Generally, the truth is hard to put into practice but once observed it gives a fulfilling experience.

Human beings are well aware that beyond youth is old age. But during their youth they forget that old age will appear later on.

O Allah, I have two dreadful enemies, both are invisible i.e Satan and my own nafs. The closest enemy and the most dangerous is nafs which is within me. It is more dangerous than the condemned satan as it is the pathway for satan.
I seek Your protection against the evil deeds of my own nafs and satan. You are my Only Protector, please help me O Allah. Aameen
