Use your time before death takes it

For the dinner table

The khateeb reminded us that Allah gives every person 86,400 seconds each day, like a chest of coins that must be spent before nightfall. Time is shared equally by rich and poor, but once a moment passes, nobody can recover it. Through examples of earlier scholars, he showed how people can value small moments, seek beneficial knowledge, and even make rest serve a good purpose. He also asked us to notice how easily free hours can disappear into social media, entertainment, and activities we barely remember. The message was not that we must become superhuman, but that we should honestly examine our habits and use our limited lives for worship, good deeds, learning, family, and service. His closing reminder was simple: make time for Allah, who created time itself.
