    Wasting time is worse than death!



    Ibn Al Qayyim (Ra) says: "Wasting time is worse than death because death seperates you from this world whereas wasting time seperates you from Allah".


    Therefore we must make the best use of the precious little time we have left for death is waiting for us around each corner and it will take us very swiftly without delay. It will not wait for us to change tomorrow ore next week. It will take us when our time is up. So when will we decide to change? When it is too late?

    So we must act NOW before death takes us for we are gambling with our hereafter! In the next world we will beg Allah for one more chance but by then it would have been too late!

    Therefore let us make the necessery changes to our lives right NOW! For tomorrow may never come!

    Re: Wasting Time is worse than Death!

    very true subhanAllah

    Also, we have to keep in mind that wasting free time is the door to all evils and sins which is the door to the hellfire.

    Busy people with good things to do are always less sinning than those who are wasting time in useless and haram things.

    May Allah save us

    You are right about wasting time opens door to evil, because when we are bored or have nothing to do then that is the time for the satan to start whispering and our minds start wondering everywhere

    Re: Wasting Time is worse than Death!

    Assalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
    Jazakallahu Khair for sharing!

    O my world-worshipping soul! Does your slackness in worship and remissness in the prescribed prayers arise from the multiplicity of your worldly occupations, or because you cannot find time due to the struggle for livelihood? Were you created only for this world that you spend all your time on it? You know that in regard to your abilities you are superior to all the animals, but in regard to procuring the necessities of worldly life you cannot compete with even a sparrow. So why can you not understand that your basic duty is not to labour like an animal, but to strive for a true, perpetual life, like a true human being. In addition, the things you call worldly occupations mostly do not concern you, and are trivial matters which you meddle in officiously. You neglect the essential things and pass your time acquiring inessential information as though you were going to live for a thousand years.

    Re: Wasting Time is worse than Death!

    Jazakallah Khair for the reminder this life doesnt last forever we should do deeds that will please Allah and better our position in the hereafter.

    On the authority of Abdullah ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them both), he relates that the Prophet (Peace be upon him) once held my shoulders and said: “Live in this world as (if you are) a wayfarer or a stranger.” And Abdullah ibn Umar (May Allah be pleased with them both) used to say: “If you live till night, then do not wait for the next day (i.e. do not have hopes that you will live to the next day), and if you wake up in the morning do not have hope that you will live till the night. And take (advantage) from your health before your sickness and take advantage of your life before your death (i.e. do every possible obedience in your life before death comes to you for then no deeds can be performed.)”


    [Bukhari and Tirmidhi]
    Wasting Time is worse than Death!

    "Yesterday is history.
    Tomorrow is a mystery.
    Today is a gift.
    That's why we call it 'The Present'."

    Asalaamu Alaikum, yes you will be rewarded for listening to the Qur'an in which there are many benefits. There is more reward for listening to live recitation than recorded. it is also compulsory to listen attentively when the Qur'an is being recited. It is sinful for the Qur'an to be playing and then one is not paying attention or talking to someone else and not listening to it. It would be better in that case to turn it off rather than to have it merely playing in the background not listening to it attentively. This is disrespectful to the most beautiful words in the Universe.

    In regards to the reward of listening to Qur'an recitation:

    'Whoever listens to even one verse of the Qur'an will be given double the rewards; and for the one who reads, it will become light on the Day of Resurrection' (Ahmad).

    In a hadeeth the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "Whoever reads one letter of the Book of Allaah will have one hasanah (reward) for doing so, and every hasanah will be multiplied by 10. I do not say that `Alif, laam, meem' is one letter, but `Alif' is a letter, `laam' is a letter and `meem' is a letter.'"

    So you should recite the Qur'an yourself as much as is possible as this is the greater reward and one gains 10 hasanah (good deeds) by reciting just one letter. Subhanallah! Set yourself a daily target which you feel you can fulfill like 1 juz or half or quarter juz etc.

    You must also read the translation and tafseer of the Qur'an so that you can understand what Allah is telling us in the Qur'an and ponder and contemplate over its meanings. The main thing is to act upon and implement whatever you read in the Qur'an into your everyday life and convey the message to others so that they may benefit to inshallah.

    And Allah knows best in all matters

    Re: Wasting Time is worse than Death!

    Ibn al-Qayyim (RA) says: "The year is like a tree, months are its branches, days
    are the branch sticks, hours are its leaves, and the breaths are its fruits.
    Therefore, if one's breaths are in obedience [to Allah and His Messenger], the
    fruits of his tree are good. If they are in disobedience, his fruits are
    bitter. The harvest is on the Appointed Day, when one's fruits are found out to
    be either good or bitter."


    The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alaiyhi wa sallam) also said:

    "Lose no time to do good deeds before you are caught up by one of seven
    calamities awaiting you: a starvation which may impair your wisdom; a
    prosperity which may mislead you; an ailment which may damage your health; an
    old age which may harm your senses; a sudden death; the Dajjal; or Doomsday,
    which is indeed the hardest and most bitter."
    [at-Tirmidhi]

    Exclamation Re: Wasting Time is worse than Death!

    It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Two blessings which many people do not make the most of: good health and spare time.” Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 6412.

    So let us make the best use of our health and spare time that we have and not waste a second for each second that is wasted can NEVER be regained and will be a source of HUGE regret on the Day of Judgement!
