THE VALUE OF TIME

I hope this meets you at a TIME when it would make the most impact in your life. Time is a very essential commodity in the making of a Muslim. This is seen in various sections of the Qur'an where Allah swore by time. In Qur'an 103:1, Allah says ‘By the time'. In Qur'an 93:1, He says ‘By the glorious morning light'. In Qur'an 92:1, He says ‘By the night as it conceals (the light). Also in Qur'an 89:1, He says ‘By the dawn'.The fact that Allah swore by time and the different packages in which it comes, emphasizes the fact that we have to attach the appropriate importance to it. We have to value it the right away. There also are other parts of the Qur'an where Allah talked about time. Time is all the moment a man spends from his birth till his death. Time is another word for LIFE, of which whatever vanishes in it can never be replaced. Time is a treasure which is more valuable than money, because money squandered or lost can be replaced, but time lost
