Extract from the book:
“Holidays are usually seen as a time wherein we,as
students, can be free of our obligations of studying
and making notes and memorizing and we can relax
and sleep our time around,and eat to our fill.
However,the case with us should be the opposite.
Holidays should be a time when we as students, either
as Islamic Studies students or Modern Education
students,must spend our free time to get closer to
Allah and His Deen.
The Prophet صلى اله عليه وسلم had informed us that the two
Nia’mahs wasted away by people are ‘health and free
time’.”
To read the entire essay on how holidays can be made beneficial please read the short book How should a Talib ul Ilm spend his holidays ?
