Muhammed Faqih - Preciousness of Time (Surat Al-'Asr)

About this lecture

In this lecture, Sheikh Mohammed Faqih reflects on the profound lessons of Surat Al-'Asr as a new Islamic year begins, reminding us that time is our most precious and irreplaceable gift. He explains how every human being is in a state of loss with the passage of time, and that the only path to offsetting that loss lies in the four qualities Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala outlines in the surah: true faith grounded in knowledge, righteous action, enjoining one another to truth, and encouraging one another to patience. Drawing on Hadith about the questions we will face on the Day of Judgment, the lecture is both a spiritual audit and a call to intentional, community-oriented living.
