"How did the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, divide his time between worship, work, sleep, eating, and his other affairs? "
"The Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, did not spend his day according to a fixed routine. Rather, he would reside and travel, make peace and fight, and matters would arise for him on one day that would not arise on another. He would pray Fajr with his companions, and they would sit remembering Allah. When the sun rose, they would pray two Rak'ahs, then each would leave to their work. Sometimes he would go to the market, enjoining good and forbidding evil. He would take a nap at midday. When he finished 'Asr, he would visit his wives and be at the service of his family. When the Mu'adhin called to prayer, he would go to the mosque. At the beginning of the night, he would pray at the beginning of it, then in the middle of it, and his practice settled on praying at the end of it. He would strive in the nights of Ramadan in a way that he would not strive at other times, and he would stay up all night in the last ten nights of it. The Muslim should organize his time for worship, work, rest, his family, his children, and others, according to what suits him.
