never fall for the hoax that you should be irreligious while you're young and then be pious when you're older... for one, we don't know if we'll live tomorrow... but even besides that...
I am shocked at how many irreligious immoral old ppl are out there. I'm used to the idea that old ppl are supposed to be religious and with morals. these days I am shocked and amazed at how many old ppl are going around who are impious, irreligious and lack morals. I believe out here in the west there is an epidemic of immoral godless old people.
I'm shocked even to be talking about old people like that. I think it is bizarre and abnormal that we have so many irreligious old ppl running around. old ppl are supposed to be sternly lecturing us to have piety and morals or gently encouraging us to be like that.
I become baffled by the situation and then I think- "you know- they must have started as irreligious young people".
Isn't that so? Presumably- they were irreligious young people. Then they became irreligious old people. Mean. Cranky. A dark cloud to those around them. Their family members don't want to be around them or don't respect them. I swear by Allah I saw a cadaan cussing at his elderly mother!
And I don't approve of his action but I know his mother (we had a business arrangement) and she was of the type I'm talking about. But it's far from just being her.
So you see? Be an irreligious young person- you may just grow up to be an irreligious elderly person! You might think "I'mma stop doing these sins and then be pious later".... that might be your plan but Allah's plan might be to place a seal on your heart and you end up never becoming pious.
Be an irreligious young person, you might end up an irreligious old person- with lack of piety, lack of manners and morals, hated by family members and by the people.
Be a pious young person. Insha'Allah, Allah will make you even more pious as you age, Allah will guide you and grant you knowledge and insha'Allah you will be loved by your family members and by the people and they will love you and see you as a beacon of piety and wisdom.
