Question:
Assalamu’alaikum,
Dear respected shuyukh,
This may seem like a strange question, and if it is please forgive me for that – but is there anything one can do to prevent ‘premature’ aging of oneself and – look, be virile and feel healthy long up to 50 years of age or even over.
Perhaps from my level of understanding there are certain things that are definite such as death and old age, as seen from everyday life and as explained through hadith etc..but this has left me with more questions than answers.
Jazakallahu khair.

A`udhubillahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem

{Say: “There has been appointed for you a Day, which you can neither delay nor advance by a single moment.”} (Saba 34:30)
No one can delay the time of their death that Allah (swt) has decreed for them. To keep oneself in the best health there are numerous cures mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, such as honey and blackseed. As always, check with your doctor before beginning any new diet.
