Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku berlindung kepada-Mu
daripada pikun dan buruknya usia tua..
O Allah, I seek refuge with You from old age and a bad old
age (decrepitude, senescence, senility)..
The Prophet n advises us to make the following dua to protect
us from old age. Imam al-Nasāi narrated that Anas zsaid: The
Messenger of Allah l used to seek refuge by saying these words:
�‫ﻢ‬ُ‫ﻬ‬ّٰ‫ﻠ‬‫ل‬َ‫ا‬َ‫ﻦ‬ِ‫ﻣ‬ َ‫ِﻚ‬‫ﺑ‬ ُ‫ذ‬‫ﻮ‬ُ‫ﻋ‬�‫أ‬ ِّ‫ﱐ‬

O Allah, I seek refuge with You from laziness, old age,
cowardice, miserliness, a bad old age, the tribulation of the
Dajjal and the torment of the grave.
The knowledge of our lifespan is sure with Allah l and Him
alone. Allah l grants life to who He wills and likewise, takes it
away from whom He wills. No one can say for certain how long their
appointed time here on Earth is. Whether you have thought about
reaching old age or not, only Allah Most High knows what your state
will be in the end.
The Prophet n made many references to old age, but always sought
refuge in Allah l from the trials and difficulties of this time.
Memory loss, joint pain, ill health, weakness, fragility, incontinence
and the lack of awareness are all signs of a bad old age – may
Allah protect us. Ameen..
May Allah l grant us life for as long as it is good for us and protect
us from the trials of old age. May Allah l give us a good ending and
help us preserve our independence and dignity to the end of our
days, Ameen.

Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku berlindung dengan-Mu
daripada lemah, malas, pengecut, kedekut, terlalu tua,
bersikap kasar, cuai, hina, dan hidup melarat kerana
kefakiran. Aku berlindung dengan-Mu daripada kefakiran,
kekafiran, kefasikan, bersikap memecah-belah, berpura-
pura, ingin diketahui (sum‘ah) dan menunjuk-nunjuk. Aku
juga berlindung dengan-Mu daripada pekak, bisu, gila,
penyakit sopak, kusta dan penyakit yang keji.
