and still goes from point A to point B’. So you’re just going to buy yourself a
donkey and a cart behind it and that’s how you’re going to live your life, even if

No, no, no, that’s not what the idea of
tabdhīr
is. The idea of
tabdhīr
is that
you don’t
constantly
go over in spending more than you need to, in things that
you need and things you don’t need, without any discrimination, all the time. If
you develop that habit of constantly spending money without any consideration,
any sense of financial responsibility, and you know why this is the case? And, by
the way, this is the same
āyah
we haven’t even gone to another
āyah
yet.
Because if you keep spending your money like that, what are you going to give
to your family? What are you going to give to the
miskīn
? What are you going to
give to the one that
is in a homeless situation, or the traveller? What are you
going to give to them? You’ve got nothing left to give because it all goes into
your obsession, into your collection.
It’s
okay to redecorate your house, it’s no problem. It’s okay to get a new
carpet, no problem. But if you’re constantly doing that!
