We waste many minutes waiting at the traffic light, and many more minutes at the doctor’s office, or for another appointment, or waiting for a call or a friend, and so on. Many minutes are lost here and there, but the wise one is he who benefits from them. The minutes that passes will never return again. So let it become a custom that we retain a juz of the Quran, or carry a small book in our pocket so that if we find a free minute, we benefit from it and gain reward and increase in knowledge.
And if you persist upon these actions, your tongue will become accustomed to reciting dhikr, and you will find yourself accomplishing more and more in a single minute and if you take advantage of a single minute, you will then take advantage of the longer, wasted periods of time.
