• Shahada (the profession of faith)

• Salah (prayer)

• Sawm(charity)

• Zakat(fasting)

• Hajj(pilgrimage)

The word of Allah SWT which means: "(After this was explained) did they deliberately not try to understand and think about the contents of the Qur'an? Or was there a lock on their hearts (which prevented them from accepting the teachings of the Qur'an)?" (Surah Muhammad: 24)

This hadith teaches the adab (ethics) of seeking knowledge:

• We should be clean and wear clean clothes.

• We should sit properly and closer to the speaker.

• Asking questions for better understanding.

• Seek knowledge from the right source/authority.

• Belief in Allah. The scholars of Islam have written extensively about this topic as it is the most important thing for a Muslim to know. ...

• Belief in the Angels. ...

• Belief in the Revealed Scriptures. ...

• Belief in the Messengers. ...

• Belief in the Last Day. ...

• Belief in Divine Decree (Al-Qadar)

Therefore, we have to be careful from now on. Have to think about your own safety and be prepared to face it. Don't expect anyone to help us later there. At that time no one asked about their family at that time. We will rely only on our own practice and we will be alone.

Therefore, even in this world we get used to having to sit alone once in a while to remember this matter, before the real thing happens in the afterlife. That is why it is prescribed to practice iktikaf in the mosque during Ramadan for us to remember this matter. Because during the iktikaf we will sit alone, without any contact with our family members and friends. Not busy with the world anymore. It is an exercise for us.

• Faith and Conviction: Muslims reaffirm their faith in Allah and the prophethood of Muhammad, demonstrating their spiritual connection and commitment.

• Spiritual Fulfillment: Regular prayers provide moments of reflection, gratitude, and connection with Allah, fostering spiritual fulfillment.

• Charitable Compassion: Giving alms fosters empathy and compassion, allowing wealth to positively impact others and alleviate suffering.

• Self-Discipline and Devotion: Fasting during Ramadan requires self-discipline, leading to deep devotion to Allah.

• Unity and Community: The pilgrimage to Mecca reinforces the global unity of the Muslim community.

• Prophet Musa (Moses) thought he was the most knowledgeable person on earth. However, Allah instructed him to seek knowledge from one of His righteous slaves, Khidr.

• Khidr’s actions seemed puzzling to Musa, but each had a hidden wisdom. Khidr’s patience and trust in Allah’s plan taught Musa valuable lessons.

• Lesson: Humility and the Quest for Knowledge:

  • Musa was a great prophet, yet he humbly accepted Allah’s command to seek knowledge from Khidr, a mysterious and righteous servant of God.

  • The lesson here is that no matter how knowledgeable or accomplished we are, there is always room to learn and grow. True wisdom lies in recognizing our limitations and seeking guidance from those who possess deeper insights.

 [Sahih Bukhari]

The harsh truth is that we are too "lazy" to do good things when we are "free.

We say we're "busy" when someone takes away our free time.

So we are only fooling ourselves when we say that "Time" is against us. But the truth is that our lazy Nafs are to blame.

Being responsible and not being lazy isn't easy. I understand how painful it is for you. Sure. Here is a du'a to help you stop being lazy and do other good things.
