Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | Speaking Tree Website | November 14, 2016People do not know how to properly utilize their time. In every matter one should be cautious about time.The Quran says: 'Prayer is obligatory for believers at appointed times of the day.' People think that being on time is only for prayer. But here a general principle has been given with reference to prayer. That is, adopt the principle of time management in your life. [Highlight1] Prayer at five times of the day teaches us the way of using time correctly. Just as we pray at certain times, during the 24-hour day we should have a timetable for the various activities of daily life: working, eating, meeting, studying, and so on.Learning the art of time management is the key to success.
