Summary:
1) Allah (s.w.t.) said in the Qur’an:
وَٱلۡعَصۡرِ
إِنَّ ٱلۡإِنسَـٰنَ لَفِی خُسۡرٍ
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِینَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوۡا۟ بِٱلۡحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوۡا۟ بِٱلصَّبۡرِ
Which means: *“By the passage of time!* *Surely humanity is in grave loss*, except for those who have faith, who do good, who urge each other to the truth, and who encourage each other to be steadfast.”
[Al-‘Asr: 1-3]
2) As the saying goes, *time and tide wait for no man*. If we are not careful, time will slip through our fingers, and be lost to us forever. We can never get that time back, and neither can we go back in time.
As believers, we should take full advantage of the time that has been granted to us. Let us not waste that time with useless pursuits, because tomorrow is not guaranteed to us.
3) Let us reflect on Prophet Muhammad’s (s.a.w.) message, and think about how we can embody it in our daily lives.
نِعْمَتَانِ مَغْبُونٌ فِيهِمَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ الصِّحَّةُ وَالْفَرَاغُ
Which means: "There are two blessings that many people waste: good health and free time."
[Hadith narrated by Ibn Majah]
4) Story of *Imam An-Nawawi's life journey
In a day, which has only 24 hours, Imam An-Nawawi was able to attend to 12 different gatherings of knowledge and he was able to produce various religious books that are still used by the Islamic community to this day. May Allah (s.w.t.) reward him immensely
5) Du'a: May we become people who not only make good use of our time, but who also bring benefit to those around us...ameen
