1. Wasting time.
2. Talking about matters that don’t concern us, matters that are none of our business.
“From the goodness of one’s Islam is leaving alone that which does not concern him.”
3. Being preoccupied with trivial issues. Listening to rumors, predictions, and gossip are three common examples. Having these characteristic results in paranoia, anxiety, and a lack of purpose in life.
So Allah gave them the reward of this world, and the excellent reward of the Hereafter. (Qur ‘an 3: 148)
My Guidance shall neither go astray, nor fall into distress and misery. (Qur’an 20: 123)

Hardship makes one turn humbly toward one’s Lord. Someone once said, “How Perfect is Allah, Who has elicited supplication through hardship.” It has been related that Allah tested one of His slaves in a matter and then said to the Angels that it was, “In order to hear his voice,” meaning his supplications and invocations.

To be successful means for you to have good qualities which outnumber and overshadow your bad qualities? When this becomes a reality in your life, you will find that people will shower compliments upon you, even for qualities that you do not possess. People will not accept criticism of you either, even if what is said about you is true – a mountain is not increased in worthiness by an extra rock nor is it diminished by one less rock. Read more ›

So whoever’s money is usurped here shall find it there; whoever is oppressed here shall find justice carried out there; and whoever oppresses here shall find his punishment there.
Immanuel Kant, the German philosopher, said, Read more ›

Do you wish to stay young, healthy, rich, and immortal? If you desire these things, you will not find them in this world; however, you can find them in the Hereafter. Allah, the Exalted, has decreed misery and impermanence for this world. He called this life a trifle and an enjoyment of deception.
There is a well-known poet from long ago, who for the greater part of his life lived a life of penury. In the prime of his youth, he wanted money and could not get it. He wanted a wife too, but he failed in that pursuit as well. When he became old, with white hair and brittle bones, he became rich. Many women were now willing to marry him and he lived a comfortable life. The irony of his story is that he was poor when he was able to enjoy all comforts and that he became rich when he could no longer enjoy the pleasures of life. He composed these verses in the latter part of his life: Read more ›
