Teaser for "scheduling the sunnah way".


So firstly, we need to realize why is it important for us to schedule through the sunnah method anyway. It is because our life is continuously slipping away; someone described this with the likeness of the melting away of ice. And we can better understand this phenomenon by looking at a person whose occupation is to sell ice hence his primary objective will obviously be to sell ice before it melts away. Similarly, our objective in this life should be to make good use of our lives before we cease to exist and one practical way of making the most of our time is to schedule through the sunnah way.

Many people like to use the phrase; “we’re just killing time”, when they pass their time watching movies or doing other entertaining yet useless activities. However, what they, or rather we all, fail to realize is that we are not killing time IN FACT time is killing us. However, morbid this may sound it is none the less true. We need to realize that shaitan is our open enemy and that his ultimate victory is when believers waste their time or rather “just kill” time.

So what is our challenge then, our challenge is to;
·        Use our idle time to do good deeds,
·        And to more efficiently act out on the first point, it is best if we make a schedule that allows us to do so.

You know how they say that an idle mind is a devil’s workshop; similarly think about what an idle day or rather idle days are for a devil, it’s literally like a devil’s field trip or something. Hence realize the importance of making a sunnah oriented or a sunnah centric schedule, the importance of this cannot be overemphasized as our time is our asset. It is that asset which will determine our ultimate outcome so the subject of time should not be taken lightly.
