In a Hadith found in Jami At Tirmidhi, number 2417, the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, warned that a person’s feet will not move on Judgment Day until they answer five questions.
The first is about their life and what they did with it. This refers to the time given to a person. A muslim should understand the reality of death that it often comes at an unexpected time. A muslim should not assume they will reach elderly age as many die before this occurs. In reality, no matter what age one reaches everyone admits that they life went by in a flash. A muslim should not believe they will obey Allah, the Exalted, such as attending the Mosques when they reach elderly age. As this is wishful thinking. Even if one reaches this age, as they were too engrossed in the material world during their life the change in their environment will have little positive effect on their character and obedience to Allah, the Exalted. A muslim should instead utilize the time they have been granted instead of delaying by obeying Allah, the Exalted, by fulfilling His commands, refraining from His prohibitions and by facing destiny with patience according to the traditions of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him.
The next question advised in the main Hadith under discussion will be about their knowledge and what they did with it. It is important for muslims to strive to acquire useful worldly and religious knowledge and more importantly act on it in order to obtain their needs and the needs of their dependents according to the teachings of Islam and in order to obey Allah, the Exalted, correctly. The one who remains ignorant or fails to act on their knowledge is unlikely to achieve success in either worlds. A person will only reach their desired location when they first find the correct path and then journey down it. But if a person fails to locate the correct path meaning, obtain knowledge or fails to journey down it meaning, act on their knowledge, they will not reach their desired destination meaning, success in both worldly and religious matters.
