Seeker of knowledge ....(Value of time)

A few words of wisdom from respected teacher concerning the use of TIME!

TIME is a Ne'mat (gift) from Allah سبحانه و تعالى. In this time and era we do not use this gift as we should. Remember every minute is valuable and the previous minute will never return.

There are people that are engrossed in dhikr or any other type of worship whilst in their daily routine.

So we should try our utmost best in utilising our time wisely inshAllah it will be greatly beneficial.

An advice was specially given to those who are Hufaaz.

*One must pray 3 Paras a day, and use their time in the correct manner.
