Topic: “The Two Blessings Most People Take for Granted: Health & Free Time” Based on the sermon of the Prophet ﷺ and the understanding of the Salaf First Khutbah الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ، وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَسَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ، وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ
A person will be asked on the Day of Resurrection about four things, among them: “How he spent his life, and how he used his youth, and from where he earned his wealth and how he spent it, and what he did with his knowledge.” (Tirmidhī, authentic)
I advise you and myself to have taqwā of Allah—consciousness and fear of Him in secret and public. Allah says: “O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].” (Āl ‘Imrān 3:102) Indeed, the most truthful speech is the Book of Allah, and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad ﷺ. The worst of affairs are the newly invented matters (in religion), for every innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance leads to the Fire.
Make a small change today. Commit to 15 minutes of Qur’an after Fajr. Commit to attending a study circle ( ḥalaqah ) or listening to a lecture by the scholars of Sunnah—those who follow the way of the Companions, not the people of innovation.
After health, Allah gives you empty hours. The modern world fills them with phones, entertainment, and idle talk. Yet the Prophet ﷺ said: “Do not curse time (al-dahr), for Allah is the one who brings time.” (Muslim) That is, Allah is the controller of time. So do not waste it. Use your free time for reciting Qur’an, seeking knowledge, remembering Allah ( dhikr ), serving your parents, and calling to good.
