It is incumbent on you to act in worship in a way that you can tolerate.

It is incumbent on you to act in worship in a way that you can tolerate.”[^4] The Messenger of Allah (SAW) has been reported by Imam Baqir (AS) as saying: “Be aware that for every worship, there is a inclination and willingness, and then it shall diminish. Therefore, whoever turns willingly toward my Sunnah has been guided and whoever contradicts my Sunnah shall be misled and his acts shall be ruined. As for me, I offer prayer, sleep, fast, break my fasting, laugh, and weep.

So, whoever turns away from my way and Sunnah is not from me.”[^5] As for extravagance, God says: “…and do not act extravagantly; surely He does not love the extravagant.” [^6] In another verse, God says: “Surely, the squanderers were ever brothers of the devils, and the devil was ever an ingrate to his Lord…And let not thy hand be chained to thy neck nor open it with a complete opening, lest thou sit down rebuked, denuded.” [^7] Being asked about the meaning of the verse, Imam Sadiq (AS) said: “Whoever spends anything in other than the way of Allah is extravagant and whoever spends in the way of goodness is moderate.”[^8] Imam Sadiq (AS) has been reported by Abu Baseer as saying: “Observe Taqwa, do not act extravagantly, and be moderate, for squander is like extravagance.

God has said: “Do not squander wastefully.” [^9] God will not punish the moderate.”[^10] Basheer ibn Marwan narrated: “I was in the presence of Imam Sadiq (AS). They brought dates for us. Some people threw away the stones of the dates. The Imam stopped them, saying: ‘Do not do that. It is wastefulness. God does not like the wasteful ones.”[^11] We should really take lessons from the Imam who speaks on behalf of the Holy Prophet and on behalf of God.

What shall we do with our dustbins that are full of leftovers like bread, rice, other kinds of food, and fruits?
