(2014-05-05 KA SABAQ) Significance of reaching 40 years of age

Daily Lesson In URDU By Hazrat Maulana Yunus Palanpuri (D.B)

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh"  (May the peace, mercy, and blessings of Allah be with you).

Maulana in his todays lessons tell us about the significance of reaching 40 years of age, 40 years of age is a very important milestone in the life of a man (woman). The most important thing to be done when one reaches the age of forty is that he/she should make a re-assessment of his own personality, thank Allah for His favours and pray for parents & off-springs. The repentance to Allah should be renewed. One should recite the supplication mentioned in The Nobel Quran :Surah Al Ahqaf ( The Curved Sand Hills ) Verse :15 below 

46:15 -  Wawassayna alinsana biwalidayhi ihsanan hamalathu ommuhu kurhan wawadaAAathu kurhan wahamluhu wafisaluhu thalathoona shahran hattaitha balagha ashuddahu wabalagha arbaAAeena sanatan qala rabbi awziAAnee an ashkura niAAmataka allatee anAAamta AAalayya waAAalawalidayya waan aAAmala salihan tardahu waaslih lee fee thurriyyatee innee tubtu ilayka wainnee mina almuslimeena

46:15 - NOW [among the best of the deeds which] We have enjoined upon man is goodness towards his parents.  In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth; and her bearing him and his utter dependence on her took thirty months. and so, when he attains to full maturity and reaches forty years,  he [that is righteous] prays: “O my Sustainer! Inspire me so that I may forever be grateful for those blessings of Thine with which Thou hast graced me and my parents, and that I may do what is right [in a manner] that will meet with Thy goodly acceptance; and grant me righteousness in my offspring [as well]. Verily, unto Thee have I turned in repentance: [19] for, verily, I am of those who have surrendered themselves unto Thee!”

Now give a thought to how important this milestone is. And at the same time those who have already crossed this age should also read.  We should be thankful to Allah that he has given us an opportunity of forgiveness at this stage of our lives. But for that we need to act. So, whoever has reached the age of 40 should get his (her) act together and utilize this opportunity given by Allah. Those who shall be reaching that stage in days to come (Insha’Allah), be prepared.  My father Maulana Umar Palanpuri ( Rahimullah ) made a point that I don't miss  this Life One time Opportunity , so he suggested me to read it after every prayer and by the time I reach the age of Forty ( Inshallah) , Supplication will be made . So I request you all to please memorize this Supplication and make a Habit of reading it after every Prayer .
