Where Are We Heading Towards?

Why do we not even think for a second, how stupid and ignorant we would sound, before uploading some of our meaningless WhatsApp/ Instagram/ Snapchat/ Facebook stories/status?

Is this our “Productivity” level? What are we trying to portray to each other?

With each passing day, we are running far away from the actual purpose of our lives and the concept of our death.

We, as a youth, REALLY need to re-focus on our personalities, re-arrange our priorities/life-goals, and need to make sure we are making the best use of our time! 

For the youth like us,

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

Take benefit of five before five:

Your YOUTH before your old age, 

Your HEALTH before your sickness,

Your WEALTH before your poverty, 

Your FREE TIME BEFORE YOU ARE PRE-OCCUPIED, AND YOUR LIFE BEFORE YOUR DEATH. (Al-Bukhari, 40)

Also mentioned in Quran (Surah 43: Verse 36):
“Whosoever blinds himself from the Remembrance of the Merciful (Allah SWT), We shall assign for him an evil Satan who will be his (ever misleading) companion”

Friendly Tip:

Try to take 30 minutes out each day, to just sit alone with no internet connection and distraction around, and ponder over yourself. Ask some basic questions: What kind of a person you are? What do you want to achieve in life? What if you die tomorrow? Most importantly, what is the concept of Allah SWT in your mind?
