REPEL BOREDOM FROM YOUR LIFE



One who lives a life of repetition and routine will almost inevitably become a victim of boredom, especially since man by his very nature tires from a lack of change.

You should contemplate the many forms of worship that are legislated in Islam. There are deeds of the heart, of the tongue, of the limbs and of wealth  by spending it for a good cause.  The prayer, alms giving, fasting, pilgrimages to Makkah, fighting in the way of Allah - these are only some examples of worship.  The prayer involves standing, bowing, prostrating, and sitting.  If you desire relaxation, vitality  and continued productivity, then bring diversity into your work, your reading, and your daily life. In terms of reading for example, read a broad range of topics: the Qur'an, its explanation, the biography of the Prophet (Blessings and Peace be upon him) and his Companions, hadith, Islamic jurisprudence, history, literature, books of general knowledge and so forth.  Distribute  your time between worship and enjoying what is lawful, from visiting friends, entertaining guests, playing sports, or going on excursions: you will find yourself to  be a lively and bright person,  because the soul delights in variety and things that are new.
