Does the way I spend my time reflect what I truly value?

The words attributed to ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه remind us:
“I hate to see a man walking idly, occupying himself neither with the matters of his Dunyā nor with the matters of his Ākhirah.”
But purposeful living is not about being busy every minute.
It is about giving every responsibility its rightful place.
1️⃣ GIVE ALLAH HIS RIGHT
Don't postpone your Ākhirah until retirement or “when life becomes easier.”
Make Ṣalāh, Qur'an, Dhikr and good deeds part of your life now.
2️⃣ GIVE YOUR FAMILY & BODY THEIR RIGHT
Your family needs more than your income—they need your presence.
Your body is an Amānah—look after it so that you can continue to worship Allah and serve others.
As Salmān رضي الله عنه reminded Abū al-Dardāʾ رضي الله عنه:
“Your Lord has a right over you, your body has a right over you, and your family has a right over you.”
3️⃣ GIVE OTHERS SOMETHING FROM YOUR LIFE
A meaningful life is not measured only by what you accumulate, but by what you give.
Teach someone.
Help someone.
Visit someone.
Support someone.
Leave behind something beneficial.
⏳ DON'T JUST FILL YOUR DAYS. FILL YOUR LIFE WITH PURPOSE.
And tonight, ask yourself:
Does the way I spend my time reflect what I truly value?
If these words made you think of someone who could benefit from this reminder, send it to them.
Perhaps Allah will make these few words a means of benefit for both of you. 🤲

Summary of pre-khutba talk delivered at Vereeniging Masjid:

⏳ PICTURE THIS…

One day, you will be lying in your grave.

The phone you couldn't put down will be gone.
The money you spent your life chasing will be gone.
The house you worked so hard to build will be behind you.

And you will wish for just one more hour.

One more Ṣalāh.
One more سجدة.
One more page of Qur’an.
One more opportunity to give.
One more chance to do something that truly mattered.

But there will be no more hours.

Because the time we waste today is the time we may desperately wish for tomorrow.

Perhaps this is why ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb رضي الله عنه was reported to have said:

«“I hate to see a man walking idly, occupying himself neither with the matters of his Dunyā nor with the matters of his Ākhirah.”»

ʿUmar رضي الله عنه understood something we often forget:

**Life is not about simply being busy.

It is about being purposeful.**

Ask yourself today:

What am I doing with the life Allah has given me?

1️⃣ BUILD YOUR DUNYĀ
Work. Learn. Provide. Develop yourself. Care for your family.

2️⃣ BUILD YOUR ĀKHIRAH
Pray. Read Qur’an. Make Dhikr. Give Ṣadaqah. Repent. Prepare to meet Allah.

3️⃣ MAKE YOUR LIFE BENEFICIAL
Who is better because you are here?

⏳ Yesterday is gone.
⏳ Tomorrow is not promised.
🤲 Today is still in your hands.

Don't merely consume your time. INVEST IT.

Don't simply grow older.

GROW CLOSER TO ALLAH.

---

Maybe someone came to mind while you were reading this.

A friend.
A brother.
A family member.
Someone who has been feeling stuck.
Or perhaps someone who simply needs this reminder today.

Send it to them.

Sometimes a few words arrive at exactly the right moment.

May Allah make our time purposeful, our deeds sincere, and our lives beneficial to others. 🤲

Building a Strong South African Muslim Identity

🌱 A Camp of Faith, Brotherhood & Purpose

What a truly productive and memorable three days at the Al Tawheed Foundation Youth Camp. 🏕️💚

We brought young boys together from townships and communities across South Africa, including different provinces, for an experience designed to take them away from the distractions and pressures of everyday life and bring them closer to Allah, knowledge and one another.

For three days, the boys slept in the masjid, worshipped Allah, learned from the Ulama, took part in sports and activities, built friendships and strengthened their brotherhood. 🤝🏽

From powerful reminders and advice to teamwork, recreation, learning and worship the camp was about building character, strengthening faith and giving our youth a positive environment to grow.

This is more than just a camp.

It is an investment in the next generation of young Muslim men. 🌱

Faith. Knowledge. Character. Brotherhood.
