To understand the meaning of ONE MONTH

To understand the meaning of ONE WEEK

ask an editor of a weekly magazine

To understand the meaning of ONE DAY

ask a daily wage labor

To understand the meaning of ONE HOUR

ask a girl who is waiting for her boy

To understand the meaning of ONE MINUTE

ask a person who has missed the train

To understand the meaning of ONE SECOND

To understand the meaning of ONE MILLI-SECOND

And lastly, are you aware that the time ispassing by?

Are you ready to be responsible to Allah?
