What is the appropriate schedule to follow in Ramadan?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : If it becomes three instead of four. All right.
The questioner : There is a small question remaining.
The Shaykh : Yes, this is a sincere question.
The questioner : He asks: What is the appropriate schedule to follow in the blessed month of Ramadan? The daily time schedule?
The Shaykh : This cannot be fixed in reality, meaning we cannot determine a specific thing for every person, as people differ. This is a businessman who has work, and this is a student of knowledge who studies in his school, college, or institute, and this is another man who has other tasks. It is not possible to set a specific schedule, but the wise and decisive person is the one who does not waste any of his time except in what he knows to be beneficial, because time is more valuable than money. Money, if it runs out, can perhaps be recovered, but time can never be recovered. Therefore, the wise, decisive, and astute person cares for his time more than he cares for his money. It is amazing that many people, or most people, care for their money and put it in boxes or in banks, claiming that this is safer for it or something similar, but their time is completely wasted in what is not beneficial. In fact, it may be wasted in what is harmful and in earning sin, may Allah protect us from that. We must all care for our time, which is more valuable than our wealth, and not waste it except in what is good, whether it is pure good, predominant good, or a means to good. May Allah grant success, and all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
