as you are using the computer now, it has been very useful to the community of many other muslims all around the world. as with the tv, we can use it for islamic studies, like the vcr and dvd and cassettes.
their is no faster way to send a messsage to our families overseas, it's cheaper than the phone, you can send pages of info and e-cards anything.
like with the spoon for soup or watch to tell time, we need somethings, and somethings we don't need. we must filter out what is useful and what is foolishness, a waste of time
like cars, and beleive me i love cars, but i don't need a bmw to get to where i need to go, that is extravagant but i do need a car, i don't need to be rich, but i do need to have enough (Allah forbids) in case of emergency, and to make my home comfortable for my family.
Somethings are good in this world others are just allurements.
If you have it like that, to have a car for you and one for your wife, because of the children and her saftey, and schedules al-hamdu'llah. but we shouldn't be too flashy, and i use to have many outfits, but narrrowed it down, for women it's alittle different, but for us brothers it's too much.
all my opinion
As-salaamualaikum wa rhamantu'llah
