Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Take advantage of five before five:
“your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your riches before your poverty, your free time before your work, and your life before your death.“
Source: Shu’ab al-Imān 9767
Youth
When were are young we have strength, enthusiasm and drive and putting those advantages in the path of Allah raises the individual levels.
The Prophet ﷺ has told us that a young person who grew up with the worship of Allah, will be among the seven who are granted shade by Allah when there no shade but His. (Bukhari)
Health
No one can guarantee what tomorrow will bring. Our health is a blessing from Allah that we tend to take for granted.
Wealth
A Muslim whom Allah has blessed with an abundance of wealth should know that the Giver is also the Withholder. His wealth and possessions can be taken away at any time of Allah’s choosing. A believer knows that giving in charity and spending in Allah’s cause is due upon both a king and a pauper.
Free time
A Muslim who has free time on his hands should spend it wisely. Having free time at one’s disposal is a treasure beyond compare in the usual hustle and bustle of life. Free time should translate into good works. A believer does not sit idle or waste his time on useless activities that distance him from Allah.
Life before Death
We are all going to die, It is an inevitable truth. And how we spend this life in Dunya determines our life in the hereafter. Take advantage of your life before it is too late…
May Allah bless us To take benefits from these five before five!
