Seek the best of Allah‘s blessings
When the young men finally awoke from their sleep, they said to one another, 'Send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city, and let him find out which is the best food, and bring some of that to you.' (18:19) It is encouraged to consume the best quality and purest food, as Allah says, 'So eat of the lawful and good food Allah has provided for you.' (16:114) Similarly, there is nothing wrong with seeking the best among His other blessings, such as houses, cars, clothes, watches, perfumes, and so on ' provided one does not spend wastefully or become arrogant. In fact, Allah encourages us to live according to our means, without being extravagant, as Prophet Muhammad (SAAS) said, 'Allah loves to see the effects of His blessing on His slave.' (Tirmidhi)
