Not just the same physical space, but the same mental space.

Doing nothing, achieving nothing.

You feel awful.

You hate yourself for wasting all this time given to you.

You could have read volumes of book.

You could have learned things, done things, changed things.

But you didn't, and you hate yourself for it.

Stop.

Please stop.

Play the Quran on your phone.

Just lie down and listen.

You get rewards for every single word, did you know?

Play that surah on loop.

Keep listening to it.

Again and again and again.

While you eat.

While you make yourself a cup of tea.

While you sketch down your thoughts in your sketchbook.

While you fall asleep.

Before you know it, you will know it by heart.

You'll be reciting new ayahs in your salah.

You'll feel happier than you thought was possible.

Listen to that lecture you saved on youtube.

Watch that playlist you kept off for lazier days.

Open that tafsir you've been wanting to read.

Read that book you bought with so much excitement.

Read a line. It will lead you to the next.

Just give it a chance.

Take your time, but give it a chance.

Let your mind learn new things.

The one who seeks knowledge is the luckiest of slaves.

His rank is higher than most.

Angels pray for him when he sleeps.

Everything in the heavens and the earth seeks forgiveness for him.

His rewards stretch beyond time and space.

The one who seeks knowledge

Is making the best use of time.

The one who seeks knowledge

Will never be let down.

The one who seeks knowledge

Is seeking Allah

And one who seeks Allah
