As Salaamu Alaikum Wa Rahmutallahi Wa Baraakaatahu,
It’s your Sunnah Infographics Family here.
Hope you're well and in good health.
As the days and nights role on..
Time stands still for no human being.
So it’s important to know when and how to utilize your time effectively.
And that can be any part of the day, according to your schedule..
But know...
That the baraakah and blessings are in your early mornings.
So start there..
Ayat Al Qur’an - Surah Al-Asr (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).
Hadith
Sakhr ibn al-Ghamidi reported: The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ said,
“O Allah, bless my nation in their early morning.”

Reflection Point
Are you struggling for time?
Do you feel like you need more time for reflection and direction?
Is your time being taken by everyone except you?
If the answer is yes.
Then take note of the time of great blessings and baraakah.
Your early mornings.
A time when most are sleeping.
The time after you have prayed Fujr and before you start your working day.
Use that pocket of time wisely.
It’s a time when you will be left alone.
To focus on the Qur'an, organise your affairs, exercise, make supplications and plan your life.
There is no better time!
We hear so much talk these days about early morning routines.
But what many don’t know is that our beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ made dua to Allah The All Mighty (over 1,400 years ago), to bless his Ummah in the early mornings.
SubhanAllah.
So how many of us actually make the most of this?
Not enough of us for sure.
Your time is precious.
So utilize the pockets of time that are blessed, if you have the ability.
And make it a habit.
After all..
Your days are numbered in this world.
And your personal clock is ticking…
