HOW SHOULD MUSLIMS SPEND THEIR TIME?
In the Qur’an, the concept of "spare time" does not apply to the believers, for every instant of their lives is occupied. Those who are in awe of Allah and scrupulously abide by His commands strive to perform good deeds continuously in order to be among those closest to Allah. They spend their time worshipping Him according to the guidelines that He has laid out in the Qur’an.
Finishing one thing, they embark upon another one in their eternal quest for goodness and beauty. There are no interruptions, pauses, or limits during these efforts, because the believers understand that they should spend every moment working to earn Allah’s good pleasure and that they will have to account for every instant of their lives.
The Qur’an refers to these efforts, as follows:
So when you have finished, work on, and make your Lord your goal! (Surat al-Inshirah
