Take advantage of five before five

Sunday, January 5, 2025

اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ: شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ، وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ، وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ، وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغْلِكَ، وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ
Transliteration

Ightanim khamsan qabla khams: shababaka qabla haramik, wa sihhataka qabla saqamik, wa ghinaka qabla faqrik, wa faraghaka qabla shughlik, wa hayataka qabla mawtik.

Translation

Take advantage of five before five: your youth before old age, your health before sickness, your wealth before poverty, your free time before you're busy, and your life before your death.

Narrated by Ibn Abbas·Al-Mustadrak of al-Hakim 7846 (sahih)

One saying of the Prophet ﷺ a day.

Pair this with the daily verse, the 99 Names, and a few beads of dhikr. Small things, repeated, leave the deepest mark.
