This advice of course was directed to students (since students rarely have any property of their own) but it holds significance to every one of us. I once heard from my ustaz in secondary school that time is life. If you are wasting your time, you are wasting your life. Sounds a bit alarming, when you think of it that way.
Let us do our best to make best use of our time, for time past is time gone. Allah says in surah 103, Al-Asr:
Ulama says pay attention to the word 'and' being used, and not 'or'. To be successful we need to believe AND do good AND enjoin on each other truth AND enjoin on each other patience. We need to fulfill all the criteria before we can consider ourselves as no longer among the loss.In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
[103.1] I swear by the time,
[103.2] Most surely man is in loss,
[103.3] Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience.
May Allah give taufik and hidayah to practice it and convey it to others, amin.

A time to be joyous
I've just received a wonderful piece of news. The daughter of my dearly departed neighbour, Pak Ad, is getting married tonight with the walimah to be held in our surau at 8 PM.I hope to be there to not only celebrate the joyous occasion but to also honour the memories of a man who has taught me and watched over me all these years. May Allah place you among the pious and successful, Pak Ad, amin. Only He can repay your kindness to us all, the people who you've helped during your lifetime.

Mungkin part of the doa, Allah dah perkenankan kat aku.. Kat tempat aku ade sorang nama Taufik.. cuma Hidayah je belum nampak sape2 lagi.. :P
BTW, that is my fav. ayat masa belajar dulu. Always read that esp. bila tengok org lain belajar tapi diri mcm relaks2 main komputer.. hmmmmmm... patut belajar utk jadi lebih baik dr semalam lagi nih..

Time is a treasure, is really an enlightening tazkeerah.
