In Q.17:27, the extravagant are likened to associates of ____________
A. pious people B. Pharaoh C. Satan D. soothsayers
Correct Answer: C
Explanation
it is writing that "Verily the spendthrifts are brothers of the shaytan (Devil) ..." Those who spend lavishly are the associate of Satan. A man should not reserve his earnings and his wealth exclusively for his own person. He should do his utmost to fulfill his own necessities of life in a moderate way and render the rights of his relatives, neighbors and other needy persons as well. This attitude will help create the spirit of cooperation, sympathy and justice in the collective Islamic life. Thus every relative will cooperate with the other and every rich person will help the needy in his neighborhood and a wayfarer would find himself an honorable guest among generous hosts.
