$BTC In the atmosphere of this world, the lifespan of any living creature is not measured by years, but by the number of breaths it takes and gives. Since this number is not known precisely, or cannot be fully calculated, it is expressed in vague terms as “years,” such as “X died at the age of 56,” and so on. I cannot give you the secret of immortality in this world’s atmosphere, but I can give you a few hints that a long life can end in your bed. Give plenty of charity; charity protects you from accidents and calamities, and it protects you from the cause of a terrible death. That is, you would not want to have someone shoot a gun at your head, or die trapped inside a blazing car. In your bed, surrendering your soul with a very old, extremely aged body is the last wish and fantasy of many people. My second advice: when you are breathing in and breathing out, breathe with a slow and calm rhythm. You can do this: as you take each breath and give each breath, remember the beautiful names of your Creator, and give plenty of charity. If you do so, with ALLAH’s permission, the way you phrase your years of life can exceed 100 years. Also, with ALLAH’s permission, you will be far from the sudden and terrible death referred to as “donkey death.”
