Sheikh Uthaymeen:
When a person increases in
luxuriousness, his greatest concern is to [indulge] his body in luxuriousness - A
body whose final state will be worms and rot. It is as if the human being was
not created for a great purpose – the enjoyable things of the dunya are only a
means of [fulfilling needs].
Ibn Taymiyyah said:
It is befitting that a person
utilizes wealth in the manner he utilizes his donkey for riding [i.e. when he
needs it].
