Such a course of self - sacrifice reflects practical wisdom, for as Jesus said, “what benefit will it be to a man if he gains the whole world but forfeits his soul? ”
وَهِيَ تَسْتَلْزِمُ أَلَّا نَسْعَى وَرَاءَ ٱلْغِنَى ٱلْمَادِّيِّ ،‏ بَلْ نَجْتَهِدَ ‹ لِعَمَلِ ٱلصَّلَاحِ وَنَكُونَ أَغْنِيَاءَ بِٱلْأَعْمَالِ ٱلْحَسَنَةِ › .‏
