Regular devotions

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
السلام عليكم


You must fill up your time with acts of worship so that no period of time elapses, whether by night or by day, without being used in some act of goodness. This is how baraka (blessings) within time is made manifest, the purpose of life fulfilled, and the approach of God the Exalted made constant. You should allocate specific periods of time for your habitual activities such as eating, drinking, and working for livelihood. Know that no state can be sound in the presence of neglect, and no wealth useful in the presence of heedlessness.

You should structure your time, arrange your regular devotions (awrad), and assign to each function a set period of time during which it is given first priority but which it does not overstep. Imam al-Ghazali

Whoever has no wird (regular devotion) is a qird (monkey).

May Allah bless your time. Tawfiq is from Allah. Ameen.
