Abstract

The general concept of extravagance is mentioned in Quran approximately 23 times, all ‎instances state that all its forms are condemnable, particularly the forbidden instances, as ‎Allah says: ((Allah does not guide one who is extravagant and liar.))[Al-Ghafir 29], and He says: ‎‎((Thus God causes to go astray the extravagant and skeptic people))[Al-Momin 35], and He says: ‎‎((and We spoiled the extravagant people))[Al-Anbia 10]. There are still other evidences from ‎Quran. In this article, I will like to focus particularly on extravagance involved in foods and ‎drinks from the perspective of the Quran and Sunnah and how one should be moderate with ‎respect to them because extravagance in them involves considerable effects which indicated ‎by the holy Sunnah and are approved by modern science today. Thus, we come to the ‎conclusion that all the general rules present in these two precious sources (i.e. the Quran ‎and AhlulBayt) has become the modern science today, and after hundreds of years it is ‎revealing them one after the other. This is the magnificence of our religion and its quality of ‎including every field of life. We praise Allah Almighty that He has guided us to that and we ‎could not have been guided if Allah would not have guided us.
