Balancing Work and Family Commitments

The endeavour to strike a balance between our commitments is an ongoing process. However, with efforts to manage our time wisely and prioritise Allah (s.w.t.) in our lives, our time and lives will be blessed, and all difficulties will be eased by Him.

Here some suggestions to help us balance work and family commitments as part of our obedience to Allah s.w.t.:

First: Never forget to pray and place trust in Allah s.w.t.
Secondly: Allocate time for rest to restore our energy and process our emotions. The objective of having enough rest is to enable us to resume with renewed energy and better focus.
Thirdly: Find or develop a support system that can ease things for us, especially during difficult times.
