TODAY'S WORK
Tarikatun es sohbe vel hayru fi cemiyya.
He says do not leave today's work for tomorrow.
This is the secret of success.
Now people leave everything for later saying they will do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow has as much duties as today.
They are leaving duties of tomorrow for other days.
They always procrastinate saying they will do it later.
While a little work becomes like a mountain. Then they can never do it and it is left.
Then they complain, "We could not do this and we could not do that."
This happens because of people's laziness.
Work gets late then they complain.
When in fact Allah has not given anybody a burden they cannot handle.
Every day has a duty so everybody can do it.
Allah Azza wa Jalla did not create you to lay down.
Take care of that duty of yours and do not leave it for the next day,
otherwise it accumulates as debt. It is not good to stay indebted.
Some people like staying in debt and do not care.
But that weight, even if they do not feel it, ride on them and crush them.
That is whenever there is something to be done, getting it done immediately makes a person relieved.
This applies to everybody.
It is the same for little children as it is for grown ups.
This needs to be taught to people from an early age.
When they come home, it is best to do what the teacher taught in the morning:
assignments, homeworks, and whatever and be relieved.
Otherwise, as people say, "I will do it later. I will do it later," they get used to it.
They would go like that till the end of their lives and roam around without doing anything.
At the end, if they believe in Allah, Allah would forgive them
but they will have sufferred themselves throughout their lives.
The other way, they would spend their life comfortably.
People feel a relief, a comfort, after accomplishing every task.
Children have all started school now.
Their families need to pay attention to this matter.
Because it is said that "a tree is bent when it is moist."
If children are trained well, they continue well throughout life.
If they do as they do themselves, they would also continue the same way.
Wa Minallah at-Tawfeeq. Al-Fatiha.
