Ten Things We Waste

[القلب الطيب]

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 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 it's
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 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 our life.

10.
Our Remembrence of Allah : Wasted, because it does not effect us or
our hearts.
