A reflection on avoiding idleness in Islam
Assalamu alaikum! From what I understand, Allah dislikes laziness and inactivity. I remember a hadith that says Allah dislikes yawning but loves coughing because yawning can represent laziness while coughing wakes you up. There’s also another teaching where a poor person was advised to cut firewood to sell instead of begging, showing the importance of contributing to society. This came to my mind since it’s summer now, and I feel I’ve had enough rest and should start striving for something meaningful. It’s challenging though, especially with how tough the internship market is here in Canada. May Allah make it easy for all of us seeking halal rizq.
