"Prayer and Practice for Longevity and Blessings"

"Longevity should be used to do good things in accordance with the commands of Allah SWT."

Dream - The age of every human being is already determined by Allah SWT. It is not always that someone's life will be taken by Allah SWT when they are old.

Prayers and Practices for Longevity and Blessings

Because there are also many people whose lives are not long. So, the matter of age remains a secret of Allah SWT. The task of a human being is to prepare good deeds throughout life in this world as provisions for the hereafter.

Besides that, utilize the age given by Allah SWT as best as possible. Namely, by doing the things that are commanded and staying away from every prohibition of His.

"But don't forget, also ask for a blessed age.\r\n\r\nBy doing so, the age given by Allah SWT every year will not be in vain. Instead, it is used for the path of Allah SWT."

Prayer for Long Life

Allahumma akthir maali, waladai, wabarak li fi ma a'taitani wa atil hayati 'ala ta'atika, wa ahsin 'amali wa'aghfir li. Translation:

"Good Morals"

The first practice in order to obtain a long and blessed life is to have good morals. Morals are very important in Islamic teachings. A person's deeds can multiply goodness and prolong life in obedience. "There is no deed that, when placed on the scale, is heavier than noble morals. Indeed, a person with noble morals can reach the status of someone who fasts and prays diligently." (HR. At-Tirmidzi in Shahih Al-Jaami')

"Bersilaturahmi" in English is "visiting each other to strengthen relationships".

The next practice for a long life is by maintaining good relations through silaturahmi. This is very important to maintain good relationships within blood ties or with those who do not have such ties. "Whoever wants their sustenance to be expanded and their remaining life to be prolonged, they should maintain the ties of kinship (silaturahim)." (Hadith Al-Bukhari 5986)

"Do Good with Neighbors"

The closest relative to us is our neighbor. When we experience something, of course, the person who first helps us or whom we ask for help is our neighbor. Therefore, it is important to maintain a good relationship with our neighbors. "Maintaining family ties, good manners, and doing good to our neighbors can prosper the country and increase our lifespan." (HR. Ahmad No. 25259)
