How can one reconcile professional, familial, and parental duties, while feeling negligent toward one's parents due to lack of time?
We advise you to seek Allah Almighty's help in organizing your time, and to consult books on the Prophet's biography (Seerah) and noble characteristics (Shama'il Nabawiyyah), books on the rulings of marital relations, the virtues of righteousness and maintaining kinship ties, the virtue of spending on one's family, and treating them well, in addition to beneficial books and courses on time management and organization. Be sure to maintain balance and fulfill your obligations towards everyone, for the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Indeed, your Lord has a right over you, and your body has a right over you, and your family has a right over you, and your guest has a right over you; so give each one who has a right his due." Happiness and success lie in balance and fulfilling these rights.
