Five before five.

Assalamu Alaykum brothers and sisters,

I would like to share one hadeeth with you all. The following hadeeth has a very deep meaning and should be understood by all.

The Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam has said:
"Take benefit of five before five:

Your YOUTH before your OLD AGE,

Your HEALTH before your SICKNESS,

Your WEALTH before your POVERTY,

Your FREE-TIME before you are PREOCCUPIED,

& Your LIFE before your DEATH."

Praise be to Allah who bestowed the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam with Jawaami'ul Kalim (conciseness).

Surely, this Hadeeth is few in words but holds a great meaning for those who understand and ponder.

This is a narration by ibn Abbas in which we are asked to take the benefit of five things before the occurrence of five things.

May Allah give us the ability to understand the truth and help us be on the right path.

Aameen.
