Assalamu alaikum wr wb
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
in the name of Allah, most Compassionate, most Merciful
Ten Things We Waste
(Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah)
1. Knowledge:
Wasted when not taking action with it.
2. Actions:
Wasted when we do anything without sincerity. Intentions count.
3. Wealth:
Wasted when used on things that will not bring us ājr (reward). We waste our money, our status, our authority,on things that have no benefit in this life or in ākhirah (The Hereafter).
4. Hearts:
Wasted when empty from the love of Allah, and the longing for Him/Her, and devoid of peace & contentment.
5. Bodies:
Wasted when we don't use them in ibādah (worship) and service of Allah in serving humankind.
6. Love:
Wasted when our emotional love is misdirected, not towards Allah,but towards something/someone else.
7. Time
Wasted when not used properly, by not doing what is righteous.
8. Intellect
Wasted on things that are detrimental to society and the individual,not in contemplation or reflection.
9. Service:
Wasted when in service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah.
10. Dhikr:
Wasted when it does not effect our hearts.
