Ibn Abbas, may Allah be satisfied with them both, was reported to have said, The Prophet, may the blessings and peace of Allah, once said, Many persons are taken in by tow blessings: health and leisure, reported by Al-Bukhari (2). On the authority of Ibn Abbas, may Allah be satisfied with them both, that the Prophet (PBUH) told a man in the course of exhorting, “Seize five matters before their nullifiers: your strength before your aging, your health before your illness, your richness before your poorness, your leisure before your business and your life before your death.” (Reported by Al-Hakem, and deemed it as sound Hadith) (3) Being about to enter upon a new year, it is our duty, then, to make good use of our times and race for good deeds before we are held back therefrom by illness or death. Oh Allah, wake our conscience to seize the rest of our lives, help us increase our good deeds, wake our hearts from hopes for eternity, remind us of imminent death, make firm our beliefs, guide us to good deeds, and forgive us, our parents and all Muslims. May the blessings and peace of Allah be upon Mohammed, our Prophet!
