Each of us has a Bank called “T I M E”
Surah Al ‘Asr (Time Through The Ages)
[103:001] By Al-’Asr (the time).
[103:002] Verily, man is in loss,
[103:003] Except those who believe (in Islâmic Monotheism) and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth [i.e. order one another to perform all kinds of good deeds (Al-Ma'rûf) which Allâh has ordained, and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds (Al-Munkar) which Allâh has forbidden], and recommend one another to patience (for the sufferings, harms, and injuries which one may encounter in Allâh’s Cause during preaching His religion of Islâmic Monotheism or Jihâd).

There is a Bank that credits your account each morning with $86,400.
It carries over no balance from day to day.very evening deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to use during the day.
What would you do?
Draw out ALL of it, of course!!!!
Each of us has such a Bank.
Its name is TIME.
Every morning,
it credits you with 86,400 seconds.
Every night it writes off, as lost,
whatever of this you have failed
to invest to good purpose.
It carries over no balance.
It allows no overdraft.
Each day it opens a new account for you.
Each night it burns the remains of the day.
If you fail to use the day’s deposits,
the loss is yours.
There is no going back.
There is no drawing against the “tomorrow.”
You must live in the present on today’s deposits.
Invest it carefully with wisdom and knowledge.
Use your Time to pray sincerely and do good and charity;
To faithfully practice the Five Pillars and perfect your Deen.
To remember to thank Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala for everything;
To adhere to the commandments of the Holy Qur’aan
and the teachings of the Sunnah of the
Prophet Sall Allaahu alayhi wa sallam.
In order that you may benefit the utmost in
blessings and guidance in your life living with
strength of eemaan and taqwaa ~
Seeking only the Pleasure of Allaah Ta’aala
for the sake of your Hereafter.
The clock is running.
Make the most of each day.
Start working on your
‘Time’
We should not neglect our Time or use it haphazardly; on the contrary we should bring ourselves to account, structure our litanies and other practices during each day and night, and assign to each period a fixed and specific function for self-development in our Deen and maximise its potential. The better route towards self-development is, of course, to integrate all our efforts into a structured daily life.
Ibn Abbas narrated that Prophet Mohammad (Sallalaahu Alaihi wa Sallam) said:
“There are two blessings which many people lose: (They are) health and free time for doing good.” (Bukhari 8/421)
