The Prophet (peace be upon him), used to call on Muslims to take the initiative to do good deeds before any obstacles arise. For instance, he said, "Lose no time to do good deeds before you are caught up by one of seven calamities awaiting you:
1. a starvation which may impair your wisdom;
2. a prosperity which may mislead you;
3. an ailment which may damage your health;
4. an old age which may harm your senses;
5. a sudden death;
6. the Dajjal (Antichrist);
7. or Doomsday, which is indeed the hardest and most bitter."
[at-Tirmidhi, al-Baihaqi]
The above Hadith urges Muslims to take the initiative, and not to delay good deeds; our lives are not free from impediments, such as those calamities, which can prevent us from accomplishing what could have been done earlier. Wise are those who grab available opportunities before being handicapped by obstacles.
