Description
Summary:Emphasising time management is crucial for anyone aspiring to be successful. Most of the influential and successful figures in his life have a good time management culture. Among them is the late Dato' Bentara Setia Tuan Guru Haji Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat. He was a former Menteri Besar, a scholar, politician, and preacher who was very influential in the archipelago. His name was also engraved in the book '50 Islamic Figures Influential in the World'. His busyness was not an excuse for him to educate the community through knowledge. During his lifetime, he frequently delivered his lectures every Friday morning. Among them, he talked about time management through the interpretation of Surah al-'Asr. His perspective on time management in the surah was an interesting secret to explore. Therefore, this study aims to discuss time management according to the perspective of the late Tuan Guru Haji Nik Abdul Aziz in regard to his interpretation of Surah al-'Asr. This study uses documentation and content analysis methods. The researchers obtained the research data from books written about him, previous research conducted on him, and video recordings of Tuan Guru's lectures and documentaries related to his life. The results of the study found that time management, according to the deceased's perspective, is based on the four criteria mentioned in Surah al-'Asr, namely: [a] The believer; [b] Do good deeds; [c] Message each other with truth, and; [d] Message each other with patience. This is the nature of successful people in this world and in the hereafter. In addition, he also made the principles of mas'uliah, ubudiah and itqan a practice in administration to meet the success criteria. These four criteria and three general principles are suitable as ideas and guides for current and future generations of Muslims.
