The Prophet (peace be upon him) told us that we should value and make use of 5 things before 5 other things: 1. Our wealth before poverty 2. Our health before sickness 3. Our youth before old age 4. Our free time before we become busy 5. Our life before death My reflection on this is that Allah wants us to make use of times when we are strong. We are to remember Him during good times, and as a result He will remember us (as in help us) when times aren't as good!
