Twilight of life makes perception more vivid (Surah Al-Mumin)

[Ruhi_Rose]

 


When one reaches old age (those who have a life long enough to grow old), the entire path of life stands like an abstract picture of a winding course of a river behind them.  It helps those with depth and rationale to reflect and understand the ultimate purpose of life and its temporary nature in this earthly world.  Thus, true enough that at an old age one has little to look forward to.  But one has a lot to look back at.


"He it is Who created you from dust, then from a drop (of seed) then from a clot, then bringeth you forth as a child, then (ordaineth) that ye attain full strength and afterward that ye become old men - though some among you die before - and that ye reach an appointed term, that haply ye may understand."  (40:67) Surah Al-Mumin


Praise be to Allah
