"I longed for marriage"
I longed for marriage.and I got married...
but life without children is deserting.
Thus I longed to be blessed with children.
and I got children...
but within no time my small apartment made me uncomfortable.
I therefore longed for bigger house with garden.
Well, I got it, though with much efforts.
Yes, I possessed a mansion, but my children have grown up by then
Hence, I longed for them got married.
I now have them married,
yet official responsibilities give me fatigue
Now I resorted to retirement, so to get some rest.
Now I am retired, became single just as I was after graduation.
After graduation I notice, I approached life, but now, I bid life farewell.
Still I do have ambitions.
I therefore longed for Quranic memorization...
but my memory betrayed me.
I longed to frequent fasting...
yet my health condition won't allow me to do it.
I longed for night devotion "Qiyamul layl"...
but my feet could no longer carry me well...
Verily the Prophet صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ made it categorical that
"Make profit out of five things before five things over took you.
- Your youthfulness before the old age
- Your health before illness
- Your affluence before austerity
- Your free time before the busy moment
- Your life before your death
If your daily routine is empty of the following activities, be quick and start including them in your routine:
- * 2 Raka'at of Duha
- * Daily Quranic recitation routine
- * Qiyamul layl
- * Alms giving /supporting the needy
- * Spreading good word/nasiha/salam
May Allah ﷻ continue to help us against the satanic whispers and evils of our own souls. May Allah help us balance our desires of duniya with deen.
Ameen ya rabbi.
