What should our daily schedule look like?
Dear Islamic brothers! It is a reality that every breath of ours is precious. Every single moment is priceless. The wise person is the one who spends his day and night with extreme caution whilst performing good deeds. May Allah Almighty grant us concern for the Hereafter.
