Birthday, that is.
I read this article about the probability of anyone living till that age and being optimistic about growing old was one of them. Now would you be eager to grow that old and what factors are you considering here?
Re: Are you optimistic about living up to your 100th ?
No, i dont want to live that old ,only one thing that is encouraging is that the white hair of a muslim will save him from jahanum. So if my old age is beneficial for my akhirat and is with afiyat then it is ok other wise i personaly would like to end up a.s.a.p once ALLAH has accepted my deeds.
No need to waste time here then.
Sorry but that is how i feel ;)
Re: Are you optimistic about living up to your 100th ?
If Allah wants me to live to my 100th and as long as I stay relatively healthy and independent, I'd be ok with that. What I absolutely dread is a medical condition where I'd be dependant on someone else. May Allah protect me from that.
My grandfather who used to be a very active person in his liftime suffered a stroke and was then bedridden for several years until he passed away. Seeing him suffer like that was agonizing.

I feel the very same way.....
I would like to live for as long as I am able to take care of myself. Of course the ultimate decision rests with the Almighty.....
