In Islam, Roz, aging is a natural process decreed by Allah. 🏵️🏵️🏵️

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Every one of you will be gathered in old age, except for one who will be taken [by Allah] before then" (Muslim).

This hadith highlights the inevitability of aging, but it also emphasizes the importance of taking care of oneself in preparation for old age.

Muslims are encouraged to take care of their bodies and minds as a means of pleasing Allah.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Your body has a right over you, and your soul has a right over you. Your body has the right that you should feed it with the lawful and treat it with kindness. Your soul has the right that you should lower it in prayer" (Bukhari and Muslim).

This hadith emphasizes the importance of treating our bodies with kindness and respect, which includes taking care of them as we age.

Additionally, Muslims are encouraged to remain active and engaged in their communities as they grow older.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The elderly among you are in the position of the Prophets, so be kind to them" (Bukhari and Muslim). This hadith highlights the importance of treating our elderly with respect and kindness, and it encourages us to remain active and engaged in our communities as we age.

Furthermore, Islam places a strong emphasis on learning and seeking knowledge throughout one's life.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "Seek knowledge even if it is in China" (Bukhari and Muslim).

This hadith emphasizes the importance of continuing to learn and seek knowledge throughout our lives, which can help to keep our minds sharp and prevent cognitive decline as we age.

In the end, while aging is a natural part of life, Muslims are encouraged to approach it with a positive and proactive mindset.

By taking care of our bodies and minds, remaining engaged in our communities, and continuing to learn and grow, we can age gracefully and with dignity.
