Don't wait

In the Name of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful

Assalaamu alaykum

We often times do not value what we have until we are deprived of it. But when the angel of death come upon us, it would be too late for anything. We can't go back. Sicknesses and death are human weaknesses which we have no power to escape.

Abdullah bin `Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said, "Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of my shoulder and said, 'Be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." The sub−narrator added: Ibn `Umar used to say, "If you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death." (Bukhari)

A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked, "O Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)! Which charity is the most superior in reward?" He replied, "The charity which you practice while you are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty and wish to become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of approaching death and then say, 'Give so much to such and such, and so much to such and such.' And it has already belonged to such and such (as it is too late)." (Bukhari)

And Allah knows best.

May Allah bless your day. Ameen.
