Why do we change?
Why do we insist on bigger/ newer is better, the moment our financial abilities permit or our economy improves?
Is change an improvement? Or mandatory testimony of our improvement/successes?
The prophet s.a.w slept on the floor because everybody could not afford to sleep on soft beds. His house was a small mud hut without proper door and roof. His food was coarse barley bread which could not be swallowed without the help of water. He practiced all these austerities for maintaining the standard of equality, love and brotherhood of mankind.
He said, “None of you is a true Muslim unless you like for others what you like for yourself”. He said this and acted upon it, for his food was the humblest, his dress was the humblest, and his abode was the humblest.
A Western scholar has said, “From the shepherd boy, merchant of Syria and equal to the Kings, Muhammad never changed”.
