phone and through the unnecessary or sinful usage of social media. It is as if they accumulate the provisions of embarrassment and regret for this world and the Hereafter.

Whereas, if the same time was spent in noble deeds such as offering Salah, observing Sawm, performing Zikr or reciting Salat, reciting the Holy Quran, Hamd, Na’at, serving parents, calling Islamic sisters towards righteousness, making preparation for the matters of the grave and the Hereafter, bringing up children [in accordance with Shari’ah] and gaining Islamic knowledge, then blessings of these would surely be received in this world and the Hereafter.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب    صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

Dear Islamic sisters! Remember! Time is a great blessing of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. On the Day of Judgement, the way people will be questioned about different blessings, similarly, they will be questioned about time as well. They will also be asked what activities they spent their life in.

Allah Almighty says in Part 30, Surah At-Takasur, Ayah No. 8:

ثُمَّ لَتُسْــٴَـلُنَّ یَوْمَىٕذٍ عَنِ النَّعِیْمِ۠(۸)

Translation from Kanz-ul-Iman: Then indeed, on that Day, you will surely be questioned regarding the bounties (of Allah upon you).

(Part 30, Surah At-Takasur, Ayah 8)

Commenting on the above-mentioned blessed Ayah, ‘Allamah Maulana Mufti Muhammad Sayyid Na’eemuddin Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has stated: You will be questioned about those blessings which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ had bestowed upon you. For example, health, wealth, leisure time, peace, comfort etc. Through these blessings, you used to seek pleasure and comfort for yourselves in the world. You will be asked: What uses of these things you made? How did you pay gratitude for these things? And you will be punished for being ungrateful.
