The Muslim Has No Free Time

From Ibn Abbas (radhiyallah hu ‘anhumma) who said that Allah’s Messenger, Muhammad pbuh said:
“There are two blessings which many of the people lose: health and free time”

(Hadith reported by Bukhari)

So how can one who has no free time preoccupy himself with this world ! How can one whose time is filled experience free time? So consider, may Allah have mercy upon you, what one of the scholars said about one of the Imams: “I was a neighbour of his at the school in Cairo, my house was above his house. For twelve years I did not awake on any night, at any hour of the night except that I noticed candle light in his house and he was occupied with knowledge. Even when he was eating, his books would be with him and he was occupied with them” From those things upon which the Muslim personality iws built is The Muslim’s Piety and Self-Restraint.
