DO NOT BE EXTRAVAGANT AND LIVE YOUR LIFE IN MODERATION Islam is not against being RICH or enjoying LIFE. Islam warns us from becoming arrogant and extravagant or feeling that our wealth alone will shield us from Allah. If we use our money properly, we get reward for our good deeds. But if we oppress others or fail to help those who need our help and use our money for only selfish reasons, then our money will be used to punish us during our accountability : God says in the Holy Quran: And they said, We are more [than the believers] in wealth and children, and we are not to be punished. (Saba 34:35) Say, Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it], but most of the people do not know. (Saba 34:36) And also said in another ayah: Say, Indeed, my Lord extends provision for whom He wills of His servants and restricts [it] for him. But whatever thing you spend [in His cause] - He will compensate it; and He is the best of providers. (Saba 34:39)
