[quote]Salaam think marwan explained materialism well. Life should not be dictated by material things. Material things are not the goal, only means to the goal. As long as we use material things as a means to the end, then it is fine. But when material objects become our goal, then it is a fruitless ambition. [quote] If you own tv, comptuer etc to educate yourself and do something benefecial for the sake of Allah, then that is not materialism. But if you have all the nice things to be a [b]showoff [/b] and be with the vogue, then that is fruitless [/quote] Very good even simple me is beginning to understand. However I am still a bit confused. If I can have all these material things then without it being unislamic how is Islamm 100% against materialism. My understanding of 100% is everything? Also if I acculmulate material things because I just like them i.e just enjoy nice coloured marbles and not because I want to show off. At what point does it become unIslamic and exactl how many marbles is acceptable for me to own or am I not allowed to have any marbles because they have no function other than I get pleasure from just owning them. How sad do I now have to get rid of my marbles? Also for basic human survival one only needs very little in terms of clothes, food and shelter. Then acquistion, or desire, of anything more than what is needed for our survival not become goal for material things? regards[/quote]
