"Ibrahim ibn Adham used to ask his companions about the price of food, and when told that it was expensive, he would reply: "render it cheap by abandoning it."
- Imam Al Ghazzali, from The Breaking of the Two Desires.
One cannot abandon a thing one does not have the ability to acquire. Therefore it is the responsibility of the rich to abandon in solidarity with the poor.
