Ten Things
We
Waste
1. Our
Knowledge:
Wasted by not taking action with it
2. Our Actions: Wasted by committing them
without sincerity.
3. 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).
4. 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.
5. Our Bodies: Wasted because we don't use
them in ibadah (worship) and service of Allah.
6. Our Love: Our emotional love is
misdirected, not towards Allah, but towards something/someone
else.
7. Our
Time:
Wasted, not used properly, to compensate for that which has
passed, by doing what is righteous to make up for past
deeds.
8. Our Intellect:
Wasted
on things that are not beneficial, that are detrimental to
society and the individual, not in contemplation or
reflection.
9. Our Service:
Wasted in service of someone who will not
bring us closer to Allah, or benefit in dunyaa.
10. Our Dhikr (Remembrence of Allah):
Wasted, because it does not effect us or our
hearts.
