A word on making use of the summer vacation and preserving time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner, Abu Bakr the Shaykh, asks: Is there a word on making use of the summer vacation, especially since there is still a lot of it left?
Answer:
For the Muslim, all of his time is precious. There is no time for the Muslim that is wasted or squandered, neither in the summer vacation nor in any other time. This is especially true for students of knowledge, scholars, and the general public; time is very, very precious. It is your life, and you have nothing but this life. If you use it in the obedience of Allah, you will find it on the Day of Resurrection. But if you neglect it and waste it, it will be lost for you on the Day of Resurrection, and you will be bankrupt on the Day of Resurrection. And even worse is if you waste it in sins and evil deeds, may Allah protect us from that. You have nothing but this life in this world, so how do you be negligent with it and waste it? Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Fatihah 1:1] and the time. Indeed, man is in loss. The time is the life, and the surplus [Al-'Asr 103:2-3].
So if you want to be saved from loss, do these four things: faith, righteous deeds, enjoining one another to truth, and enjoining one another to patience. Yes, there is no harm in a person being generous with himself regarding what is permissible, but he should not do it excessively. There is no harm in permissible entertainment, but a person should not indulge in it and waste his time. Rather, he should use a little of what is permissible. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ(2) Indeed, mankind is in loss, (3) Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.
إِنَّ الْإِنسَانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِSo if you want to be saved from loss, do these four things: faith, righteous deeds, enjoining one another to truth, and enjoining one another to patience.
