How to spend your time in the morning: a tip for financial success

Some people wake up early in the morning, while some others sleep till late. Guess what all successful entrepreneurs get up early in the morning. Some successful entrepreneurs get up by 6.00am, some are even up by 5.30am. You should get up before Fajr prayers to do Tahajjud prayers, and make supplications to Allah. Tahajjud prayer is not obligatory. Managing your time in the morning effectively and efficiently could become an habit over time once you start managing it. Now I sound like an expert on time management. I just carried out a research which I learnt from and I am delivering it.

Do you know some Chief Executive Officers spend 30 minutes in morning running. It gets them fully prepared for the day. We have 24 hours in a day, 6-8 hours should be spent sleeping, 8 hours is spent working (not everyone, some people work part time or more hours) if you have a regular job (9am to 5pm). Thus, you have 8 free hours left. I am not going to tell to plan every single hour of your day that will be boring. Make sure you do your 5 daily obligatory prayers (Fajr, Zhur, Asr, Maghrib and Isha). Please spend some time doing something spontaneously.

If you are up by 4.30 am in the morning, you should have 4.5 free hours. You should spend at least 30 minutes praying to Allah (be conscious of the time for Fajr prayers). 20 minutes spent on exercises (they run, you do not have to run, just have a form of exercise), 40 minutes bonding with your family if you live with them, like you might have to cook and have a chat or cater to your kids and spouse if you have kids and a spouse. Make sure your job is halal.

 Everything happens according to the will of Allah. Everything should be done deliberately for the sake of Allah. Part of doing something for the sake of Allah means hoping for a reward from Him (in this life and life after death). 

 Halal means anything lawful Islamically. Keep  checking my blog regularly. Cheers!

How can your strategy be successful

Hello readers, today I will be telling you about ways to make your strategy a successful one. The scope is your strategy must be fit, in other words your strategy must be consistent with the environment your business operates in. When I say environment, I am talking about both external and internal environments. Thus, you must understand the political, economic, socio-cultural, technological and legal environments your business operates in. The environmental protection that affects your organisation must also influence you when formulating your strategy. Therefore, PESTEL analysis can be used to understand the external environment of your business. The internal environment also needs to be understood, as your strategy must also be in alignment with the internal environment. Understanding your internal environment will help you know the resources your business has, the capabilities of your business as well as the structure and system. The SWOT analysis can be used to help y...

The Istikharah Prayer

Hello readers , today I will be telling you about the Istikharah prayer. It is a prayer of guidance. When you want to make a major decision in your life, it is best you seek Allah's guidance. You should always pray to Allah to guide you through the right path in your daily activities. Istikharah prayer is recommended for a major decision such as getting married, starting a business and others. How do you perform the Istikhara prayer? Make two rakats (Nafila). During your first rakat, after reciting Surat Fatiha recite Surat Ikhlas, during your second rakat  after reciting Surat Fatiha recite Surat Kaafirun. After saying Asalam Alaykum Waramatullahi to the right and then the left recite this: "Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi-ilmika wa astaqdiruka biqudra-tika, wa as'aluka min fadlikal Azeemi fainnaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru, wa ta'lamu wa la a'alamu, wa Anta Allamul-Ghuyubi, Allahum-ma in kunta ta'lamu anna  [then mention the thing to be decided] khairun ...
