The First Sitting
Everyone begins his day as a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing about its ruin.'
The person (himself) is the one who cultivates his soul and presides over it. If he takes care of it in goodness and he purifies it by way of obedience, utilizing time for that which benefits it, then he has done well in caretaking the caretaking of his soul, firstly, then the caretaking of others. However, if he squanders his soul, then he will never take care of others. If he leaves his soul to whatever it wills from sins and laziness, then he will lose his soul; and if the person loses his soul, then what would he thus preserve if he couldn't preserve himself? His soul is the most valuable thing he has. Due to this, Allah the Glorified said:
وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا )
And by the soul and He Who perfected him in proportion; indeed, he succeeds who purifies his
own self.
[Surah ash-Shams 91:7-9]
"Purifies it," meaning: He purifies it from sins and disobedience and perfects it by way of acts of obedience and good deeds. This is the one who purifies his soul.
On the authority of Abu Malik al-Ash'ari, who said that Allah's Messenger said:
الطهور شطر الإيمان والحمد لله تملأ الميزان وسبحان الله والحمد لله تملآن أو تملأ ما بين السماوات والأرض والصلاة نور والصدقة برهان والصبر ضياء والقرآن حجة لك أو عليك كل الناس يغدو فبائع نفسه فمعتقها أو موبقها .
Purity is half of iman. Al-hamdulillah (all praise is for Allah) fills the scales. SubhanAllah (Glorified be Allah) and al-hamdulillah fill that which is between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is a light. Charity is an evidence. Patience is a radiant light. The Qur'an is an argument, either for you or against you. Everyone begins his day as a vendor of his soul, either freeing it or bringing about its ruin.
Reported by Muslim (223).

them according to their sins, and then they will enter Paradise after that.
Then Allah the Exalted mentioned the adornments of the inhabi- tants of Paradise:
يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيهَا مِنْ أَسَاوِرَ مِن ذَهَبٍ وَلُؤْلُؤًا وَلِبَاسُهُمْ
فِيهَا حَرِيرٌ )
They will be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls, and their garments therein will be silk.
[Surah Fatir 35:33]
They will be adorned with gold and pearls in Paradise. As for in this world, then it is not permissible for the men to wear gold; men can only wear gold in Paradise, as the Prophet
said:
لا تشربوا في آنية الذهب والفضة ولا تأكلوا في صحافها، فإنها لهم
الدنيا، ولكم في الآخرة . في
Do not drink from vessels of gold and silver, and do not eat from plates made of the same, for they are for them [the disbelievers] in this world and for you in the Hereafter.'
The believers will wear gold in Paradise and their vessels will be of gold and silver.
يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِم بِصِحَافٍ مِّن ذَهَبٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ )
Trays of gold and cups will be passed around them.
[Surah az-Zukhruf 43:71]
In Paradise, they will wear gold, silver, and pearls, as is mentioned in these verses. As for in this world, the believers avoid wearing them in obedience to Allah because it is for the disbelievers in this world. They are those who wear gold and silk. Silk is likewise impermissi-
