Some students once asked about how to achieve balance between worldly affairs and religious matters and said that when they got involved in studying professional education they got so preoccupied that they forgot completely about Allah SWT, and when they started reading the Quran they enjoyed it so much that they wanted to read Quran all the time and did not want to do their studies at all. Hazrat RA said, "The true spirit of Islam is that a person balances everything in life. Praying doesn't mean that a person gets so preoccupied with it that he starts neglecting his other duties and responsibilities. In fact if a person studies medicine with an intention that he will serve Allah's creation then every moment he is spending in studying medicine is being spent in prayers. The correct way is that a person develops a routine that for example after Fajar prayer he will pray for a specific time like would read a certain amount of Quran every morning, and then he would go to his educational institution and will give as much time to his studies as required. If he keeps practicing this then slowly and gradually he will achieve balance in life."
