Ramadan 11th: Ten things we waste

From TUICS
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 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 its place, our hearts are filled with something or someone else.

5. Our Bodies: Wasted because we don't use them in 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 affect us or our hearts.

عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما عن النبي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: "إغتنم خمساً قبل خمس: شبابك قبل هرمك، وصحتك قبل سقمك، وغناك قبل فقرك، وفراغك قبل شغلك، وحياتك قبل موتك " رواه الحاكم والبيهقي وصححه الألباني
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “Make use of five matters before five matters would happen: make good use of your youth before you get old, your good health before your get ill, your good wealth before you get poor, your spare time before you get pre-occupied, and your life before your death” Narrated by Al-Hakim and Al-Baihaqy and corrected by Al-Albany.
