Assalamualaikum. I thought the 5th trap would be makruh,but wasting time also makes sense. I don’t think it matters much, it’s something subtle. Generally, I liked this post!I thought this was a new post, but considering the date, its not. Maybe the staff has noticed, but I think it’s because some of these posts that are in series don’t contain the later posts in that table-of-content-like list provided above every post. For example, this post “Part XXIV” looks like the last post yet there’s another post after it “Part XXV:The Lesser of Two Good Deeds” which isn’t listed here. One has to find it somehow, randomly.Now, I don’t even know whether or not there’s a post after Part XXV. I hope the staff takes this into consideration. And Jazzakallah Khairan!

I have mistaken…not an average lifespan. A lifespan of 60.

Assalamu Alaikum,

Thank you very much for the article. I just wanted to comment on the fact of wasting time. Most of us have heard that one must get at least 8-9 hours of sleep every day. If you calculate that….8 hrs a day of sleep is 1/3 of your day and in an average lifespan that is 20 years of your life. Subhannallah! We need to wake up! Literally and mentally!Instead of sleeping we could be doing qiyam-layl and making dhikr to Allah as much as we can. We are the Ummah of the Prophet{peace be upon him} and we need to spread the message of Islam. Yet how can we do that if we as an Ummah are still asleep in our own world of wasteful things that suck our daily lives. This message first and foremost goes towards me and may Allah bless this Ummah and its followers. Ameen.

These ills of society that Suhaib Webb mentions in his article remind me of the phrase ‘Babylon revisited’ yet there are many verses of The Qur’an that assure us that Allah,swt, wastes no time in toppling such cities and such uncaring regimes. Now I am not entitled in any to pick and choose those whom I would earmark for such toppling,for fire & brimstone, for judgement is such a global wide world issue, but I do think that the phrase we use here in England, is appropriate here, like the Prophet’s hadith (pbuh)concerning the fire made of a collection of little twigs, once that wedge is driven in my oh my it doesn’t pull out so easily does it>One cannot tap backwards,for the wedge’s thin end is now enclosed.Yes someone may respond that one can at least tap sideways to remove the wedge as is recommended in workshop manuals or even reverse the vehicle if the wedges have been used sensibly after lowering a truck from the jack. Also in England we have a famous poem by William Blake in his ‘Songs of Innocence & Experience’ It says in part….’I was angry with my friend, I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe. I told it not, my wrath did grow & it bore an apple bright, which I watered with delight…..etc’
It has made a bucketful of trouble hasn’t it from a succession of small drops?We should pray to do ourselves justice in small things I think.Asallam Aleykum.Peace be with us all.

Mashallah great article,waste of time is surely a tremendous loss. Our life is just 60-80 years,thats it,and almost more than one third of it passes in sleep mode, so we should make the most out of the rest,because in Jannah (paradise) there is no worshipping or daily fatigues,just party time.

And examples of GTA vice city,tomb raider and other games like doom and others containg gore and violence should be a big no no. Wallahi its so disturbibg when i saw the GTA guy kicking another person on his face and mouth,and turning him black n blue, and if u see it practically,mostly the fights in European and western countries (not being racist) guys just seem to go crazy and hit at every spot of body and specially lying the opponebt on ground and kicking sqaure on face and belly is a must.

Whores and prostitutes are also a very sorry incident,they should be treated as victims and not criminals. my heart cries for them,since more than 95% when surveyed said that they want to leave it immediately, but their abusive husbands,poverty,empty tummys and children force them to do so. And none of them enjoyed it,having sex with some stranger who does nt care about them

and they hated their customners the most whom they think are losers and cheaters. There is no manhood in it as most of people think.

Its heart wrenching, we should pray for them,and help them too by all means possible.

We are ummah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) we should be role modles,leaders and mercy for humanity and problem solver,and not problem creator.
