How can balance be restored between da'wah work, acts of worship, and the rights of family and self?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

We advise you to be conscious of God, organize your time, and be cautious of wasting it on what is not beneficial, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Two blessings in which many people are deceived: health and free time." So, preserve your time and distribute it among your duties, and perfect your work, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, your Lord has a right over you, and your soul has a right over you, and your family has a right over you, so give every rightful one his due." Seek help from God and do not despair, and you should make much supplication and keep company with the righteous, for he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The strong believer is better and more beloved to God than the weak believer, and there is good in both. Be keen on what benefits you, seek help from God, and do not despair."
