The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encouraged us to free our time for worship and to turn to Allah Almighty, and discouraged from being concerned with the world and being consumed by it.
See these Ahadeeth:
- “Your Lord Almighty said: ‘Son of Adam, be free for My worship. I will fill your heart with richness and fill your hands with provision. Son of Adam, do not distance yourself from Me, or else I will fill your heart with poverty and fill your hands with worthless distractions’.” [al-Mu’jam al-Kabīr 500, Grade: Sahih]
- "Allah Almighty said: ‘O son of Adam, be free for My worship and I will fill your heart with riches and alleviate your poverty. If you do not do so, I will fill your hands with problems and never alleviate your poverty’.” [Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2466, Grade: Sahih]
- "Whoever is concerned about the world, Allah will disorder his affairs, make poverty appear before his eyes, he will not get anything from the world but what has been decreed for him. Whoever is concerned about the Hereafter, Allah will settle his affairs, make him content in his heart, the world will come to him although he is reluctant for it.” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 4105, Grade: Sahih , Similar hadith in Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2465]
- "Whoever focuses on only one concern, the afterlife, Allah will be enough for his concerns in the world. Whoever scatters his concerns among the matters of the world, it does not matter to Allah in which valley he meets his demise.” [Sunan Ibn Mājah 4106, Grade: Hasan]
May Allah give us Tawfeeq to set our priorities right. Aameen.
