What are the real benefits of old age?

Muhammad Rafiq Etesami

It is narrated on the authority of Hazrat Usama bin Sharik that some Bedouins said: “O Prophet of Allah, should we not cure our diseases? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Why not treat it, because Allah has not created any disease which cannot be cured but one disease? The Companions R.A. asked: What is that disease, O Messenger of Allaah? So he said, "old age" (meaning there is no cure for it) Tirmidhi.

This hadith reveals that Allah Almighty has created a cure for every disease but old age is incurable.
The Qur'ans makes mention, "But [let them always remember that] if We lengthen a human being’s days, We also cause him to decline in his powers [when he grows old]: will they not, then, use their reason? (Ya-Sin 36:68)
This the reality that despite we find a cure for every disease but the real cure is by Allah’s command. And there had been no patient in the world If the cure would have in the medicine. Because to cure for disease is the command of Allah and the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet and it is hope of healing after taking medicine.
But, particularly there is no cure for old age, and no matter how good an old man may be, but he cannot prevent himself from weakness, physical breakdown and bone damage. If someone uses medicine to become “again young” but, it can be a temporary benefit but Not permanent.

The real benefit of old age, as mentioned in a “hadith Qudsi,” that whenever a person with white hair, raises his hands before Allah Almighty asking something, his prayer is generally accepted.
It is proper for old ones that they should prepare themselves to meet with Allah by love to Him and by ‘zikr’ in abundance.
