how people never appreciate their free time

i've always been there.dats it.no matter how much i'm fed up with it and myself for it i still do it.it's hard when sometimes you cant even do a single simple thing coz you keep delaying it...as if the time you are living will never end..a phrase is just a phrase "time is gold...time is precious"..bla bla bla...na..people will never see it until they lose it..i remember a hadis(if i'm not mistaken,coz i'm pretty forgetful sometimes so pls bear with me) that goes like this.remember 5 things before came upon you 5 things:

>your youth before your old age
>your wealth before your poverty
>your free time before your busy time
> your health before your illness
>your live before your death.

and one of them which is no less important than the others is your free time. how one thing leads to another. you give up your free time for nothing more than doing nothing, it tells enough of how much you don't appreciate your youth, your wealth, your health and your live which is scarcely significant in comparison with the hereafter.hurm are you familiar with the sayings "enjoy your life to the fullest, life is just once" bla bla bla...daaaa...how foolish.how stupid.how lumpy.not even the most preposterous words in the whole world can ever describe our foolishness in this matter...yes the kaafir would think so, as they dont believe in Allah and the hereafter..i remember a lecture from Ustaz Shamsuri about "hamba dunia" which literally means obsession of life(sorry, not a very good translator)..he once mentioned that to the kaafir, life is their paradise as they can do whatever they want, and to the muslims, it is otherwise..but Allah has provinced us His blessing and His grant no matter how difficult it is for us to live our live in this mean world..In His verse "Along with every hardship is relief" (Ash-Sharh:6). yes it sounds very easy and uncomplicated..but that's where the journey begins...to fight the battle within yourself..and i believe regardless of how others see it, thats the greatest victory one would ever achieve..coz then other things become more and more simple to you as only Allah remains the highest goal in your heart, in your soul, in your life, and in the herafter..InshaAllah...Ameen..
