Take Advantage of 5 Blessings Before 5: A Prophetic Advice for a Fulfilling Life

Take Advantage of 5 Blessings Before 5

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said, 

“Take advantage of five before five: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your riches before your poverty, your free time before your busy, and your life before your death.”

Shu’ab al-Imān lil-Bayhaqī [10250]. 

Action plan:

1. Youth Before Old Age:

 Seek Knowledge & increase in acts of Worship.

2. Health Before Illness:

 Do righteous actions while you are in good health, because sickness might prevent you from performing them. 

3. Riches Before Poverty:

 Give your Zakāh and give Sadaqah generously to help those in need.

4. Free Time Before Your Busy:

 Utilize your free time to engage in acts of worship.

Use your time to reflect on your life, create a vision and make intentions for future goals.

5. Life Before Death:

   Live each day with the awareness that life is temporary. Be busy with good deeds.
