Buying Time

We buy time all the time, literally. 

When you pay for the cab fare or even for the train, you are buying time. 
When you pay for that food from the restaurant, you are buying time. 
When you purchase softwares, you are buying time. 

All these products and services, allows you to achieve your needs and wants, in a much lesser time, than if you were to do it without them. if there is no cab or buses or trains, you'd walk to work, and that would take half a day to a day - that's time.  Same goes for food, if you were to buy the ingredients and cook it yourself, that means also another half a day perhaps.  Softwares help you achieve your tasks and sharing them in a much lesser time that before they exists.

So what we're actually buying is TIME.

How about selling TIME for a change.  How can we sell time?

May Allaah show us and give us barakah. 

“By time, indeed, mankind is in loss, Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience.” [Man's translation of the Quran, 103: 1-3]
