Among the human species, he is the only being who lives focused on the future and has the desire to accumulate sustenance for it. He is a traveler who calculates the future one day and saves a century of property, then abandons all his savings and sets out barefoot. He also knows that there is no guarantee of tomorrow, but his passions have blinded him. He forgot that he was a passenger in the world guesthouse and took on a heavy responsibility by stacking everything he could reach.
 
It is a virtue to accumulate good for tomorrow, and to accumulate property is a sin, because the poor have a right to everything that is extra. There is the right of the slave in waste and nothing that interferes with the right can bring peace to human life. A person who has a consumption disease thinks that having more things can make him rich, but waste makes him poor spiritually, and spiritual poverty disrupts the balance of life and invites mental problems.
 
As it is known, Covid-19, which affected our lives, caused economic crisis and impoverishment all over the world. But people could neither face themselves nor put an end to their wasteful habit. While the elite continued their lives by opening a new living space for themselves, the poor became even poorer and could not even meet their essential needs.
 
According to statistical data, 11 percent of the world's population lives on the border of hunger, and despite this, more than 6 million breads are thrown away every day in our country. About 1.3 tons of food is left in the garbage every year, which is enough to feed the hungry population of the world. But man has a cruel side, he avoids offering and sharing, he does not refrain from leaving it in the trash.
 
Islam did not directly prohibit private property, but by ordering zakat, alms and charity, it prevented the collection of property in one person. But today, Muslims have abandoned these values ​​and integrated into the existing system and naturally it has become a wasteful lifestyle. Because the global culture emphasizes that you should consume more of everything and evaluates you on the axis of your expenditures. You do everything you want, but you cannot please the system that enslaves you, and you open up to an endless corridor. Because you don't know where you are and where you should be.
