: Extravagance in Islam (Israf) : Shopping has become an inherent part of Ramadan these days. However one must remember that wasting time and wasting money on worldly things is something disliked in Islam. “O Children of Adam! Take your adornment (by wearing your clean clothes) while praying and going round the Ka’bah, and eat and drink but waste not by extravagance, certainly He (Allah) likes not Al-Musrifin (those who waste by extravagance).” (Aayah No. 31, Surah Al-A’raf, Chapter No. 7, Holy Qur’an). Allah does not like people who waste by extravagance. This type of extravagance may take place due to either carelessness, or due to negligence, or due to arrogance, or due to foolishness. Whatever be the reason, it is not allowed in Islam. Israf can also take place due to one another reason. A person may end up doing Israf, in spite of his / her intention of doing something noble. There is another verse “Verily, the spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayatin (devils), and the Shaitan is ever ungrateful to his Lord.” (Aayah No’s 26 & 27, Surah Al-Isra’, Chapter No. 17, Holy Qur’an). A person doing such a thing is said to be brother of Shayatin. What more do we need to know about the severity of wrong associated with it? #RamadanTraining
