CONCISE ADVICE

Hadhrat Umar (R.A) once came to Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhiwa‐ sallam) and saw him weeping. When he enquired about the reason for the tears, Rasulullah (sallallahu‐alayhi‐wasallam) said, "Allah has declared that He feels ashamed to punish an old man because of his age, then why is the old man not ashamed to disobey Allah?"

The tongue of every old person should be moist with excessive thanks to Allah. He should be ashamed to sin before the scribe angels (Kiraamun Kaatibeen) and should therefore avoid all sins. He never knows when he will die. In fact, crops are harvested as soon as they ripen. Youth is expected after childhood, adulthood is expected after adolescence and old age is expected after adulthood. What can be expected after old age besides death?
