Need vs comfort consumerism

maulana, agla sawal delhi se hai, ah miss ahmad ka. unhone likha hai: "Maulana, thanks a lot for explaining the modern consumerism and making us rethink the whole idea of shopping. However, I have a little doubt. My question is: the fine line between need based consumerism and comfort based consumerism. It is disappearing so quickly that it often becomes difficult to define what is need and what is comfort. Especially if parents provide the needful to children, the children often demand or sometimes complain for extra comfort.

So what should one do? How should a person plan a strategy for it ?" bhai dekhiye, na bachche criterion hain na parent criterion hain. jo log is mein phanse rahenge to woh to isi mein phanse rahenge. woh to kabhi un ko chutti nahi milegi marne se pehle. mein to logon se kehta hoon ke dekhiye, quran mein aaya hai ke do aayatein hain quran majeed ki. aaj kal sare log family mein phanse rehte hain. do aayatein hain, woh padhein woh. ek aayat yeh hai ke jahannami log jo hain un ke bare mein woh aayat hai:

"کان فی اہلی مسرورا" . ke apne family mein khoob khush rehte the woh. yani family ki demand poori karna aur family ki ko khush rakhna, un ki company karna, un ke liye har item dala ke dena un ko. to "کان فی اہلی مسرورا" . woh aadmi family mein jeeta tha, family ke mein khush kharam rehta tha. woh jahannum mein jayega. yeh jahannum ke liye hai. aur jannat ke liye kya hai? "انا کنا فی اہلنا مشرقین" . mushriq maani khauf, dara hua. ke jannat wale kahenge ke hum apne family mein, apne ghar mein khauf ban kar rehte the, andesha naak ban kar rehte the. allah ki pakad se dar, jahannum se dar, qayamat ki accountability se dar.

is mein jeete the hum. yeh do tasveerein hain, aap dekh lijie. yeh zamane ke musalmanon mein shayad hi koi ghar ho jo aap ko mile woh is ka namuna. is sab wohi ab family mein khush hain, family ke liye saman la rahe hain, kama kama kar un ko de rahe hain taake woh bachche khush rahen, ghar wale khush rahen, family wale khush rahen. to yeh to aap yeh rai, yani yeh yeh mat sochiye ke bachche kya kya chahte hain, parent kya chahte hain. aap dekhiye ke jannat walon ki tasveer quran mein kya hai aur jahannum walon ki tasveer quran majeed mein kya hai. is se faisla kijie.

maulana, un ka aik hissa question ka yeh bhi tha ke woh difference janna chah rahi thi ke between fine line between need based consumerism and comfort based consum erism. dekhiye, haan is ka bohat aasan hai. woh jo hadith sunai mein ne aap ko, usi hadith samajh lijiye. ke dunya mein zinda rehne ke liye jo zaroori ho wahi need based hai. aur jo jab aap aap dhoondh rahe hain, lazzat dhoondh rahe hain, aaram dhoondh rahe hain aur ronak dhoondh rahe hain aur shan daari dhoondh rahe hain to wahan par woh consumerism aa gaya. consumerism aa gaya. bohat aasan hai, bohat aasan hai. mein to dekhiye yahan rehta hoon jahan nineteen eighty three se us waqt jo mera jo kursi thi ya jo furniture tha wahi aaj bhi hai.

is beech mein. aap colony mein ghoomiye, doosron ke haan kitni baar badal chuke honge woh. ke zaroorat hi nahi badla unhon ne. market mein gaye, dekha ke naye qism ka sofa chataiya hai, naye qism ki kursiyan aayi hain to woh khareed liya, pichla wala hata diya. to aadmi bohat aasani se samajh sakta hai ke dunya mein jeene ke liye waqai zaroorat meri kya hai. bas isi par raazi ho jaon. aur doosri ke shauq ke liye aur khwahish ke liye, lazzat ke liye, ronak ke liye, logon ko khush karne ke liye. zyadatar is liye hota hai yeh yeh social status ka maamla hota hai ke log kya kahenge. social status ke aap aap choti gaadi mein baithte hain, doosra wala parosi badi gaadi mein baithta hai to aap ko lagta hai ke mera darja ghat gaya.

aap flat mein rehte hain, doosra kothi mein rehta hai to aap samajhte hain mera darja ghat gaya. aap ke kamre mein sirf mamooli kursiyan hain, us ke sofa set hai to aap samajhte hain mera darja ghat gaya. to social status jo hai woh logon ke zehan mein basa hua rehta hai. bachon ke zehan mein aur parent ke zehan mein. yeh sab jahili soch hai, jahili. bas zindagi guzarne ke liye jo zaroori cheez hai woh har aadmi samajh sakta hai bohat aasani se. bas isi par raazi ho jaiye. maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai, shail sahib ka. unhon ne sawal kiya hai: "what is wisdom and intellect؟"
