Ten
Things We Waste
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.
--Our Knowledge-- Wasted
by not taking action with it. Wasted
by committing them without sincerity. Wasted
by using on things that will not bring us ajr (reward from Allah).
We waste our money, our status, our authority, on things which have no
benefit in this life or in the akhirah (hereafter). Wasted
because they are empty from the love of Allah (swt) and his Messenger
(sallallahu 'alahi wasallam), and a feeling of peace and contentment.
In it's place, our hearts are filled with something or someone else. Wasted
because we don't use them in ibadah (worship) and service of Allah. Our
emotional love is misdirected, not towards Allah, but towards
something/someone else. Wasted,
not used properly, to compensate for that which has passed, by doing what
is righteous to make up for past deeds. Wasted
on things that are not beneficial, that are detremental to society and the
individual, not in contemplation or reflection. Wasted
in service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah, moreover
something that will benefit us in dunya. Wasted,
because it does not effect us or our hearts. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Those
who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of
Allah, verily in the remembrance of Allah do the hearts find solace. (13:
