Keep Your Heart Connected When Engaged With Worldly Life

After morning worship is concluded, how should we best spend our time until midday? Imam al-Ghazali counsels us in four areas of activity from which the person seeking her Lord in all times of the day will benefit the most. 

We are taught about what beneficial knowledge is and what it should do for us, as well as to make sure that we spend our time in the dunya for the sake of the next life.

We also learn about four behaviours in ourselves that we should strive to protect others from and seek to be protected from should they be present in other people.
