Ten Things We Waste

[Herer]

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.

These jewels need to be hanged in our living rooms for all the family to see every morning as we go to work or school, and at every night as we retire to bed to account for our actions.

JZK Aden. Indeed we must not become "wastemans" as they say in London slang. Talking about tens, Uthman(ra) is reported to have said:

 

[4] ` “The most futile of all things are ten – a

scholar who is not asked, knowledge which is not acted upon, a correct opinion

which is not accepted, a weapon which is not used, a mosque wherein none pray,

a copy of the Qur’an which is not read, wealth which is not spent, a horse which

is not mounted, knowledge of asceticism by one who pursues the dunya, and a

long life in which no provisions have been prepared for the departure,”
