Procrastination Steals Barakah
- Procrastination (at-taswif) is framed in the Qur'an as 'sawfa' meaning an endless postponement that steals barakah.
- Barakah lets you do more with less, and delaying righteous acts gradually siphons that blessing away.
The Quran Commands Rushing To Good
- Allah commands urgency: وَسَارِعُوا مُسَارَعَةً — literally rush toward good deeds rather than merely delaying them.
- Imam al-Qurtubi explains this as prioritizing and expediting every available opportunity for righteousness.
Compete And Rush To Do Good
- Compete in doing good: فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِ invites using motivating drives to prioritize righteous action.
- Ibn Kathir instructs to 'rush' and 'be in a hurry' to seize moral opportunities immediately.
