.The Qur?an and Sunnah both emphasise the importance of time in the life of a Muslim. Allah says in the beginning of many Surahs (chapters) by time or moments in time, for example Allah SWT says (what means) in ?By the dawn and the ten nights (i.e. the first ten days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah)...?
And says (what means) in
1.?By the night when as it envelops.??
2. ??By the day as it appears in brightness...?
And also says (what means) in
93:1?By the forenoon (after sunrise)
93.2??By the night when it darkens...?
And also says (what means): ?By the time...?
Youth is considered the peak stage in human life, because young people have the capacity and energy to accomplish many good deeds, but when they get older, they cannot do as much.
These are stages of development as mentioned in the Qur?an, for example in Surah Ar-Room (The Romans), Allah Says (what means): ?Allah is He Who created you in (a state of) weakness, then gave you strength after weakness, then after strength gave (you) weakness and grey hair ...?
If we do not use our time effectively for something good, then we will definitely use it for something bad, which destroys our rewards and our lives. For example, if you do not make Thikr (mentioning Allah and praising Him), then you will be saying something else, perhaps backbiting or perhaps talking about your children, your work, your neighbours, your friends or your enemies. What counts for you is using the time for something useful, doing good deeds and saying good things.
Try to make a short revision at the end of each day about what you did during that day.
If you can ask yourself these questions:
1.What did I do today?
2. What did I do that was bad today?
Make repentance for the bad things that you have done and said, sincerely determining not to repeat such things. With the good, determine to do it again, do it more often and do it in a better way.
Our lives are judged according to WHAT WE DID, not according to how many years we lived. We know that LIFE IS SHORT and AT THE END OF IT COMES DEATH. We do not know when we are going to die, so we have to make sure that we do many good deeds before we pass into the next life and we are unable to return to repent from our bad deeds, or to do more good deeds.
Time passes very quickly as Allah SWT says (what means) in Surat 79:46 An-Naziaat (Those Who Pull out]
?The Day they see it, (it will be) as if they had not tarried (in this world) except an afternoon and a morning.?
Allah also says (what means) in Surat 10:45 Yunus (Jonah)] ?And on the Day when He shall gather (resurrect) them together, (it will be) as if they had not stayed (in the life of this world and graves, etc) but an hour of a day.?
Time is very precious and if it passes, you cannot make use of it again. If yesterday passed without the performance of good deeds, then it is gone; you cannot reclaim any benefit from yesterday?s time.

a. If you came to travel from one city to another and you found that the airplane that you were supposed to travel on has already left, do you think that it will be back to pick you up?
b. or if you were travelling by train and you missed the train, do you think that the train will reverse to come back to get you?
Be it, Time is like a moving airplane, train, bus...if you miss it, it would not reverse to come back to get or pick you up. :)
