[T]he people who are close to Allah worry so much about wasting time that they call themselves to account for every breath they spend - how many of us wonder about how we spend our day, let alone each breath?

Ethar ElKatatney
About This Quote

“People who worry about wasting time get called to account for every breath they spend.” The idea is that we have a finite amount of time in this world and that we should not waste it on trivial matters. People who worry about wasting time, or being wasteful spend a lot of the day trying to figure out what they could have done better. As a result, they never get too comfortable with their lives, but instead are constantly on the lookout for ways to improve themselves.
