Quran verses about Extravagance and waste

الإسراف

18 verses in 12 surahs · 1 subtopic

Excess is treated in these verses from several angles: in spending, where the right course lies between waste and stinginess, and also in matters other than wealth. They recall that Allah does not like those who commit excess, call the extravagant a brother of Satan, and announce the evil end of the excessive in this world and the Hereafter.
