Suhaib Webb – The Art of Prioritization Finding Focus and Success in Life

And one of the signs of those people

who are close to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala

that we learned from our teachers is that

they have priorities.

That's why Sheikh Ahmed Zuruq, he says,

which means

that giving priority to what demands it over

what secondary importance is the way of the

seekers of Allah.

And if you think about it, especially when

you're young,

you are being assailed with weapons of mass

distraction.

And if you're old

and what happens, we end up wasting so

much time on

things that are not important.

So being a good listener is a way

to center ourselves and pay attention

to what Allah is saying, what the prophet

is saying,

what our teachers are saying, what our family

is saying, what our friends are saying.
