10
things which are often wasted
- Our Knowledge: Wasted by
not taking action with it ..... more
- Our Actions: Wasted by
committing them without sincerity.
- Our Wealth: 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 akhirah (hereafter).
- Our Hearts: Wasted because
they are empty from the love of Allah, and the feeling of
longing to go to Him, and a feeling of peace and contentment. In
it's place, our hearts are filled with something or someone
else.
- Our Bodies: Wasted because
we don't use them in ibadah (worship) and service of Allah.
- Our Love: Our emotional
love is misdirected, not towards Allah, but towards
something/someone else.
- Our Time: Wasted, not used
properly, to compensate for that which has passed, by doing what
is righteous to make up for past deeds.
- Our Intellect: Wasted on
things that are not beneficial, that are detrimental to society
and the individual, not in contemplation or reflection.
- Our Service: Wasted in
service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah, or
benefit in dunyaa.
- Our Dhikr (Remembrence of
Allah): Wasted, because it does not effect us or our hearts.
