 “Be old, but don’t be useless” is a powerful reminder that aging does not mean losing purpose or value. It encourages embracing later life with a mindset focused on contribution, engagement, and continuous growth. Aging can be a stage of productivity, learning, and meaningful participation in society rather than withdrawal. One important way to remain useful is to keep learning. Staying curious, exploring new ideas, and developing new skills keep the mind active and engaged.

  Keep Hope in Allah Hope is one of the most powerful emotions a human being can experience. It is the light that keeps us going in the darkest of times. For a believer, this hope is not vague or blind—it is rooted firmly in faith and trust in Allah. Islam teaches that no matter how difficult life becomes, a Muslim should never despair because Allah’s mercy is boundless, and His wisdom surpasses all understanding.

No matter how far a person has gone, Allah is always ready to accept...

In many societies today, the elderly are seen as less productive or even burdensome. This unfortunate perception can lead to a deep, painful sense of worthlessness in old age. As people grow older, they may begin to feel invisible, neglected, or no longer needed, especially when they retire from careers, experience the loss of loved ones, or face physical limitations.Worthlessness in Old Age, The quiet loneliness that can come with aging is often filled not only with physical ailments but with emotional wounds that run even deeper.
