1. --Our Knowledge-- Wasted by not taking action with it.

2. --Our Actions-- Wasted by committing them with out sincerity.

8. --Our Intellect-- Wasted on things that are not beneficial, that are detremental to society and the individual, not in contemplation or reflection.

May Allah lead ur all 2 da right path Ameen,,,

Jazaaki Allahu Khirah dear sister,,,

excellent point womenofjihad

another thing we waste would be our lives
if not waste it then we are not fully appreciating it cus there ae people in the world dying for all sorts of reasons (i.e. palestine/isreal conflict where people are getting killed left right and centre - civilians no less)
i try to appreciate everything i have
my house, my intelligence,my body, my soul... everything

its a shame we as humans waste so much.
it is also a shame that we do not appreciate the things we take for granted. just think about the stuff that you have in your house. and then think of those who have nuthing - no parents, no family. it is such a shame to see people waste their life. mashalla allah has blest many of us with a chance at good education. unfortunately there are people in this world that do not have as high a level of education as those given in places such as: america, britain etc.

i dislike those who waste their school life - it just shows how unnapreciative they are. and that they dont know how lucky they are.

I hate it when people waste food, especially when you're paying for it.

Not forgetting Our TONGUE .... thats Wasted as well.. we use our Tongues is unecessary talks, such as gheebah , swearing , cursin , n talkin abt other wrdly stuff which affects our imaan .. infact we should use our tongues mostly in doing dhikr .or saying such stuff which would benefit others and not cause harmss.. it is said SPEAK GOOD OR REMAIN SILENT

Ameen

we also waste the blessed month of ramadan, we should grab as much taqwa as possible in this great month! When this month comes, people become islamic for 4 weeks, you see the mosques full, brothers who did not before ramadan have beards, decide to grow them. But when this month passes, the beads go, the mosques are emptied, the islamic atmosphere is gone. So this month is wasted!

Re: Ten Things We Waste

i've been getting alot of that in my email recently!
heres another one:

"You should not neglect your time, nor use it haphazardly; on the contrary you should bring yourself to account , structure your litanies and other practices during each day and night, assign to each period a fixed and specific function. This is how to bring about the spiritual blessing (baraka) in each period. But if you leave yourself adrift, aimlessly wandering as cattle do, not knowing how to occupy yourself at every moment, your time will be lost. It is nothing other than your life, and your life is the capital that you make use of to reach perpetual felicity in the proximity of God the Exalted. Each of your breaths is a priceless jewel, since each of them is irreplaceable and once gone, can never be retrieved. Do not be like the deceived fools who are joyous because each day their wealth increases while their life grows ever shorter? Therefore be joyous only for an increase in knowledge or in good works, for they are your two companions who will accompany you in your grave when your family, wealth, children and friends stay behind."

~ Imam Abu Hamid al-Ghazali, Bidayat ul-Hidaya ~
