Take advantage of five before five, a talk by Ustādh Abdul Hakeem Mitchell (hafidhahullāh)
• The ḥadīth: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you become busy, and your life before your death
• Every blessing calls for gratitude, and gratitude is shown by using the blessing in obedience to Allāh
• Youth is the time to seek knowledge, starting with the fundamentals, and to choose righteous companions, for a person is upon the religion of his close friend
• Shaykh al-Fawzān (hafidhahullāh): worship is of three types, with the body, with wealth, and with both together, such as Ḥajj
• Charity does not decrease wealth, so pay the zakāh and give in the way of Allāh while you are able
• Do not waste free time on idle speech, and rectify the heart, for the whole body follows it
• Actions are judged by their endings, and only a person's deeds stay with him in the grave
