PERSPECTIVE
WESTERN VIEW ON TIME
“TIME IS MONEY”
IF A PERSON HAD ENOUGH MONEY THEN HE
CAN TAKE TIME FOR WASTING.
IT IS PURELY A MATERIALISTIC POINT OF
VIEW.
IT IS A CLICHÉ PROMOTED IN ORDER TO
INCREASE INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIVITY.
PERSPECTIVE
VALUE OF TIME?
SOMEBODY MAY CALCULATE THIS WAY:
4 YEARS OF INTENSIVE EDUCATION CAN
GAURANTEE A BEST CAREER AND A LIFE LONG
LUXURY.
Every hour in student life = Earning of 30 years/4 year
time
Calculations:
One hour = SR 4,000,000 /30x12x48= SR 231
PERSPECTIVE
Time provides opportunities to everybody!

TIME (OPPURTUNITY) DOES NOT WAIT FOR
ANYBODY.
Successful: One who grabs the opportunities.
Loser: One who is not conscious of opportunities
PERSPECTIVE
WHO IS A WINNER?
WINNERS TAKE CONTROL OF TIME.
LOSERS LET OTHERS CONTROL THEIR TIME.
HE WHO MASTERS HIS TIME MASTERS HIS

LIFE.
What is Time Management?

It is not just timekeeping or punctuality but it is
much more than this.
ACHIEVING A PLANED GOAL WITHIN A TIME

Who needs Time Management?

To live a Passive Life --- No Time
Management is required
To live an Extraordinary Life --- Time
Management is Essential
Time Management is required for the one
who has definite ambitious goals in his life.
For the one who wants to make an impact on
society, workplace and on his own career
Islamic Concept of Time
”Has there not been over man a

long period of Time, when he
was nothing-mentioned”?(Sura Ad
Dahr v-1)
Present World Era
Hereafter
Resurrection Day Infinite Period
Timeline
ATTRIBUTES OF TIME:
•IT IS IRREVERSIBLE
•IT CAN NOT BE COMPENSATED
•NO BODY KNOW WHEN THE LIFETIME COMES
TO AN END
•ONLY ONE CHANCE OF TRAIL
PERSPECTIVE
WHAT IS ISLAMIC CONCEPT OF TIME?

ISLAM FOCUSES ON ETERNAL SUCCESS.
IF LIFETIME OF A PERSON CAN NOT BRING
FORTH ETERNAL SUCCESS HE IS DOOMED TO
FAILURE.
“TIME IS ETERNAL SUCCESS”.

PERSPECTIVE
VALUE OF TIME IN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE:

According to a Famous Hadith:
LIFE TIME OF A PERSON: One Drop
LIMETIME IN HEREAFTER: Ocean
Pleasure in Heaven is Infinite as compared to
Pleasure in this World
Torture in Hell is Infinite as compared to Torture in
this World
PERSPECTIVE
THE VALUE OF TIME :

ASK:
•A STUDENT WHO THOUGHT OF AN ANSWER
WHEN THE TIME IS UP IN AN EXAMIMATION.
•DIEING PERSON WHEN THE TIME IS UP AND
ANGELS ARE READY TO RECEIVE HIS SOUL.
•A PERSON IN THE HEREAFTER WHO IS NOT
PERMITTED TO GO BACK TO THE OLD LIFE FOR
GOOD DEEDS.
VALUE OF TIME IN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE:

INFINITE PLEASURE CAN BE EARNED IN A FINITE
TIME
THIS MAKES THIS FINITE TIME (LIFETIME)

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
TIME IS MUCH MORE THAN JUST MONEY
TIME = ETERNAL SUCCESS
Time spent seeking pleasure of Allah is much more
than any thing imaginable.

BROTHERS/SISTERS IN THEIR EDUCATION
WITH SOME HELP-SESSIONS IN DIFFICULT

EXPENSE OF EASY TOPICS. MAINTAIN A
BALANCE IN ALL SUBJECTS.

PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS IN EXAMS. START WITH EASY
ONES. WITH THIS YOU WILL FIND MORE TIME FOR
DIFFICULT PROBLEMS/QUESTIONS.

ACUMEN. 15 MINUTES A DAY WILL BE GREAT!

TIPS FOR STUDENTS
• REMEMBER THE MOST VALUABLE TIME OF

YOUR ENTIRE LIFE IS YOUR PRESENT TIME
ESPECIALLY FROM 9TH TO 12TH STANDARD.
• DEVELOP SPECIAL SKILLS/TALENTS IN EACH
SUMMER/WINTER VACATION. WORK ON THE
SUBJECTS YOU FEEL DEFECIENCIES IN
HOLIDAYS.
• DO NOT HESITATE TO SEEK HELP FROM
TEACHERS, CLASSMATES OR ELDERS ON
DIFFICULT TOPICS. YOU CAN GO FOR REGULAR
PAID TUTORIALS.
TYPES OF STUDENTS
• TAKE THREE STUDENTS OF SAME CLASS AND SAME IQ.
• TAKE A STUDY MATERIAL THAT REQUIRES 20 HOURS
PREPARATION.
• STUDENT ‘A’ ALLOCATES 20 HOURS AND PREPARED
THOROUGHLY AND HE IS LEFT WITH EXTRA TIME TO REVISE
IT IF REQUIRED.
• STUDENT ‘B’ WASTED TIME AND REALISES THAT HE IS LEFT
WITH ONLY LAST 20 AVAILABLE HOURS AND DEVELOPED
ANXIETY THAT AFFECTED HIS EFFICIENCY. HE PREPARED
BUT HE LACKS CONFIDENCE.
• STUDENT ‘C’ WASTED EVEN MORE TIME AND LEFT WITH
ONLY 10 HOURS. HE TRIES HARD BUT HE COULD NOT FINISH
THE STUDY MATERIAL.
• ‘A’ TELLS THE MATERIAL WAS EASY. SCORED 100%
• ‘B’ TELLS THE MATERIAL WAS DIFFICULT. SCORE 80%
• ‘C’ TELLS THE MATERIAL WAS VERY DIFFICULT. SCORED
60%
IT IS ALL ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT
• THEY CALL IT EASY, DIFFICULT OR VERY DIFFICULT BUT IT IS

IN FACT WITH RESPECT TO THE TIME AVAILABLE FOR BRAIN
TO FOCUS.
• HUMAN BRAIN HAS CERTAIN LIMITATION: IT CAN PROCESS A
LIMITED INFORMATION IN A GIVEN SESSION.
• ALSO HUMAN BRAIN CAN NOT WORK CONTINUOUSLY. IT
NEEDS REST AT CERTAIN INTERVALS.
• WE MUST PROVIDE NECESSARY TIME TO BRAIN ENABLING IT
TO FOCUS ON ANY TASK WITH REGULAR INTERVALS.
• THUS REGULARITY IS THE ESSENCE OF TIME MANAGEMENT
• “ALLAH IS PLEASED WITH THE DEED DONE WITH
REGULARITY NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT IS.”
CONCLUSION
• TIME IS MORE THAN MONEY

• TIME IS ETERNAL SUCCESS
• DEFINE YOUR GOALS
• PLAN TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS (SCHEDULE)
• BE AWARE OF TIME STEALERS
• MAINTAIN BALANCE IN YOUR LIFE (PERSONAL
LIFE, PROFESSIONAL LIFE, RELIGIOUS LIFE,
SOCIAL LIFE ETC.)
