Munaib Swati
One of the most priceless bounties of Allah is time.Time is a gift that everyone receives equally. Therefore it cannot be argued that the poor have 24 hours in a day while the rich have 27.The most priceless gift that God has given us is time, second only to our soul. The way one chose to use it reveals their ideals and character. Time is priceless because it runs out and cannot be replaced. There is undoubtedly nothing more valuable than time; if someone has it, they have life, and if they don’t, they don’t.Time also represents structure. Because of this, everything we do in life has a beginning and an end. There is a season for everything, and a time for everything God creates in the universe: a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to harvest what has been planted; a moment to kill and another to heal; a time to build up and a time to break down; There is a time to laugh and a time to cry; a time to dance and a time to mourn; a time to gather stones together and a time to throw stones away; there are appropriate times to hug and avoid embracing; There is a time to gain and a time to lose.Time is a very precious resource. The surah Al-Asr calls us to recognise the value of our lives and the passage of time, and to live our lives in a way that fosters faith, good acts, adherence to the Sunnah, and invites goodwill. God willing, if we are successful in doing this, we will also be among those who will not be denied Allah’s mercy.Time wasted or time stewarded are our two choices in this situation. Numerous millions of people let time to pass them by without understanding what a priceless gift it is from God. The one thing we can never get back is time. Money is a moving target. Friends change throughout time. But time, once gone, is never returned. Due to time wastage, millions of people are not pursuing their callings and abilities to the fullest. They spend a lot of time on social media.In the lives of humans, time is crucial. It is also of utmost importance. Time constrains the entire universe’s system. Time is determined by the moon, sun, and star’s orbits, the separation of day and night, the onset of each season, and the occurrence of crops, fruits, and flowers. Crops are planted and harvested on schedule by a farmer. Schools, universities, and offices all have regular opening and closing times. Exams are timed, too. Because time is a fundamental component of all aspects of life. Time is more valuable than thousands and crores of dollars in cash. There is no grief if our wealth, possessions, and property are taken from us; we can earn them back. We are able to improve health if it declines.But time can never be retrieved after it has passed. It escapes from our grasp like sand. Time is a very precious gift from nature and a gift of trust from Allah Almighty; to not value time is to breach that trust. Punctuality causes systemic disruption. Time’s significance can be gauged by the fact that this universe’s system, which is controlled by such a large entity, operates on schedule and in accordance with its orders. The sun, moon, and stars all rise and set on schedule. The sun rises and provides light before setting at night. Similar to how the moon glows brightly at night, proclaiming God’s magnificence. The birds fly to their homes. The birds proclaim the glory of God. Keep in mind that those who appreciate time, God’s grace, such peoples are successful in the world.Nations that neglected punctuality were destroyed. The passage of time controls us. Time does not belong to anyone and does not represent anyone. Everything in the world has some form of compensation, but not time. We put all of our trust in every second. Time is valuable, and we should spend it wisely. Without a doubt! Understanding the value of time and keeping to it can help us succeed in life and make our lives better. Our life will be challenging if we do not appreciate and comprehend the significance of time. It will continue to be lacking,we will constantly be dispersed in life we,and will always be trapped in the circle of failure. Therefore, it is crucial to value time and spend it wisely in order to prevent squandering it; the regret of doing so will never be able to be undone. Only remorse can be used as a cure.In order for success to become our destiny in both places, we should value time and use it for good acts. May Allah grant us the wisdom to use time wisely and to respect it as a valuable diamond does.
