The Deviation of the Youth- Idleness

[Umm Yoosuf]

Idleness is a disease. It kills the thoughts, intellect and the body's strength. As long as a person has the spirit and ability to be active then it is a must that he does so. Whenever, the body is inactive idiocy, thick-headedness occurs causing the soul's movement to be weakened. Whispers and wicked ideas occupy the heart. Occasionally wicked intentions occur and the youth give vent to these suppressed desires due to idleness.

The remedy to this problem is for the youth to strive to attain activities that suit him such as reading, merchandising, writing and others which are barriers between him and idleness. It is necessary for this youth to be an upright active member of his society for his sake and the sake of his society.

Sometimes u strive a lot, and then u lose the energy to strive anymore, u drop, right there.

 

[BeTheChange]

In your moment of weakness one needs to remember this advice.

You loose the ability to think sometimes. Your emotions and the devil's whispering get the better of you.

It's important to keep the mind occupied - your less likely to commit sins this way as your mind is engaged in the activity. Very true.
