Commentary 7:32Our Lord expects from us neither that we live the life of monasticism nor does it recommend self-renunciation and self-mortification in order to please…
قُلْ مَنْ حَرَّمَ زِينَةَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي أَخْرَجَ لِعِبَادِهِ وَالطَّيِّبَاتِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ ۚ قُلْ هِيَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا خَالِصَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ۗ
7:32Our Lord expects from us neither that we live the life of monasticism nor does it recommend self-renunciation and self-mortification in order to please Him. This verse contradicts any belief that these practices will lead to God. The verse implies disapproval of those who forbid the use of “pure and good things”.
