"A person is always startled when he hears himself seriously called an old man for the first time." ~Oliver W. Holmes, Sr.
I believed that most of us who has reached age at forty experience this feeling. When we go to the market or restaurant, the waiter or cashier will start asking you with this ..." Pakcik,pakcik...bla,bla!!" Then we realized that we are in old man club already. Last few years, may be we still have been called "Bang, bang...”. Worst when you hold your small kid at the hypermarket and somebody asking you "Cutenyer budak ni...cucu ke?" lol...

My dear friends,
Let quote be as a qoute...
The most important for us, we thankful to Allah for every thing we have. Allah gave us 40 years to look around and study His signs, and to come to a conclusion by the age of 40 that He is our only Lord and Master, and submit to Him. As a muslim, the age 40 is referred as the maturity age in the Qur’an. Our Prophet ( Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. revealed his Prophethood also at age of 40 years as instructed by Allah s.w.t.
In Surat-Al-Ahkaf (verse 15), a believer at his maturity age prays for being a grateful person:
“We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: In pain did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth. The carrying of the (child) to his weaning is (a period of) thirty months. At length, when he reaches the age of full strength and attains forty years, he says, “O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for Thy favor which Thou has bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness such as Thou may approve; and be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to Thee and truly do I bow (to You) in Islam.” (Al-Ahqaf, 15)
Make sure your thankful to Allah (swt) this day and every day... InsyaAllah!
