🕌 Worship in the home · #121

In old age, how do we fill our free time with worship and lasting good deeds?

The golden years are a season of harvesting reward, because the time once taken up by work and children is now wide open. Set a firm daily routine of worship: prayer early in its time, morning and evening wirid, and reading the Qur'an as you are able. Join classes at the mosque to nourish your faith and friendships. Invest in ongoing charity (amal jariah) that continues after death, such as contributing to welfare projects, teaching the young, or spreading beneficial knowledge. Keep up family ties and pray for others. Make each day a step closer to Allah, so that the rest of your life is the most blessed. See du'a & prayer.
