Duties of the Believer......
What is his duty if he is young?
• He should know the value of youth.
• He should use his enthusiasm and energy in the way of Allah.
• He should look at how nature is excited in the spring season and take an example for himself. The comprehension that he reaches from evaluating this season should be striving like ants instead of buzzing like a cicada. He
should work hard with his youthful energy.
• It is important to remember that youth comes only once. All the opportunities given are for once only. In this respect, it is essential to revive the youth by taking the young companions as an example. We should not forget how they lived in the spiritual joy and how they were like moths around the
Messenger of Allah, racing to fulfill his commands.
What is his duty if he is old?
• He should strive to be a compassionate and merciful person, setting a good example for new generations with the consciousness of being a good
servant of Allah until the end of his life.
• He should take a lesson from the falling leaves and drying trees of autumn and his own state, and consider the picture of his life part of this landscape. At the beginning of his life, a person experiences a tremendous vitality,
freshness and productivity in the spring, while he goes the opposite end in his old age just like autumn. He sees that the trees in the graveyard start to wave at him – welcoming him to his new home.
In this respect, he should increase his preparation for the hereafter by realizing that he is in the time of sunset, should do his best before it is too late.
