salam all
Although I might disagree with my dear brother Wael on how he introduced the topic, but u know what FHC, your quote:"you'll fully understand what it means to renounce them for the kingdom". This is how exactly Allah Described in Quran that they invented it and were unable to fully observe it. And I understand how u wanted to answer back using the same approach.
But the Monasticism which they invented for themselves, We did not prescribe for them, but (they sought it) only to please Allah therewith, but that they did not observe it with the right observance. (quran 75:27)
