Staying Young Through Desire

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) taught that although one grows old, having a desire for life and wealth can keep them young.

'Anas bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w)said: "The son of Adam grows old. But two things keep him young: Desire for life and desire for wealth".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ يَهْرَمُ ابْنُ آدَمَ وَيَشِبُّ مِنْهُ اثْنَانِ الْحِرْصُ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالْحِرْصُ عَلَى الْعُمُرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad's hadith teaches us that although we grow old, having a strong desire for life and wealth can help us stay young in spirit. This means that if we have goals and ambitions in life, it will give us the motivation to keep going even when times are tough or when we feel like giving up. Having a strong desire for wealth is also important as it encourages us to work hard and strive towards achieving our goals so that we can be successful in life. It is important to remember though, that these desires should not be taken too far as they could lead to greed or selfishness which are not desirable traits according to Islamic teachings.
