The Importance of Time Management in Islam DVD
By : Shaykh Abdul Aziz Ibn Baaz SL: 00000
Not hidden to every person of intelligence and every person who has the least level knowledge ad understanding is the importance of time, and the fact that is compulsory to safeguard it, so that is used in a way that is beneficial, and so that one remains protected from harm.
If one cotemplates the Noble Book, the pure Sunnah, sayings of the Companions of the Prophet (PBUH), and the sayings of the scholars who came after them, one will then know the importance of this matter. The Companions of the Prophet (PBUH) and the scholars who came after them strove to safeguard their time. Allah created mankind and jinns only so that He alone can be worshipped, without any partners being associated with Him, and that is through the obedience of His commands, and the avoidance of His prohibitions. And this worship requires knowledge and an understanding of the foundations of worship, its different forms, its detailed aspects, and the proofs that support it.
And there is no way to do any of that except through safeguarding our time. For whoever wastes his time, wastes his life; and consequently, all knowledge will be lost upon him. Allah said His Noble Book: {Not a word does he (or she) utter, but there is a watcherby him ready (to record it)} (50:18) Allah said: {But verily, over you (are appointed angels in charge of mankind) to watch you. They are honorable, and they write down (your deeds). They know all that you do.} (82:10-12) If one has his sayings recorded, and if one has his deeds and sayings written down, then how does it makes sense for one to waste his time? Everything we say is recorded and everything we do is recorded. Everything is kept track of and written down. If that is the case, then it only makes sense for us to safeguard our time, and to not use time in a way that will bring about harm.
