Allah says in the Quran : “And Allah has created you and then He will cause you to die ; and of you there are some who are sent back to senility, so that they know nothing after having known (much). Truly, Allah is All Knowing, All powerful”

Narrated Anas bin Malik [RA]: Allah’s messenger (salAllahu alayhi wa salam) used to invoke Allah saying: “Oh Allah! I seek refuge with you from miserliness, from laziness; from old age, from the punishment in the grave ; from the fitnah of dajjjal ; and from the fitnah of life and death.

- Humans are created from dust as Allah is All Powerful
- Allah gives some people long life. The previous nations had much longer life spans
- Humans get old, and as they get old, they forget parts of their knowledge whereas Allah is All Wise and All Knowing
- The Prophet (saw) seeked refuge from trails and triblutations like dajjal. All the prophets warned against the dajjal.
- Allah has a plan for everyone, recorded in a book
- We should use our time wisely and the prophet saw seeked refuge from laziness.
- No one can change Allah’s plan except through dua
- The plan we make is subject to our ability
- Allah’s attributes are eternal i.e existing for ever
- We must make dua for ourselves as we are always in need of Allahs help
- We must use our time wisely and to the best of our ability
