.png)
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) Said: "There are two blessings in which many people incur loss. (They are) health and free time."
[Riyad as-Salihin 97]
Are we ready to make better use of the time that Allah has given us?
We are unaware of the duration of our lives, and we are instructed to utilise our time well in this world to reach our ultimate destination in the afterlife, Jannatul Firdous. Many people, whether knowingly or unknowingly, become complacent and waste time, and later come to find themselves in regret. In our busy schedules, how do we recognise the importance of time and being efficient?
Allah has provided us with constant reassurance, motivation, and encouragement to build better lives through patience and perseverance. Surah Al-’Asr is a beautiful example of where Allah has provided powerful wisdom for humanity. The prosperity of humanity, way to failure and loss, and the importance of patience for success is described in a concise but also comprehensive way.
Join us in this incredible seminar as we explore the tafsir and virtues of Surah Al-’Asr and look deeper into the guidance Allah has provided us through His words, to re-focus our mindsets and increase productivity. In this seminar, we aim to enhance our understanding that great rewards lie with having faith in Allah, in practising patience and fulfilling righteous deeds.
