﷽
*Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 87:*
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ
O you who believe! Make not unlawful the Taiyibat (all that is good as regards foods, things, deeds, beliefs, persons, etc.) which Allah has made lawful to you, and transgress not. Verily, Allah does not like the transgressors.
#COMMENTARY
In pleasures that are good and lawful the crime is excess. There is no merit merely in abstention or asceticism, though the humility or unselfishness that may go with asceticism may have its value. In Qur-ān chapter v, verse 82, Christian monks are praised for particular virtues, though here and elsewhere monasticism is disapproved of. Use Allāh's gifts of all kinds with gratitude, but excess is not approved of by Allāh (Sub-haanahu wata'aala).
﷽
*Surah Al-Maeda, Verse 88:*
وَكُلُوا مِمَّا رَزَقَكُمُ اللَّهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّبًا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي أَنتُم بِهِ مُؤْمِنُونَ
And eat of the things which Allah has provided for you, lawful and good, and fear Allah in Whom you believe.
