Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al-Asr 1-3 (The Declining Day)
وَٱلْعَصْرِ
By (the phenomenon of) time (which Allah manifests through His creation of night and day and in which the servants perform their deeds).
إِنَّ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ لَفِى خُسْرٍ
Indeed, (all of) mankind is in loss.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّٰلِحَٰتِ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا۟ بِٱلصَّبْرِ
Except those who believe (in Allāh, His Angels, Books, Prophets, the Last Day and the Divine Decree) and work righteous deeds (which are sincere and correct) and mutually advise each other (in calling to and abiding by) the truth and mutually advise each other with patience (in facing the inevitable harms brought by calling to the truth).

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغُلِكَ وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ

Reflection Point:
Digital devices are a wonderful invention. But like everything else in life, it’s how you use it that makes the difference. Many of us struggle to manage our screen time in a productive manner, while many of us are great at it!
How often do we find ourselves sitting with family and friends, and our digital devices take a large portion of that quality time. How many times do we find ourselves scrolling through the phone, and we’ve forgotten entirely what we were looking for in the first place.
As the ayah mentions, mankind is at a loss, in relation to their time, except for those who believe in Allah, work righteous deeds and cooperate upon truth.
Time is precious, so use it wisely!
How do we do that?
By managing it properly..
