ازْهَدْ فِي الدُّنْيَا discourages greed. كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ reminds us that worldly life is temporary. Neither direction conflicts with entrusted responsibilities, honest earnings, and timely payment of workers; in fact, they encourage responsible priorities.
A person may use worldly goods for lawful needs without placing them above integrity, faith, and relationships. Care for one’s own property should go alongside protection of other people’s rights, while envy of what others have should not control our choices.
