Qur'anic Verse: How 'Time is Essential'?

(Hangka-basu Kahawa, hangka-tapak juwalan)


Time is an essential component of life and this is no different for Muslims; it has been acknowledged in the Quran, both explicitly and indirectly. The Quran, the holy book of Islam, emphasizes the importance of managing time and using it in service of Allah and good deeds. 
In verse 103 of chapter 2, Al-Baqarah, Allah says: “Your time is limited and it is preordained.” This stresses the fact that every human being is allotted a certain amount of time in their life which is finite, and it is recorded. This emphasizes the need for us to make the most of the time we have been given and prioritize our time accordingly.



Another Quranic verse about time is in verse 45 of chapter 103, Al-Asr, which reads: “Apply yourself to what you have been given in the time of life, for the afterlife is better and more lasting.' This verse warns us of the fear of losing the good in this life because of preoccupation with the hereafter. It reminds us to use our time wisely and take full advantage of it in this world.

The Quran also emphasizes the importance of planning and preparation, which are essential elements of time management. This is highlighted in verse 48 of chapter 8, Al-Anfal, which states: “Whenever you go out to fight in the cause of Allah, make sure to be armed by taking full preparation and caution.” This verse implies that Muslims should plan diligently and use their time effectively before embarking on any acts of worship, such as Jihad.

In conclusion, these verses from the Quran demonstrate the importance of managing time and using it effectively according to the will of Allah. Muslims are encouraged to use their time wisely and prioritize their activities accordingly. All of this is done in the service of Allah so that Muslims can lead their lives in the right way.
