"Dead at 25, Buried at 75"

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم 

"Dead at 25, Buried at 75"

Remember, every human has a purpose: to worship Allah and live according to His guidance. "And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me." (Quran 51:56). 

Worship is not limited to rituals like prayer or fasting but encompasses every action taken to please Allah. 

Life is a continuous opportunity to worship, learn, and grow closer to Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) emphasized the importance of using one's time wisely:

"Take advantage of five matters before five matters: your youth before you become old, your health before you fall sick, your wealth before you become poor, your free time before you become busy, and your life before your death." (Musnad Ahmad). 

We should remain active and purposeful throughout our lives rather than figuratively dying at a young age and simply waiting for physical death. 

Every phase of life, including youth and old age, has unique roles, challenges, and opportunities for growth and spiritual development. This reminds us against losing purpose, motivation, or spiritual vitality at any age. Every moment of life is valuable and should be used to draw closer to Allah, thus remaining "alive" spiritually and actively until one's actual death.

The Quran warns against becoming heedless and indifferent:

"And be not like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget themselves. Those are the defiantly disobedient." (Quran 59:19)
