Ten Things We Waste
Lessons from Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
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.
