We chase wealth, we chase status, we chase dreams.
But ask the one who lies awake in pain,
Ask the one who cannot lift their body from the bed,
Ask the one whose breath feels heavy in their chestâŠ
And they will tell you health is worth more than gold.
Prophet Ayyub (AS) had it all â wealth, family, strength.
But when his health was taken, his world changed.
His patience became his greatest wealth,
And his dua became his only language.
The Sahabah would say: âAmong the greatest duas is to ask Allah for aafiyah (wellbeing), for without it, nothing else can be enjoyed.â
What is money, if the body is too weak to rise from the mat?
What is success, if sickness keeps you from tasting its sweetness?
What is life, if your health is quietly slipping away?
Health is an amanah â a trust from Allah.
It is the hidden luxury we forget to count,
Until illness reminds us of its price.
So today, pause. Reflect.
Guard your health before it is taken.
Nourish your body before it breaks.
Value your wellbeing before it is a memory.
Because when you have your healthâŠ
Every dream, every prayer, every blessing becomes possible. đ
