I urge everyone including myself to keep busy, not to give in to laziness and idleness, for these will lead to worries, anxiety, devilish whispers and doubts that nothing can relieve except hard work.
In the lap of idleness, immorality is born and the germs of death and oblivion are generated. But if the mission of the living is to be active, then the idle are dead.
If this world is a preparation for a greater life that is to come hereafter, then the idle deserve to be gathered penniless, with no harvest but loss and doom.
The Prophet (s.a.w) pointed out that there are thousands who are unaware of the blessings of wealth and free time that have been bestowed upon them. He said: “There are two blessings of which many people are careless; good health and free time.”
How many sound-bodied people go about in life with no goal to drive them, nothing to occupy them, no mission to devote their life to and try their best to make it succeed?
Life was created for a purpose, so were the heavens, the earth and everything in between. Man should understand the purpose (behind this creation) and live for it.
But if we dwell in the shadow of our narrow desires and hide away blinkered by their limitations, then what a bad choice that is for our present and future.
Our life is a precious jewel whose value cannot be valued in material terms. Every minute of our life that passes can never come back. These minutes are our capital in this world, with which we can buy whatever we want of the delights of Paradise.
