When I think of what Luxury is? the first thing that comes to my mind is having something other people don't, stand out from the crowd, If Channel bags are sold for 100 riyal then where is the luxury in wearing it, if everyone else can get it.
everyone sees luxury from his social statue, one can see buying coffee with 10 riyal is luxury, another may think buying coffee for 25 is luxury, it depends,
Imam Ali said, " whoever gets rich, is from poor man's money"
this may not make sense but when you think about it, everyone has specific money for his own life, I'm responsible for every riyal I spend, when I know that some people are dying from hunger, who could I go and buy a coffee for 15 riyals when I can get it for 2 riyals, I'll be asked for these 13 riyals.
it means the extra money I have I'm spending it to achieve my physical pleasure is luxury and God will ask me about it, because it is not my money, God gave it to me, one day I'll be asked for each Riyal I spent.
We've become very materialistic, luxury has become very important in our lives, how come a holiday can be a holiday if it doesn't have luxury, doing something other people can't. otherwise it won't be luxury.
