This is true.

We are here for a great purpose. Allah has sent us for the purpose of examining us.We have both ends in our lives from which we choose one.Either the good or the bad. Some prefer the good while the others deliberately go against it.

As we are human beings we are not perfect in our deeds. We need to stay away from some things which we think is the best at the time it is chosen, but may hinder our lives and the hereafter.The noble verses of Quran guides us towards what is good and leaves us to learn from the experiences of those who lived in the days of ignorance and those who came afterwards.There are plenty of other pathways having religious knowledge and solutions. Nowadays we find ourselves really lucky to get access to internet and other fast and affordable services as they are very useful,if used for the correct cause.

How many of us want to develop our minds? How many among us want a positive change? We all have twenty four hours for us,everyday.It is obvious that our work vary and the facilities or the resources available will be different too. But we as Muslims,should have one common aim in life.Though it should be as such, we all do not work  towards it. As previously said, it is the sole purpose of this life. It is  the purpose of getting a desirable pass in the test of this world.

Instead of preparing ourselves for the real-life test, a lot of us mingle in those things which are of interest to them, but of no benefits when in is considered in a long-term basis. There are a lot of activities which make us addicts, that gives us pleasure and joy. Some of them do have other strengths as well, like developing our minds and refreshing them. Even though these acts make you stay away from the righteous deeds. We unknowingly make ourselves occupied in these activities and neglect the most important duties of our lives like, praying and reciting Quran. Some of us also spend handful of money on their rather expensive wants than spending for the poor.Our lord, Allah created us and provided with wealth but, some of us are too stingy to spend their money on the way Allah mentioned in the holy Quran. Some among us really own a lot; houses, cars,resorts and many more. How many of them spend a portion of that money on the blessed voyage of pilgrimage? How many of you have heard about rich people who face their death having nothing. There are few of us who  leave empty handed with a short record of deeds. Who else other than Allah know how much sufferings they will experience in their grave and on the day of resurrection.

It is true that we all need refreshing and fun-filled activities to help ourselves feel better. But we need to have certain limitations for them. We need to manage our time in a better way considering the perfect tidings of Prophet Mohammed (PBUH). Let the devil fail in it’s venture and be victorious by persuading yourself towards good deeds. Be strong in will power and yield the crop of this life for the harvest will benefit you in the end.
