Service is an honour. Sadaqa (charity) is not simply about wealth, but we’ve reduced it to an experience with credit cards. Our focus should be on efforts not results. Results are aspirational, but it is in our efforts that we experience mercy and justice of Allah. We are supposed to be people of sacrifice not expectation. Time shouldn’t be in something that we checklist, we should have presence of mind when we act. We should avoid ABC (Activist Burnout Syndrome). We need to walk the walk rather than talk the talk. Don’t be people who are donkeys with a bunch of books on their back. Don’t be mediocre Muslims. It is important to have a certitude of abundance rather than an attitude of poverty.
