Stop The Clock

Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

Sorry, we can't stop the clock. We can be overwhelmed with so many things to do while time flies. How do you keep up? Easy--respect the time.

Write things down and get them out of your head. Every night before you go to bed, write down all the things you need to do the next day, in order of priority. Have a notebook handy during the day. Every time a task pops up, write it down. This way you don't have to constantly think about it or trying to remember it. And you free your mind to do soothing things -- reflecting on Allah's beautiful creation. You will take out the stress of the day and become more productive.

Remember, in the Day of Judgment, we will be asked about every moment we spent in this world.

Allah Almighty says,

وَٱلْعَصْرِ ﴿١﴾ إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ ﴿٢﴾ إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ ﴿٣

By time, (1) Indeed, mankind is in loss, (2) Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience. (3)

[Qur'an Al-'Asr 103]

The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, said:

Take advantage of five matters before five other matters: your youth, before you become old; and your health, before you fall sick; and your richness, before you become poor; and your free time before you become busy; and your life, before your death.

[Hakim]

So choose the tasks that would bring you most benefit in your next life.

May Allah bless our time and increase us in good works. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
