There was an old man who was 80 years old. He used to walk with the aid of a walking stick. One day, as he was walking on the street, the emperor met him. Astonished by his old age, he asked: "How old are you?"

Old man: "I am 4 years old."
Emperor: "I don't believe you."
Old man: "How old do you think I am?"
Emperor: "About 80 years old."
Old man: "You are right.But out of 80 years, subtract 76 years."
Emperor: "Why?"

Old man: "Because for 76 years, I have wasted my life. I did not perform any good deeds. Allah's Commands, I never obeyed. Five time Salaah, I never prayed. Hungry beggars, I turned away. Holy Ramadhaan came, but I never fasted. Never gave any Zakaah. All charities, I ignored. Hajj was fardh, but I would not part with my money. But now, it is four years since I have come to my senses and have started to obey Allah and perform good deeds. Therefore, I am 4 years old; and the other 76 years, I have wasted."~ by Shamima Khalifa Age 8

As Salaamu Alaykum,

This is an amazing incident. It just shows how valuable time is. Even in Jannah man will regret nothing except for the time he didn't spend in Allah's worship.

May Allah save us all from this regret. Aameen.
