The Importance of Time and Preserving It

The questioner:
Perhaps we will conclude with this question, and there are many questions for which we apologize for not including them all. He asks, may Allah preserve you, about the importance of time and preserving it, and for a word of guidance on this matter?

The Shaykh:
There is no doubt that preserving time and using it in what benefits one in his religion and his worldly affairs—maintaining his time and not wasting it—is something for which he is responsible. He is responsible for this time that Allah gave him and allowed him to live in. He is responsible for this time. Why? By what did he spend it? And by what did he benefit from it? Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward our Shaykh (may Allah honor him) with the best reward, and place his words in the scale of his good deeds, and raise him in rank. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon his family and his Companions.

The Shaykh:
O Allah, send blessings and peace upon him.
