Assalamualaikum wrt wbt (Peace Be Upon You)
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
I went for a lecture conducted by a famous politician in Malaysia Ustaz Tuan Ibrahim Tuan Man last week. He discussed one hadith that was really made me interested. As i don't have the book that he discussed every tuesday's night, i don't really grasp every words uttered, especially the 'matan' hadith.
But the very words that grasp my attention is a part of the hadith's translation. "Those who have free time/leisure time, and yet he didn't remember Allah (zikruAllah), he'd been 'reduced' (fitratun)..". He did discussed a lot on the word fitratun or literally translated in English as 'reduced'. He said that we have our own lifetimes, and these times shorten each and every seconds. It's a waste not to remember Allah (zikruAllah) when you have the free or leisure time, as we cannot turn the time back.
I don't wanna regret later at The Day of Judgement, when i don't have enough 'savings'. So, writing here is one of the ways for me to remember Allah. May Allah count my effort as a good deed.
