*Haven't you Heard?*
[[------ Part One ------]]--------------------------------
بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم
Haven't you heard that Android phones now give you the total number of hours you spent on every Application installed in your phone? It's true and this a call for us to watch all our actions in this world, for Angels are recording everything.
Today,
Screen time addiction is a growing concern for many families today. Yes. While we worry about the amount of time our children spend on TVs, there is an often-overlooked aspect: Our own screen habits. Yes. Children are keen observers and excellent imitators. They learn behaviours by watching the adults around them. If parents are always on their phones (especially jumping from one forbidden site to the other), children will want to do the same. This sets a precedent that bad screen time is acceptable and even desirable. Therefore, It’s crucial for parents to be mindful of their habits and the example they are setting.
My people!
Allah (swt) will question us on anything and everything we do with our phones because it's part a pleasure given to man. In Quran chapter 102 verse 8, Allah (swt) say:
ثُمَّ لَـتُسۡـئَـلُنَّ يَوۡمَـئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيۡمِ
"Then, on that Day, you will be called to account for all the bounties you enjoyed."
The above sentence does not mean that accountability will be held after the culprits have been cast into Hell, but it means: Then We give you the news that you will be questioned about these comforts of life, and obviously this questioning will be held at the time of accountability in the divine court
Some of these favors and bounties we are enjoying are explicitly mentioned elsewhere in the Qur'an:
إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا
(...Surely, the ear, the eye and the heart - each one of them shall be interrogated about.) 📚[ 17:36]
These organs and their faculties comprehend millions of blessings of Allah, and man will be questioned as to how he used them every moment of his life.
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is reported to have said that first question that will be put by Allah to every person is: "Did I not give you good health, and did I not give you cold water to quench your thirst?" (Tirmidhi, and Ibn Hibban, with rating as sahib, from Abu Hurairah, as quoted by Ibn Kathir)
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) is also reported to have said that no man will be able to move from his place unless he answers five questions: [ 1] How did he spend his life? [ 2] In what pursuits did he expend his youthful energy? [ 3] How did he earn his wealth - (by lawful means or unlawful means?) [ 4] Where did he spend his wealth - (in lawful ways or unlawful ways?) and [ 5] Did he act upon the knowledge Allah gave him? 📚(Bukhari).
Mujahid (رح) ، the leading authority on Tafsir, says that this question on the Day of Judgment relates to every delight of the world that he enjoyed - whether it is in connection with food, clothes, house, wife, children, kingdom, government or honor. Qurtubi, having cited this, concludes that this is absolutely true, because the question does not specify any particular blessing.
سبحانك اللهم وبحمدك نشهد ان لا اله الا انت نستغفرك ونتوابوااليك
