Maximising Benefit from One’s Time - Abdul-Hakeem Mitchell

In this lecture Abdul-Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) discusses the importance of guarding and safeguarding one's time.

Shaykh ibn Baaz (rahimahullah Ta'ala)) said, "Time is more valuable than gold itself."

This shows us the importance of time because it is a commodity which will aid us in our hereafter.

In safeguarding and utlising our time there are affairs which we must recognise and utilise in order to aid us in using our time well.

• Worship of Allah - The Purpose of our Creation

Ibn Kathir (rahimahullah Ta'ala):

Allah created his servants to worship Him alone without any partners, so whoever obeys Allah with this command, then Allah will grant them the best of rewards and whoever disobeys Him Allah will punish him with the most severe of punishments.

Allah informs us that he is not in need of the servants, he created his servants, rather they are in need of him (subhanahu) in all of their affairs for indeed Allah is the one who created them and he is the one that gives them sustenance. End of speech

• Good companionship


Spend your time with companionship that will aid you upon good.

The Messenger (sallallaahu alaihi wa salam)said,

"The person is upon the religion of his companion, so look to whom you take as your companion."

Have companionship which aids you in worshipping Allah, participating in that which brings you benefit, enjoins the good and forbids the evil, the time you spend with him is one of benefit, seeking beneficial knowledge and acting upon it, reminding one another of Allah, a companion who wants Jannah for you just as he wants for himself.

Anas ibn Malik (radiaAllahu anhu) The Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa salam) said, "One of you does not truly believe until he loves for his brother that which he loves for himself."

• Righteous Actions and Exertion upon them

Do not fill ones time with the actions which are haram and actions which Allah subhanahu disapproves of, it is important to recognise that the worldly life is the place of cultivation for the aakhirah, this is where the seeds are laid down, which we seek to harvest and benefit from in the hereafter. Therefore, if a person does not exert themselves upon good, what will he have to harvest in the aakhirah?

Umar ibn Abdul-Azeez said, "indeed the night and the day they work for you, they are in your service so work for them. Ie take advantage of them, take advanatgae of the actions of the night and the actions of the day."

Abu Hurayrah (radiAllahu anhu) said he and other from the companions would split their night into three, 1/3 for sleep, 1/3 for revision of hadeeth and 1/3 for the worship of Allah (night prayer, supplication etc).

Your life in this world is not eternal, so take benefit of it while you can. [Source]

The Excellence of Standing in the First Row in Salah - Abu Talhah Dawud Burbank

Here are 5 lectures from the Chapters from Riyadh-us-Saliheen taught by Abu Talhah Dawud Burbank (rahimahumullah Ta'ala).  They specifically deal with the explanation of the hadeeths related to the issue of the excellence of standing in the first row in the Salah.

Some amazingly insightful benefits can be found in these audios.

They were initially posted on SalafiSounds.com.

A lot of work has gone into editing these audios and improving their overall quality, due to some of the excellent lessons that can be learnt from them.

The Impermissibility of Reserving a Place in the Masjid - Abu Talhah Dawud Burbank

Here is something that is taking place more and more these days in our masaajid (plural of masjid) and that this the reserving of places by individuals.  

There are two main reasons for this.  Firstly, due to people being ignorant with regards to its ruling. Secondly, due to those who know its ruling, not ordering the good and forbidding the evil.  

This action of reserving places in the masjid is not a legislated practice in Islam.  An innovation, according to Shaykh Ibn al-'Uthaymeen (rahimahullah Ta'ala) as you will come to know.

This benefit has been taken from a series of 5 lectures I posted not so long ago by Abu Talhah Dawud Burbank (rahimahumullah Ta'ala) titled: The Excellence of Standing in the First Row in Salah.

May Allah enable us to understand and implement that which we hear, Aameen.
