Contemporary lifestyles increasingly blur the boundaries between rest and work, triggering an epidemic of occupational burnout and work-life imbalance. This phenomenon has a profound impact on the physical and mental well-being of society. Recognizing this issue, this study aims to examine the concept of work-life balance through the interpretive lens of Surah al-Furqān, verse 47. This qualitative research employs a document analysis approach, investigating eight authoritative classical and contemporary Quranic exegeses. The thematic analysis reveals three primary dimensions: first, the night as a phase of tranquility and physio-emotional restoration, visualized through the concept of libāsan (covering/sanctuary); second, the significance of sleep as an absolute energy-recovery mechanism grounded in the term subātan (ultimate rest); and third, the manifestation of the day as a medium for productivity and the ethical pursuit of livelihood, guided by the philosophy of nushūran (resurgence/activity). The study advocates integrating these divine principles of temporal balance into the formulation of human resource policies and organizational management strategies to effectively curtail the culture of employee rest-time exploitation. In conclusion, the adoption of the Quranic time-management framework serves as a potent instrument in ensuring a holistic, productive, and sustainable quality of life.
Gaya hidup kontemporari semakin mengaburkan sempadan antara waktu rehat dan waktu bekerja, lantas mencetuskan fenomena kelesuan pekerjaan serta ketidakseimbangan kehidupan-kerjaya. Senario ini memberikan implikasi yang kritikal terhadap kesejahteraan fizikal dan mental masyarakat. Menyedari hakikat ini, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis konsep keseimbangan kehidupan-kerjaya berdasarkan perspektif tafsiran Surah al-Furqān, ayat 47. Reka bentuk kajian kualitatif ini mengaplikasikan pendekatan analisis dokumen terhadap lapan (8) karya tafsir yang merangkumi era klasik dan kontemporari. Analisis tematik mendedahkan tiga (3) teras utama: pertama, malam sebagai fasa kedamaian serta pemulihan jasmani dan emosi yang digambarkan melalui konsep libāsan; kedua, penegasan terhadap kepentingan tidur sebagai mekanisme pemulihan tenaga mutlak berteraskan terma subātan; dan ketiga, manifestasi siang sebagai medium produktiviti dan pencarian rezeki beretika berpandukan falsafah nushūran. Kajian ini mengesyorkan agar prinsip keseimbangan masa ilahiah ini diintegrasikan ke dalam kerangka penggubalan dasar sumber manusia dan strategi pengurusan organisasi bagi menoktahkan budaya eksploitasi masa rehat pekerja. Kesimpulannya, pengadaptasian sistem pengurusan masa anjuran al-Quran berupaya berfungsi sebagai instrumen ampuh dalam menjamin kelestarian kualiti hidup yang holistik, produktif, dan sejahtera.
