‘Neglect not your time, nor use it haphazardly; on the contrary, you should bring yourself to account. Make supplication the consumer of your days and nights. Each breath you take is a priceless jewel, but only if you notice it sparkle will you use it wisely. Time is a gift to be cherished and not wasted. Be not as the miser who whittles away the seconds planning worldly gain, nor as the fool who doesn’t even see his time passing. Seek refuge in the arms of your Lord. Make your moments count towards the blessings of paradise. What have the painted ceilings of a thousand castles to offer compared with the celestial canopy promised to those who truly remember their Lord? Comfort for a few decades of living is but a speck besides a glorious spiritual eternity. Juma Mubaraka’ Shaykh Tahir
