Ten Useless Assets
1. Knowledge that is not acted upon.
2. Deeds that have
no sincerity or is not based on following the righteous examples
of others.
3. Money that is
hoarded, as the owner neither enjoys it during this life nor
obtains any reward for it in the Hereafter.
4. The heart that
is empty of love and longing for Allah, and of seeking closeness
to Him.
5. A body that
does not obey and serve Allah.
6. Love of Allah
without following His orders or seeking His pleasure.
7. Time that is
not spent in expiating sins or seizing opportunities to do good.
8. A mind that
thinks about useless matters.
9. Service to
those who do not bring you closer to Allah, nor benefit you in
your life.
10. Hope and fear of whoever is under the authority of Allah and in His hand; while he cannot bring any benefit or harm to himself, nor death, nor life; nor can he resurrect himself.
