The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘Asceticism from worldly pleasures means to cut short ones hopes of this world, to be grateful for every single bounty, to have piety and to keep away from all that which Allah has prohibited.
رسولُ اللهِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): الزُّهدُ في الدنيا قَصرُ الأمَلِ ، وشُكرُ كُلِّ نِعمَةٍ ، والوَرَعُ عن كُلِّ ما حَرَّمَ اللّهُ.
