Commentary
Islam is a system of life given by The Creator of the nature, so it is exactly according to the human nature, therefore Islam does not ignore the worldly needs to propagate the religion only. It burdens on a person only to the extent that does not affect the rights of his body and soul, family and dependents, kith and kin, friends and loved ones.
