Brothers, might I ask to think and reflect upon the following points:
1. Let's assume that we have on average 60 - 70 years to live.
2. Out of that quota let's deduct 20 years of our life. Now, now. Don't protest. This is the time we spend in sleeping. So we can't be held accountable for that time spent.
3. Let's also deduct an additional 15 years. Children are not held accountable for their actions. Most kids reach puberty by the age of 15.
4. Let's also deduct another 5 years. This time is the duration of our sickness or ailments. Or times of senility.
5. The amount to deduct = 20 + 20 = 40 years.
6. That means if our life span is 60 years we have only 20 years of time whereby we shall be held accountable!
I hope you now realize how LITTLE time you really have. Only 20 to 30 years! If you divide that number, you will get half for your youth and half for your old age.
So if you are to live 60 years, then your period of youth is only 10 years!
What you can do in your youth is far more than what you can do in your old age.
So if you do not strive to do good deeds
now, what are the chances that you will be able to do them in old age when your body becomes weak and your capabilities diminish considerably?
And here's the part that should make you take heed right away!
You have only 10 years of YOUTH.....based upon our calculations just now. And out of those 10 years you will lose quite a number of years to Shaytan and your evil nafs!! :exhausted
If we deduct 5 years of time stolen, that would leave you with only 5 years of YOUTH in which you worked.....for the Hereafter. :omg:
Therefore, recognize that you don't really have much time. If you realize this, it should help you not to waste a single minute of your precious time. May Allah help you make good use of the time He's given you. Ameen!
