Barakah is in the Present Moment Don’t Procrastinate

Barakah is in the Present Moment Don’t Procrastinate

Ibn Ata’illah reminds us in his Hikam: “Do not postpone your works hoping for a free time, for you are more forgetful in free time than you are in busy time.” The lesson here is profound—waiting for the “perfect time” to do acts of worship, seek knowledge, or fulfill responsibilities is a trap of the nafs. When we are busy, we often maintain structure and discipline, but in times of ease, we tend to become more heedless and distracted. Barakah lies in beginning now, not in delaying for an imagined future of ideal circumstances. True spiritual growth comes from acting with consistency, regardless of our worldly schedule.

The Final 10 Nights of Ramadhan have begun—the nights in which Laylatul Qadr awaits, a night better than a thousand months. But Ramadhan is more than personal worship—it is about reviving our Ummah. Our identity as Muslims is built on faith, responsibility, and action. This divine responsibility isn’t just about personal piety—it’s about sustaining the legacy of knowledge, scholars, and guidance for the generations to come.

This is the best time to give when rewards are beyond measure.
