Time management is another topic Time management is obviously quite
a complex topic. But just to give a very brief idea about time
management, time management can only come about if you've got a
value for your time. And your understanding that time will
continue to move on. Even if we don't, even if we stand passively,
for two days, time will move, we will get older, maybe that
additional white or gray hair will will appear, right, even if you
don't do anything, even if you sleep for three days straight,
right time will move you will get older, and that is how much less
time that is how much less time you have until our death. So time
takes no prisoners, right time is basically vicious, it will
basically cut us unless we use time. If we don't use time
productively, it will basically just waste us. So that's why
person has to really understand that as Allah subhanaw taala
mentions in the Quran about about time that this is well acid in the
in Santa Fe hustle, right that by by us or by the time human beings
are in loss, because time is just going to take your it's going to
whether you away, it's going to basically waste you away if you
don't do anything useful. So while we can enjoy ourselves, and while
we can have a good time, but that is just as a relief. That is just
as a relief from the purposeful acts that we want to do. The acts
of objective that we want to do that we want to achieve something
and hopefully leave even a legacy behind. Focus on our next
generation is a big issue. It's a big thing to focus on our
children, and our families, our society, all of these things are a
legacy, any good that we're going to do. And this is tying into some
of the other questions here. Anything good that we're going to
do, there's going to be a benefit of it any help that we give to
somebody, and they've just increased because of that they've
just enhanced themselves because of that we're going to be rewarded
that for that forever. Right. And also a number another thing is
that if they learn from something that we've just done for somebody
else, and they are inspired to do something, and they continue that
tradition, and then somebody else continues that tradition, that
sadaqa jariya, we're going to be benefiting from that. So yes, we
can enjoy ourselves, we can, you know, have a party, we can have
different types of recreation, but those must be what we do, to
basically take away the mundaneness or the UK, you can say
the just the incessant consecutive drill of everyday work. Otherwise,
our real work needs to be something that we are fulfilling
our responsibilities that will you know, it should be the fulfillment
of our responsibilities. Right. So that's really what it is, then if
you understand that you will manage your time. Some people are
naturally procrastinators. They've done some studies recently about
part of the brain being like that, that that's what makes certain
people procrastinate, they want to do the work, but they just can't.
They want to do it, but they just delay until the last minute. For
that you just need to get a you need to maybe get some self help
help books about these kinds of things. And understand that at the
end of the day time is not going to stand still, you'd rather be
more comfortable in getting something done earlier than to
rush at it in last week and last last minute and do a half baked
job. Right? So a person needs to think about all of these things,
and can constantly ask Allah subhanaw taala to give blessing in
time, what I found to be the most useful as was suggested and advice
to me by some of my teachers when I had this problem, I mean, I
still have the problem that you don't have enough time. When you
want to do so much. You're just not going to have enough time.
Right? But we're here we're talking about time management is
that in sha Allah if you do some vicar a day, right and you give
your time to Allah, then Allah subhana wa Taala will facilitate
for you a lot. He'll give you baraka and blessing in everything
else that you do because you're giving time to him. When you give
time to Allah, Allah will give you your time. Otherwise your time
will just go in on YouTube or anywhere else and be wasting it.
So sit down and do some mistake far do some judiciary, do some
third Kadima as we call it
and spend some time doing that every day for you know regularly
and inshallah Allah subhanaw taala will will make ease
