The ruling on a Muslim being preoccupied from the remembrance of Allah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner sent his question, saying: It often happens that some times or hours pass by me in which I do not remember Allah because I am preoccupied, whether with work or otherwise. He says: Do these times count as wasted times? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
Yes, this is something that happens due to heedlessness, preoccupation, and not keeping the righteous deed in mind. So the Muslim should always, while he is in his preoccupation, in his work, and in his toil and labor, remember Allah (Mighty and Majestic), glorify Him, and declare His greatness. This is something that does not burden him with anything, and it is a great and beneficial thing. Yes.
