Time Keeping

One of the most important points in the Golden Rule for living a better life in the world is time constraint. Whether it is personal training or high performance in life, the right use of time is essential for the development journey. We must keep working from our work and not waste time on wasteful things. Timely handling of every task is such a wonderful thing that makes a human being successful in every field of life.

Time is a very valuable asset and the secret to getting the best out of it is to do it in a fully organized and integrated way and time keeping is the golden principle on which personal development, progress and prosperity of the human personality is based.

Time keeping is an absolute fact that by adopting it, one can achieve the highest goals and be the most successful in the most important matters.

Performing work on time is an attractive habit that opens the door to victory. There are countless benefits to time restriction. The best planning of the time can give a man significant achievements in all walks of life. If this virtue is brought to maturity and stability, then the path to achieve extraordinary achievements in life is paved.

Time is actually life. Because from the time of his birth to the last breath, whatever is written in the destiny of man is his life. We must value time and focus on our education and take time to learn, so that we may not be left behind in time.

Every job has a time and it is useful to do it at the same time. There is a time when man can get education so that his future can be bright. In the meantime, time spent on activities other than education can be very expensive.

Restriction of time is necessary to be adopted in childhood. Bad habits that fall into adolescence continue to grow and do not give up until death, therefore, good habits must be established in childhood. It is a good and useful habit to do all the work on time, so it must be firmly established early in life so that all life will pass on with ease. Success steps will kiss. Sleeping on time, waking up on time, eating timely, sitting on time, playing on time should do everything at the right time.

If we look at the Allah’s universe, we will see that everything here is done at a specified time. The sun rises at a certain time every day, and the moments of its setting are also determined. All seasons of the year occur only during special months. Every day and night are the hours of the day. The beauty of the universe and its security are all natural matters, which take place over time.

There is no substitute of time. Everything can be found again and again by man, but time can never come back. If time is wasted, no return can be expected so "time" is the most precious blessing granted to the universe. Therefore, every human being should value time and not waste it.

Our religion teaches us the "time constraint." The Pillars of Islam such as Prayer, Fasting, Zakat, Hajj and Jihad are subject to the time restriction.   The five-time prayer, which is the basis of religion, is fixed for its specified timing.  Fasting is obligatory in Ramadan with specific times of Sahar and Iftar, as well as the Hajj's is obligatory and subject to the concept of performing in certain times, days and places.

Every successful person in the world has passed us the message of value the time. They urge us to be punctual in everything we do. Do not waste even a single moment working in vain and avoid non beneficial activities.

A person who does not value time regrets. A nation that does not know the time and the opportunity to be rich is left behind in the world. If you desire health, development, fame, honor and above all the character's blessings, then be time bound.

Wisdom and understanding is the key to making the right decision at the right time in all matters of life and fulfilling its responsibilities in a timely and efficient manner.

There is a famous saying in Persian: -

وقت از دست رفتہ و تیر از کمان جستہ باز یناید

The time left by the hand and the arrows from the bow do not return

ہاتھ سے گیا وقت اور کمان سے نکلا ہوا تیر واپس نہیں آتے

Our Prophet Muhammad said that there are two blessings that most people do not value, time and health. (Sahih Bukhari)

Life is a bit fast. Therefore, the value of time should be even greater and one should not waste a moment in this short life. People who value time do everything as soon as possible and never complain of lack of time. All their work is done on time.  On the contrary, a person who is lazy and neglected passes his time and he cannot do any work on time, so his works are left incomplete and he becomes unhappy and discontent.  Time restriction does not only mean that we plan our time according to the program, but it also means that we do not waste the time of others.
