Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Be Productive Your Time

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
