THE MEANING OF WASTING

Wasting is considered a deed of Ash-Shaytan
Deeds prohibited and forbidden by God
Wasting has a range of meanings
Let us live carefully so to protect ourselves from wasting
Wasting is not merely like wasting water during ablutions or during
the obligatory bath or normal cleansing
This is a minimal type of waste, if it happens
There are bigger types of wastage in our lives, if we were to
understand
Extravagant spending, whether for yourself or for your family's
needs is a waste and should not be done
Owning surplus vehicles for personal use and not for the Islamic
struggle is forbidden
A house too big for its occupants is a waste
Anything extra we have is meant for others in need but has been
chanelled through us by God
It is meant as a test for us, to see if we able to distribute to
those who need it
God wants us to beautify ourselves, as long as we are not overdoing it
Once overdone, it is no more beauty but a waste
Waste is not limited to wealth, household provisions or clothes
It is a waste when time and energy are used up unproductively
Purposeless use of time and energy considered as waste
Energy used for destructive purposes is considered as waste with
adverse side effects
Unutilised or stored energy unused for good deeds is still a waste
An example being a couch potato or walking around with no specific
objectives, chit-chatting, wasting time aimlessly
This attitude contributes to two types of waste
Waste of valuable energy and time that can be used for better things
Including the waste of that energy and time lazying around and
having enjoyment with no good intentions
Knowledge could be a waste as well
Knowledge unpractised merely for pride
Knowldge used for debates and bickering but unpractised
Unpractised knowledge is a waste
When used for heated debates it's creating discord
Knowledge becomes hazardous, disharmony caused by its misuse
Here it can be understood, there are various ways of waste
Not simply related to money or wealth
Many factors can be considered waste, friends of Ash-Shaytan
Please take note, to avoid God's wrath

THE WORLD AND ITS CONTENTS ARE WORTHLESS TO GOD

In God's view, the world and its contents
By contents, this means its treasures
That which is in the sky, on the earth,
In mountains, in the oceans
In its rivers
And that which is in the belly of the earth
The diamonds, the trees, the fishes
The water and oil and everything that's precious
Valuables of the earth
Including also rank and status
Even powers, having followers and all types of luxury
Including greatness
All of these in God's eyes is worth no more than a mosquito's wing
That is why the beloved of God
Such as the Prophets and the Messengers
Although they strive for a long time
God did not give them worldly pleasures
Such as powers, diamonds
Wealth, worldly treasures
Food and drink, clothing and transportation
Because to God, those would not be fitting gifts for those He loves
That is why in this world, those loved by God have a difficult lives
Because if God does grant them reward in this world, the reward
would not last for long
It is also worthless before the sight of God
That is the reason God keep the rewards for them in the Hereafter
Because God's rewards in the Hereafter
Are priceless
Not only are they eternal, their wonder is incomparable
That is the reason why luxury, wealth, richness
and comfortable living, name and glamour
are given by God to His enemies
Because it is worth to God as no more than one wing of a mosquito
That is why luxury of this world
God gives it to those in power
To kings, the wealthy
So that in the Hereafter they will be poor
And live forever in the torment of Hell
The unspeakable torment
That is why when God despises someone, they are given more of this
world
And if God loves someone
The worldly things are taken from them but they gain more in the
Hereafter
That is the way God loves someone
That is why when someone has everything in this life, power and
wealth
Name and glamour and other luxuries
Do not be proud
Maybe that person is in God's wrath
There are the beloved of God, such as the messengers
Whom God gave power and wealth
So to be the example to people who are rich and powerful
So they may follow their footsteps
If not, there would not be an example to do good
Such as God wants
That is a mercy from God for the salvation of mankind
But that is not God's reward to those He loves
His rewards to His beloveds will be in the Hereafter
Which is incomprehensible and incomparable

A TRUE LEADER IS THE CONNECTION TO GOD

True leaders are the connection between servants and God
When there is no leader, then there is no connection to God, Creator
of Universe
Everbody needs a link to God
Even if one were a Muslim scholar, to lead oneself may not reach God
The important reason for having God's messengers and prophets
And the necessity of scholars with attributes of messengers and
prophets
To lead mankind towards connecting with God
Refusing to be led, walking alone, one may not find God
Even with right intention and trying to reach Him
As the path towards God is invisible
It needs guidance from a knowledgeable leader who has a pure soul
As a true leader his thoughts are guided
His clean soul is conducive for inspiration
Those who refuse to be led
will fail to find God
As it has been tradition throughout the ages, there is a leader
Do not assume that you can find God without a leader
For your leader will be satan
Satan's guidance will lead you astray
Thus, please remember
Everyone needs a leader
So that all his efforts will reach God
