Man has been created in the best form of all living things on earth, and is therefore urged to utilize the resources on earth with great care and responsibility. As life in the next world depends on his actions in this world, he should view all his actions as a mode of worship of Allah. In this regard, all his actions should benefit him and other people.
The Prophet (SAW) said: “Live in this world as if you are a stranger or a traveler who is just passing through.”
A Western thinker said: “It is most possible for you, while you are behind steel bars, to look out upon the horizon and to smell roses. It is also extremely plausible for you to be in a castle replete with opulence and comfort, and yet be angry and discontented with your family and wealth.”
