The questioner : Also, he asks: What is the Muslim's stance regarding them, meaning these blessings?
The Shaykh : The Muslim's stance regarding these blessings is what we mentioned a moment ago: that he should use them to assist in the obedience of Allah, and that he should thank Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for making them subservient and easy for him, and that he should not exceed the limit in extravagance in enjoying them. For the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade excessive comfort, because excessive comfort causes the soul to be preoccupied with caring for the pleasure of the body, rather than performing what the servant was created for, which is the worship of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He).
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
