What Allah says about Excuses

Excuses (regarding worshiping Allah) are the habit of the people of Hellfire.

Allah tells us in the Quran:

They will further say: "Had we but listened or used our intelligence, we would not (now) be among the Companions of the Blazing Fire!" [67:10]

Lesson: People who disobey Allah do not always flat out say 'no'. Instead, they make an excuse as to 'why' they can't worship Allah, for this reason or the other. Things like:

  • Eman hasn't entered my heart yet.
  • God is Merciful, and He doesn't need me to worship Him
  • If Allah shows me a personal sign, only then will I believe and follow Him

The bottom line is: No excuse - Worship Allah and do what Allah likes. That is our aim in life.

Implementation:

  1. Ask yourself if there is some type of worship you feel you should be doing, but are not doing. Example: praying Sunnah prayers.
  2. What is the excuse you give as to why you don't do it? Example: not enough time.
  3. Today: just do it. Like, procrastinate procrastination and just do it!
  4. At the end of the day, ask yourself, "So how did that feel?"

p/s: Jazakallah khaer to Sh. Muhammad Alshareef for this reminder.
