Scared of old age?

Now a days old age homes are popping up.We are hearing many cases of Alzheimer’s and some are scared too. May Allah keep us all in afiya Āmēn 

If we are habitually in the habit of reciting morning and evening duas or duas after salah then we are seeking Allah’s protection from senile old age . سبحان الله 

There is always a solution in our Deen even before we anticipate the problem. That's why we need to stick to Sunnah and this is a reminder for all of us to continue reciting azkaar regularly.

I will share duas here if anyone wants to learn. 

One of the Dua after salah 

اَللّٰھُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنَ الْجُبْنِ وَ اَعُوْذُبِکَ اَنْ اُرَدَّ اِلٰی اَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ وَ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدُّنْیَا وَ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ۔ 

O Allah! Verily I seek refuge in You from cowardice, and *I seek refuge in You from being returned to an abject old age*, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of this world and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. 

Another dua is from Morning & evening duas is 
اَصْبَحْنَا وَ اَصْبَحَ الْمُلْکُ ِللهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ ِللهِ لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِیْکَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْکُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَ ھُوَ عَلٰی کُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ، رَبِّ اَسْاَلُکَ خَیْرَ مَا فِیْ ھٰذَا الْیَوْمِ وَ خَیْرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ وَ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِیْ ھٰذَا الْیَوْمِ وَ شَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ، رَبِّ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنَ الْکَسَلِ وَ سُوْءِ الْکِبَرِ رَبِّ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ عَذَابٍ فِی النَّارِ وَ عَذَابٍ فِی الْقَبْرِ۔


We and the entire dominion have entered a new morning for Allah, and all praise is due to Allah, there is no true deity except Allah, the One, Who has no partner with Him. His is the Sovereignty and all Praise is due to Him and He has power over all things. My Lord, I ask you for the good of this day and the good that follows it, and I seek refuge in You from the evil of this day and the evil that follows it. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from laziness, and from the helplessness of old age. My Lord, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the hellfire and the punishment in the grave.

جزاكم الله خيرًا

Day 21, Answer 21, #AyahLookup   Challenge

(Question was posted here: https://quranreflect.com/posts/23640#comments) 

We are Weak! 
Sorry if this statement hurts our ego! 
Sorry if this goes against whatever motivational quote we may have read in a self-help industry, 
Sorry if this shakes our self-confidence (Hint: in Islam we are taught to honor ourselves, but only have confidence and trust in Allah! so there is nothing in ourselves to be confident about)

You might be reading this Ayah in the peak of your strength, 
or you might be closer to one of your weak moments of life: the weakness of childhood, or the weakness of old age. 
Regardless, 
Just the fact that we go through these stages without our will, is another indication of our weakness. 

We ask Allah to keep the strongest asset in our lives: our relationship and connection with Him and His book, Ameen
