Ramadan: Day 14 - Five Before Five

"Take advantage of five matters before five other matters: your youth before you become old; and your health before you fall sick; and your richness before you become poor; and your free time before you become busy; and your life before your death." - The Messenger of Allah (Al Hakim)


Often times we spend so much time thinking about how we wish things were different in our lives that we forget to appreciate the things we hope will never change. We only realize blessings in their absence. When they are there, we take them for granted. When they are gone, we add them to our things to lament about. 

May Allah help us be aware of our blessings before it is too late. Ameen.
