Character development is a field often overlooked in most Islamic lectures today. Muslims should remember that being an effective worshipper starts with being an effective person. Managing time, planning, and concentrating on efficiency were exemplified by the Prophet (s), and must be an integral part of a Muslim's life today as well.
