Leading a Simple Life Style

And on that Day, you will most surely be questioned as to all the favors (bestowed on you). (at-Takathur 102:8)

 

266. Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The successful one is he who becomes Muslim, has adequate provision and whom Allah makes satisfied with what He gives him.” (Sahih Muslim, Zakah, 125).

269. Abu Karima al-Miqdam ibn Ma’dikarib, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say, ‘A human being fills up no vessel worse than his belly. Enough for a son of Adam are some morsels which will kept his back straight. If it cannot be avoided, then a third is for his food, a third for his drink, and a third for his breath (i.e. leave this part empty).” (Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Zuhd, 47).
