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.
