Avoiding the useless

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | July 19, 2020

The Quran advocates a purposeful life. It exhorts people not to indulge in useless talk or useless activity. On this subject there is a particularly apt verse in the Chapter Al-Muminun (The Believers) of the Quran:

“Successful indeed are the believers, those who are humble in their prayer; and those who turn away from everything vain.” (23: 1-3)
