Don't Let Your Age Stop You

Said Ash-Shaykh Saalih al-Usaymee - hafidhahullaah:

'When a person is of strong determination, age will not dissuade him from his goals. Al-Imaam Al-Bukhaaree said in his Saheeh: 'The Companions of the Prophet - sallaallahu alahyi wa sallam - learnt at their old age.' It is said: 'Knowledge and action are twin partners; their mother is Strong Determination.'

‏إذا كان المرءُ ذا هِمَّةٍ عاليةٍ؛ فالسنُّ لاتمنعه مقصودَه، قال البخاريُّ في الصحيح: وتعلَّم أصحابُ النبيِّ ﷺ كباراً. وقدقيل:العلمُ والعملُ توأمان أمُّهما عُلوُّ الهمة.
