The economic system of Islam (11)

Doing so is not regarded as sinful as long as it follows His path and does not transgress His limits.  God says:
“It is He Who produces gardens, with trellises and without, and dates, and tilth with produce of all kinds, and olives and pomegranates, similar (in kind) and different (in variety): eat of their fruit in their season, but render the dues that are proper on the day that the harvest is gathered.  But waste not by excess: for God loves not those who waste.” (Quran 6:141)
The fifth principle.
The fifth principle is the principle of accountability in the Hereafter. 
God has given human beings trusteeship and resources. 
This means that every single person will be questioned on the Day of Judgment as to how he or she behaved whilst enjoying his or her earthly life.
This, of course, includes our economic behavior. 
God says:
“And then on that Day (the Day of Resurrection) you will be called to account for every comfort and delight [we bestowed upon you].” (Quran 102:8)
