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(this world).
10. Our Dhikr (Remembrence of Allah):
Wasted, because it does not touch us or our hearts.
