Method of valuing time

Dear Islamic brothers! We have just been privileged to hear about time-wasting activities and the sayings of those who recognized the value of time. Listening to them would have increased our passion to value time. In order to make our passion firm, let us listen to some of the methods that by the virtue of acting upon them we can attain steadfastness over using our time in the correct manner.

14 ways of using time in a correct manner

1. Abstain from the unnecessary use of mobile phone and internet. Use simple and inexpensive mobile phone if necessary.

2. Try to get into the habit of having conversation in writing as much as possible. Otherwise, have conversation in as minimum words as possible.

3. In order to increase the passion of valuing time, keep yourself busy in virtuous acts as much as possible and plan a Jadwal [schedule] for the whole day which should not contain useless and time-wasting activities.

4. If possible, wake up early in the morning and perform Tahajjud Salah.

5. Call out Sada-e-Madinah to wake up family members and others for Fajr Salah.
