Mastering the Art of Time: The Power of Punctuality in Today's World

In today's fast-paced world, mastering the art of time holds unparalleled significance. Punctuality isn't merely about being on time; it's a reflection of discipline, respect, and reliability. It's the cornerstone of effective communication and builds trust in personal and professional relationships. When we honour our commitments and arrive punctually, we demonstrate our dedication and value for others' time. Time waits for no one, and in a world filled with endless distractions, being punctual sets us apart, ensuring smoother interactions and heightened productivity. Embracing punctuality isn't just a habit; it's a powerful tool for success in the modern era.

Hazrat Shaykh Al-Alam Shaykh Nooruddin Noorani ???? ???? ???? says:

"It means that prayer performed on time is accepted in the court of Allah, and prayer performed on time is called worship. Prayer performed without time is like making fun of Allah and it causes shame".

- Jalaluddin Rumi says: "The present moment is the only moment where life exists. Master it, and you master time."

- Ibn Arabi says: "Time is a river flowing ceaselessly. To master it, learn to navigate its currents with grace."

Punctuality means being committed to doing everything on time. Not understanding the value of time is ignorance. Those who do not know the value of time in the world are always at a loss. Nature fulfils its love at the appointed time. If we see the law of nature and think about it, we will easily understand that Allah also keeps bringing changes in the heat of the sun for us. That is, the sun rises on time in the morning and sets on time in the evening. The stubbornness of the system is also bound by time.

- Shams Tabrizi says: "To master time is to dance with eternity, for each moment holds the rhythm of the divine."

By implementing the change of seasons in time, we can get grains, grains, and all kinds of food items from the earth by the will of Allah. If we do not sow the seeds on time, the crop cannot grow. If you do not pay attention to the education and training of the child in time, then that child will grow up to be ignorant, uneducated, uneducated, and uneducated. Fruits and flowers come out of the tree on time. That's why a poet has said it well.

Everything is a slave to time, Time reigns over everything.

In light of this fact, we should value time. Know it as precious and important. A student is admitted to an educational institution to study. If that child does his schoolwork on time, he will succeed. On the contrary, if a student ignores the time, he is sure to fail. In this way, his life may go on to ruin. It is not just a matter of examination but timely work in every phase of life brings good fruits.

- Abdul Qadir Gilani says: "The wise understand that time is not to be managed but embraced. Master time, and you master life itself."

On the battlefield, if a soldier is engaged in fighting with the enemy and does not pay attention to punctuality, his negligence can turn victory into defeat. If the rotation of the earth stops even a little, then the world will be apocalyptic. Shaykh Saadi Shirazi ???? ???? ???? says that if a spring springs up somewhere and a stream of water comes out of it, then if we take a black kajal, which we use in our eyes, and put it on the water source of this spring, the water can stop. But with time, even if elephants are placed at the source of water to stop the water, then the water cannot be stopped. It means that by acting on time, we can be an advantage, and nothing can be gained after the time has passed.

- Rabi'a al-Adawiyya says: "In the silence between heartbeats lies the essence of time. Master it, and you shall find peace in every moment."

If a person falls ill and does not seek treatment to get rid of the disease, uses medicine and does not practice dieting, then that minor disease can turn into a fatal disease.

- Fariduddin Attar says: "To master time is to master oneself, for in the stillness of time, the self is revealed."

Sages say that a moment is worth more than lakhs and crores of rupees. This is the advice of intellectuals and elders: We should value time. Time should be taken advantage of, and time should be considered our guide and friend. If the wealth and possessions go out of our hands today, then there is no sorrow, but if the time goes out of our hands, it can never come back. So, the value of time is essential for every person in general and students in particular.
