What do we, as Muslims, do with our time? Do we make use of every second? Time, the Sunnah tells us, is the most precious of all worldly commodities, for once it’s gone, it never comes back. We need, then, to ensure we don’t let it pass in vain. We should make certain that when we stand before Allah for judgment we can justify how we spent His priceless gift.

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: “Take advantage of five, before five! Youth before old age. Good health before sickness. Free time before occupation. Wealth before poverty. And life before death.” (Al-Hakim).

In the fast-paced societies we live in, people really do come to feel they have no time. They are working, studying, chauffeuring children, doing business on the cell between errands - running a gauntlet of daily obligations.

Time itself seems to be shrinking. According to the Prophet(pbuh): Days become weeks. Weeks, months. Months, years. Before you know it, a decade’s got behind you. And you wonder, What have I done with my life?

hmmn! thank u for this reminder. about a week ago, I saw the picture of an eight months old baby. the last time I saw her was a few weeks after her birth. She now looks very beautiful and could sit and play . I started to think of how much had happened since I saw her. she'd raised her head, learnt to sit with support, without support, to recognise faces, to smile at people, etc. then, I started to think of what I had achieved in the last six months. It moved me.

may Allah forgive us o! and help us to spend our time well.
