There is a Turkish saying: We must kill time. Allah gave time to make it live. It is limited and precious. A group of the Prophet’s companions, the ahl as-suffah, devoted their time purely for Allah. Nowadays people waste time. They complain they are bored. No. They must remember Allah. They must work for Him.

I Was an Unknown Treasure
Jan24 2010 English 47min
Mawlana talks about the nature of an Atom and the Nature of the Lord. Both of them are unknowable. He talks about the Hadith Qudsi in which Allah says, describing Himself, "Kuntu Kanzan Mafiyan" - I was an Unknown Treasure. He talks in some detail about each of these three words. Each atom has a treasure of its own and is alive. How can you ask about Allah when you cannot understand even an atom or yourself.
