Priorities
Ramadān Daily - Day 28
One of the righteous said:
لَيْسَ الزُّهْدُ فِي الدُّنْيَا بِتَحْرِيمِ الْحَلَالِ وَلَا إِضَاعَةِ الْمَالِ، وَلَكِنْ أَنْ تَكُونَ بِمَا فِي يَدِ اللَّهِ أَوْثَقَ مِنْكَ بِمَا فِي يَدِكَ
Asceticism (zuhd) is not about forbidding what is lawful nor wasting wealth. Rather, it is that your trust in what is with Allāh is stronger than your trust in what is in your own hands.
You can “have the best of both worlds”, only if you’re good at prioritizing.
