Reflection

The Messenger of God (peace and mercy be upon him) said:

"God the Exalted is good and accepts only that which is good. Indeed God has commanded the believers to do that which he commanded the messengers. The Exalted has said: 'Messengers, eat good things and do good deeds.' And God the Exalted has said : 'You who believe, eat the good things We have provided for you.'"

Then he mentioned [the case of] a man who, having journeyed far, is disheveled and dusty, and who spreads out his hands to the sky [saying] : "O Lord! O Lord!" --meanwhile his food is unlawful, his drink unlawful, his clothing unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully--so how could he be answered?!"
[Narrated by Muslim]
