A day in the life of a working Muslim/mah

[enoch]

:salam2:

They say the best way to be successful in life is to emulate the habits of a successful person.

I personally know hundreds of such who follow the teachings, principles and habits of successful people such as Brian Tracy, Anthony Robbins, Jose Silva.

And to be honest I too fell for that scheme. As much as I was dedicated to following their advice, I realised how much emphasis was placed on earning "more" money, achieving "wordly" success and a lot of it has to do with thinking about the material world.


I paused back to reflect and told myself this is not who I am, nor is it my belief or ideology to restrict my thinking to the worldly life.

I truly and wholeheartedly believe that if there is any one person whose habits and way of life you must emulate it is undoubtedly the Prophet (saws).

But what would a person be doing in order to make that into a reality?

What is the Day of a working Muslim/mah like?


How should each and every hour be spent like?

What do they do for entertainment, what do they do for leisure?

There are reward systems, goal planning and setting involved in the Brian Tracy/Anthony Robbin systems?

Long story short ..

What will a typical day be from the moment he/she wakes up to the moment he/she
goes back to sleep?

A routine to follow, a habit to emulate, an inspiration to balance the worldly life and the after, a guide to attaining inner peace, a break through from anxiety and depression... Anything

All suggestion even if it is a sentence is welcomed

Jazakallah

I am a stay at home mom but that is work in itself. I get up for Fajr prayer, then after read the Quran for about 15 minutes then back to bed. Up by 8 and getting my husband ready for his classes and fixing my son breakfast. After I drop him off I let my son watch an episode of Sesame Street while I do some cleaning/laundry/general housework. About 10 I get on Facebook and mess about for around a half hour. Then it's snack time for my son and we play on the floor, work on our letters ect. Around Noon its lunch time so I pick my husband up and we have lunch with William then I make Dhur prayer and read the Quran for about a half hour. Take my hubby back to class around 1:30, then let my boy watch another Sesame Street while I read either the Quran or a book on Islam. Get my hubby at 3, get home, put son down for nap, begin round two of housework, then Asr prayer and Quran time, get son up by 5. Cook dinner, play time/family time/bath time Maghrib prayer + Quran reading then at 7:30 my boy goes down for the night. I say Isha right after that then sit down and read the Quran for about an hour or so. Take a shower, my hubby and I watch a little TV or we read. Then about 11 its my bed time. Rinse and repeat.

I pray this helps.
