Time provides opportunities to everybody! TIME (OPPURTUNITY) DOES NOT WAIT FOR ANYBODY. Successful: One who grabs the opportunities. Loser: One who is not conscious of opportunities

TIME MANAGEMENT IN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE TYPES OF STUDENTS •

TAKE THREE STUDENTS OF SAME CLASS AND SAME IQ.

•

TAKE A STUDY MATERIAL THAT REQUIRES 20 HOURS PREPARATION.

•

STUDENT ‘A’ ALLOCATES 20 HOURS AND PREPARED THOROUGHLY AND HE IS LEFT WITH EXTRA TIME TO REVISE IT IF REQUIRED.

•

STUDENT ‘B’ WASTED TIME AND REALISES THAT HE IS LEFT WITH ONLY LAST 20 AVAILABLE HOURS AND DEVELOPED ANXIETY THAT AFFECTED HIS EFFICIENCY. HE PREPARED BUT HE LACKS CONFIDENCE.

•

STUDENT ‘C’ WASTED EVEN MORE TIME AND LEFT WITH ONLY 10 HOURS. HE TRIES HARD BUT HE COULD NOT FINISH THE STUDY MATERIAL.

•

‘A’ TELLS THE MATERIAL WAS EASY.

•

‘B’ TELLS THE MATERIAL WAS DIFFICULT. SCORE 80%

•

‘C’ TELLS THE MATERIAL WAS VERY DIFFICULT. SCORED 60%

SCORED 100%

TIME MANAGEMENT IN ISLAMIC PERSPECTIVE IT IS ALL ABOUT TIME MANAGEMENT •

THEY CALL IT EASY, DIFFICULT OR VERY DIFFICULT BUT IT IS IN FACT WITH RESPECT TO THE TIME AVAILABLE FOR BRAIN TO FOCUS.

•

HUMAN BRAIN HAS CERTAIN LIMITATION: IT CAN PROCESS A LIMITED INFORMATION IN A GIVEN SESSION.

•

ALSO HUMAN BRAIN CAN NOT WORK CONTINUOUSLY. IT NEEDS REST AT CERTAIN INTERVALS.

•

WE MUST PROVIDE NECESSARY TIME TO BRAIN ENABLING IT TO FOCUS ON ANY TASK WITH REGULAR INTERVALS.

•

THUS REGULARITY IS THE ESSENCE OF TIME MANAGEMENT

•

“ALLAH IS PLEASED WITH THE DEED DONE WITH REGULARITY NO MATTER HOW SMALL IT IS.”
