The Prophet ﷺ once 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 work, and your life before your death."

Every one of these five will come to an end — the only question is whether we used them before they did.

We often live as though we have unlimited time, unlimited energy, and unlimited chances. This hadith is a direct reminder that we don't — and that the window we have right now is the one Allah will ask us about.
