The reason for a man to be prudent is to be moderate in his expenditure. A Hadith says whoever adopts a modest attitude will not be needy. (Musnad Ahmad). Difference between Extravagance (‫ )اسراف‬and Expending wastefully (‫)تبذیر‬: Extravagance: It means spending more than necessary. For example, spending more on your food or clothing Expanding Wastefully: It is said to spend on such activities which have nothing to do good. For example, showing off and in things of debauchery. ‎ )27‎:‫ (الارساء‬‎‫الش ْی َط ُان ِل َ ِرب ِه َك ُف اورا‬ ‫ا ذن الْ ُم َب ِذ ِر َين ََكنُوا اخ َْو َان ذ‬ ‫الش َیا ِطنيِ َو ََك َن ذ‬ ِ ِ “Verily spendthrifts are brothers Of the Satan (Evil Ones), and the Satan is to his Lord (Himself) Ungrateful.” ‫ُون َو َمن ي َ ْف َع ْل َذَٰ ِ َِل يَلْ َق َأ ََث اما۔ يُضَ ا َع ْف َ ُل الْ َع َذ ُاب‬ َ ‫اّلل ا ذَّل ِِبلْ َح ِق َو ََّل ي َ ْ نز‬ ُ ‫ون النذ ْف َس ال ذ ِِت َح ذر َم ذ‬ َ ُ‫اّلل ال َ َٰ هاا أخ ََر َو ََّل ي َ ْق ُتل‬ ِ ‫ُون َم َع ذ‬َ ‫َو ذ ِاَّل َين ََّل يَدْ ع‬ ِ ِ ‫اّلل غَ ُف اورا ذر ِحمياا۔ َو َمن َتَ َب‬ ُ ‫ات َو ََك َن ذ‬ ٍ َ‫اّلل َسي ِئ َ ِ ِاِت ْم َح َس ن‬ُ ‫ي َ ْو َم الْ ِقيَا َم ِة َو َ َْي ُ ْل ِفي ِه ُمهَاَنا ۔ ا ذَّل َمن َتَ َب َوأ َم َن َو َ َِع َل َ ََع اَل َصا ِل احا فَأُول َ َٰ ئِ َك ي ُ َب ِد ُل ذ‬ ِ )71-68:‫اّلل َمتَ ااِب۔ (الفرقان‬ ِ ‫وب ا َٰل ذ‬ ُ ‫َو َ َِع َل َصا ِل احا فَان ذ ُه ي َ ُت‬ ِ ِ “Those who invoke not, With God, any other god, Nor slay such life as God Has made sacred, except For just cause, not commit Fornication, and any that does This (not only) meets punishment. (But) the Penalty on the Day of Judgment will be doubled to him, and he will dwell Therein in ignominy. Unless he repents, believes, and works righteous deeds, For God will change the evil of such persons into good, and God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. And whoever repents and does good has truly turned to God with an (acceptable) conversion”. Calling someone god other than Allah is shirk. The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) was asked, which sin is the greatest? He (PBUH) said, "That you associate anyone with Allah, even though He created you. He said, which sin is greater after that? He said, killing your children for the fear that they will eat with you, he asked, then which one? He (PBUH) said, that you commit adultery with your neighbor's wife. Then he (PBUH) said that these things are confirmed by this verse, then he recited this same verse.

(73) Those who, when they are admonished with the signs of their Lord, droop not down at them as if they were deaf or blind. (74) And those who pray, “Our Lord! Grant unto us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous”. ٰ ‫الر‬ The above verses describe the attributes of Ibad Al-Rahman)‫حن‬ ‫ (عباد‬. Ibad Al-Rahman means the servants of Rahman, i.e. those people whom Allah is pleased with and whose attributes have been mentioned as examples to follow in the Holy Qur'an. Meaning of Shahadat (‫ )شہادة‬and Zoor)‫ (زور‬: Shahadat means to be present, to testify. The meaning of “Zoor” does not only a lie but every false and absurd act is also included in “Zoor”. The meaning of the verse is that where something absurd and vulgar is being done. The servants of Allah do not attend it but avoid such places. They do not ignore the verses of God, like a deaf and the blind. Rather, they listen attentively and meditate on the words of Allah. The servants of Allah are not only on the right path rather, they also ask for good fortune for their families, i.e. wives and children. They pray to God to make them leaders of the pious. One thing to consider here is that asking for position in power, being a seeker of worldly positions is not appreciated, but increasing in good deeds and praying to be leader means that people accept you as a leader in the path of goodness, this kind of prayer and wish is appreciated. ِ ِ ‫﴾ خ‬٧٥﴿‎‫ُأول َ َٰ ئِ َك ُ ُْي َز ْو َن الْغ ُْرف َ َة ِب َما َص َ َُبوا َويُلَقذ ْو َن ِفيهَا َ َِتیذ اة َو َس ََل اما‬ )76‫َت‬75:‫﴾ (الفرقان‬٧٦﴿‎‫َاِل َين ِفيهَا َح ُسن َ ْت ُم ْس تَقَ ًّرا َو ُمقَا اما‬ “Those are the ones who will be rewarded with the highest place in heaven, Because of their patient constancy: Therein shall they be met with salutations and peace, (76) Dwelling therein, how beautiful an abode and place of rest”. Here these servants are promised paradise as a reward for their patience.  The question arises, what is patience? Patience is not to be patient in the absence of power or strength, but patience is to stop doing something wrong for the sake of Allah even if you have the power, even if you find an opportunity to commit a sin. They will be welcomed in Paradise with greetings and blessings and they will be admitted to Paradise with honor. They will live forever in heaven, which is the best abode. Food in heaven will be pure fruits, all paradises will be free from disease, weaknesses, and all kinds of disease. All the heavenly beings are always happy under the shade of Allah's mercy, His pleasure and pleasure, and will live forever.
