Some activities that waste time

Dear Islamic brothers! Instead of wasting the precious moments of our life in useless activities, we all should associate ourselves with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami and carry out the deeds which bring us success in this world and the Hereafter. But regretfully, majority of people feel proud in wasting their time instead of being ashamed and regretting over it. What are those useless acts in which we waste our precious moments and then face failures? Let us listen to 3 of such acts:

Dear Islamic brothers! Internet is also one of the biggest means of wasting time. Remember! As the right usage of internet has countless benefits, similarly, its wrong and unnecessary usage also has harmful effects. One of the biggest harm is the waste of time. Some people have become such habitual of internet, Facebook and WhatsApp that they do not stop using their mobile phone even for a moment. They keep sharing the updates of their sleeping, waking up, shopping, eating and various other matters with their friends every now and then. Crossing the boundaries of shamelessness and immodesty, unveiled girls are also at the forefront of this. They also feel proud in sharing their indecent pictures.

Our youth has indulged so much in the ill-usage of internet that they spend hours in it. If they do not use it someday, then they feel restless and it feels as if their time is not passing. Just ponder! Have you ever felt so sad and restless after missing reciting the Holy Quran any day? Did you feel restless in case of missing Ishraq, Chasht or Tahajjud Salah?

Would that! We could be blessed with the yearning and passion for the recitation of the Holy Quran! Would that! We could be blessed with worshipping Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ abundantly!
