It is obvious, as we all know that every human will be spending time in their daily affairs. Hence, fortunate are those that wisely spend their time with good and righteous deeds, while unfortunate for those who have spent their time with useless and futile matters. The famous Arab proverb goes: “Time is like a sword, if you do not cut it, it will cut you.” These words truly manifest the importance of time in human lives. Allah Subhaanahu Wata‘aala is the creator of time and has set 24 hours or 1440 minutes in one full day (and night), no more no less. It is entirely up to us to manage and utilize our time in attaining blissfulness in this world and the Hereafter.

Intoxicant refers to any type of beverage that will cause its consumer to become intoxicated and loses his intellectual ability in making proper judgment. When the intellect or mind can no longer function to control one’s actions and movements, then such person will become vulnerable to evil and negative behavior. Such is the reason why intoxicant is deemed as the mother of all evils. Allah Subhaanahu Wata‘aala mentions in al-Qur’an: “O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.” (al-Maa’idah 5:90)
