Perhaps some of you know that Sheikh Muhammad Alshareef came out with a DVD set called 'Time Traveler' where he teaches us how to make full use of our time and to even increase it. It's a great program. I got an e-mail from him today and I'll post part of it because I think we can learn from it.
Excuses (regarding worshiping Allah) are the habit of the people of Hellfire.
Allah tells us in the Quran:
67:10 They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!"
Lesson: People who disobey Allah do not always flat out say 'no'. Instead, they make an excuse as to 'why' they can't worship Allah, for this reason or the other. Things like:
a. Eman hasn't entered my heart yet.
b. God is Merciful, and He doesn't need me to worship Him
c. If Allah shows me a personal sign, only then will I believe and follow Him
The bottom line is: No excuse - Worship Allah and do what Allah likes. That is our aim in life.
Implementation:
1. Ask yourself if there is some type of worship you feel you should be doing, but are not doing. Example: praying Sunnah prayers.
2. What is the excuse you give as to why you don't do it? Example: not enough time.
3. Today: just do it. Like, procrastinate procrastination and just do it!
4. At the end of the day, ask yourself, "So how did that feel?"
Tuesday March 16, in sha Allah, he's going to reveal the 2nd biggest excuse ever.
Guess what it is here!
