The answer

The blessing of time is immense; Allah Almighty swore by it and the Prophet (peace be upon him) enjoined its utilization before it passes, for many people are ignorant of its value and neglect to use it in what pleases Allah. Whoever wastes their time feels depression and loss. The reason for this problem is the lack of appreciation for time, the feeling of depression resulting from wasting time and disobeying Allah, and surrendering to one's own desires. To solve this problem, one should be diligent in acts of worship, increase memorization of the Holy Quran, champion the causes of Muslim women, associate with righteous companions, read beneficial books, engage in da'wah activities, listen to lectures, learn beneficial worldly sciences, use computers for useful work, and read books and listen to lectures on time management.
