“Hikmah (wisdom) is, to do that which is befitting, in a manner which is befitting, at a time which is befitting.”

“Everything (that happens) is by way of al-Qadr, even when you place your hand upon your cheek.”

The Prophet divided the waking hours into three segments daily - 1.Spiritual Development: This was his time dedicated to Allah. It was typically the late part of the night when the Prophet would re-charge himself spiritually for the next day and boost his resolve to face the challenges in his mission. It was an intimate communication with his Lord, the source of all strength and empowerment, through Qiyam (prayer), Dua (supplication) and Dhikr (remembrance)

Family Affairs: This time, usually in the evening on daily basis, was with his wives and other family members.

Personal / Social Affairs: Throughout the day, the Prophet would try to find time to attend to his personal needs. However, he dedicated most of this segment to serving his companions and to attending to the community’s needs.

The Prophet’s daily schedule revolved around the five daily prayers -As Aisha, the wife of the Prophet explained, when the time for Salah (prayer) approached, he would drop everything and head to the Masjid right away; it was as if he didn’t know anyone or anything else when the Azan (call to prayer) was called.

The Prophet planned for significant events in the year - He had it all figured out in advance.

The Prophet honoured other’s time - He was sensitive to his companion’s time and needs. His Khutbas (sermons) were brief, concise, and powerful. Most of his talks or recorded sayings were no longer than 3-5 minutes.

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, encouraged his family and companions to start their day early to maximize blessings and productivity

the last time we spoke

but i don't need to mend

the heart that you broke

i'll just grow a new one

to replace the old

and filter the blood

you once had on hold

i'm starting to think

there exists many ways

to bypass the tricks

that my mind plays

by letting the sinking

black holes of my heart

burn through emotion

and quickly restart

it's a much colder way

to get over things

in place of the pain

that a broken heart brings

your soul has a plan,

that even though you can’t

be able to see it completely,

you still know that everything

will slowly unfold as it meant to be.
