The answer

Every human being will be questioned on the Day of Judgment about their life and youth, regarding how they spent them, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him): "The feet of a servant will not move on the Day of Judgment from before their Lord until they are questioned about five things: about their life and how they spent it, about their youth and how they wore it out, about their wealth – from where they acquired it and on what they spent it, and about what they did with what they knew." A person must recognize the honor of their time and the value of their moments, so they do not waste a single moment in anything other than an act of worship.

To make the most of time, the following is recommended: 1. Taking care to reform the heart, purify the soul, and strengthen faith, by learning the rulings of , observing the obligatory duties, and avoiding sins. 2. Being eager to benefit others and serve the religion in whatever way possible. 3. Seeking help from Allah, organizing time, balancing priorities, and striving for sincerity of intention towards Allah Almighty.
