Get used to enduring hardship. Each and every moment is precious for you. Have the habit of checking before you go to sleep every night that you did not waste a single moment during the day. When you will be assessing yourself like that, you will develop a sense of the value of time right from now. You will get into the habit of spending time appropriately. When you will graduate form here and come out as a ‘Murabbi’ (spiritual instructor) or a Missionary, you will be of those spending each moment for the sake of the faith. When you will spend your time this way, only then will you be hailed as one who fulfilled his pledge. Remember one other thing, that whatever you learn in classes here, do revise it afterwards. When you go to your rooms, whatever you have learnt that day, revise it the same day so that what you have read settles in your mind. Besides that, until the time you are able to read Urdu, get into the habit of reading any book of the Promised Messiah as which has been translated into English. I think virtually all of you know English. Some books have some parts which have been translated. Get into the habit of understanding them. Remember, you have to do supplementary reading. Teaching of the Holy Qur’an or daily recitation is part of your studies and it will be compulsory for those who reside in the hostel to recite the Holy Qur’an after Fajr prayers.
