DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME
➖➖➖
Being a Productive Muslim
➖➖➖Allah ﷻ says
وَالعَصْرِBy time
إِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ
Surely Mankind is in Loss!
[103:1-2]Allah ﷻ swears by the time, that mankind is at a loss!
Because time can never increase for a person, it is only ever decreasing.Death doesn’t stop because the guy is on life support.
And if a person defies death somehow, then the appointed time for him has not come yet.We are younger and we are stronger and we should make use of this,
Ibn Abbas رضي الله عنه narrates that Prophet ﷺ said “Take advantage of five matters before five other matters:
1. Your youth, before you become old;
2. Your health, before you fall sick;
3. Your richness, before you become poor;
4. Your free time before you become busy;
5. Your life, before your death.”
[Musnad Imam Ahmad]We should heed this Prophetic Advice, because life is indeed short!
Allah ﷻ describes the life of a person as stages
لَتَرْكَبُنَّ طَبَقاً عَن طَبقٍ
You shall certainly enter stage after stage.
[84:19]
Ikrimah رضي الله عنه said “Stage after stage. Weaned after he was breast feeding, and an old man after he was a young man.”Al Hasan Al Basri رحمه الله said “Stage after stage. Ease after difficulty, difficulty after ease, wealth after poverty, poverty after wealth, health after sickness, and sickness after health.”
And Allah ﷻ also describes the temporary nature of this Dunya,
وَلَلاٌّخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الاٍّولَى
And indeed the Hereafter is better for you than the present.
[93:4]
meaning, the abode of the Hereafter is better for you than this current abode. For this reason the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be the most abstinent of the people concerning the worldly things, and he was the greatest of them in his disregard for worldly matters.What we learn is that the Life in Dunya is Short!
And the hereafter is eternal!
And earning a good abode means working hard.
Not wasting time sitting idle.Learn your Deen!
Even if it means reading the Tafseer of one Ayah.The time for playing is gone!
Forget the girls/boys, forget the fast cars, forget the adulation of wealth, submit to Allah ﷻ and use your life wisely!May Allah ﷻ make us among those who utilise their time in the most beneficial manner.
آمين
