THOSE WHO ARE BLESSED WITH THE BOUNTIES OF GOD ARE NOT EXPECTED TO LIVE IN RAGS,FOR THE PROPHET HAS SAID THAT GOD LIKES TO SEE TRACES OF HIS BOUNTY ON HIS SLAVE BUT IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT HE BE UNMINDFUL OF HIS DUTIES TO HIS FELLOW CREATURES AND ABANDON HIMSELF TO LAVISHNESS,FOR THE PURPOSE OF LIFE IS NOT TO ROLL IN LUXURIES BUT TO EARN AN HONEST LIVING AND THEREBY SERVE HUMANITY.AND THIS REQUIRES NECESSARIES FOR EFFICIENCY TO THOSE WHO EARN AND ARE A BLEBODIED ANDTO THE DISABLED AT LEAST BARE NECESSARIES WHICH ACCORDING TO THE PROPHET AS GIVEN SAHIH TIRMIDHI,"ABWAB AL-ZUHD"COMPRISE A HOUSE WHEREIN TO LIVE,"necessary clothing wherewith to hide nakedness,bread and water to satisfy hunger and thirst.These two are the standards of living which may ensure satisfaction of the needs of all.The significance of simple living under the austere policy of state may be imagined by the fact,that it,in of the days of Umar Ibu Abdul-Aziz(d 720 A.D.),added so much to the prosperity of the community that there was none to accept Zakat or poor-due.
