And he who lets the doors of the meeting with his friend be wide open, will surely see that some conversations lead yet to others, and the meeting which was supposed to be finished in half an hour, lasts for two hours or more.

Indeed, organizing time, as we learn from the schedules of prayer, the appointed times of fasting, iftar (breaking of the fast) and the appointed days of pilgrimage (hajj), introduce us to the following benefits: The abundance of time and blessings which were unknown before the organization of time. It drives away from us both disorganization and the confusion in which we live as a result of the penetration of time and its negligence.

It gives us a respected personality by our friends, companions and those surrounding us. It makes us live in the state of psychological contentment and spontaneous happiness in what we have achieved. It makes us control time and not be controlled by time, itself. **A Work Schedule ** Each of us is able to prepare a sheet of paper for himself and in which he records the timetable for his daily work.

It is necessary to acknowledge the seriousness of observing the articles of the schedule; otherwise, it will become mere ink on paper. This method teaches us the following: Time should be organized in a such way as not to be scattered in digressions and forsaken conclusions, and where one can be wholly engaged in a particular work which, as a result, has an affect on the rest of the work.

The above mentioned paper acts as a calendar which reminds us of the deeds which a wait us to be performed without delay, because tomorrow will impose on us a list of other new deeds, and a moment of our daily schedule will surely be affected on the timetable of tomorrow. It is possible to schedule even preparatory time for each action.

This may seem difficult because it is impossible to estimate the time of some actions properly and exactly, but, with the passing of days, it will become a beautiful habit with which one gets used to. There is no harm in putting aside time we call "free" just for unexpected emergencies. As Muslims, our responsibility is not limited only to worldly deeds, and, therefore, our Islamic schedule cannot be separated from our ordinary schedule except in some obligations.
