10 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 (Remembrance of Allah):
Wasted, because it does not effect us or
our hearts.
