Ayat 10. He it is Who sends down water (rain) from the sky; from it you
drink and from it (grows) the vegetation on which you send your cattle to
pasture;
Ayat 11. With it He causes to grow for you the crops,
the olives, the date-palms, the grapes, and every kind of fruit. Verily! In this
is indeed an evident proof and a manifest sign for people who give thought.
Ayat 12. And He has subjected to you the night and
the day, the sun and the moon; and the stars are subjected by His Command.
Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand.
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with
him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Allah excuses and grants forgiveness to
a person until he attains the age of sixty years".
[Al-Bukhari Book 08,
Chapter 76, Hadith #
428].
Lesson : As
mentioned above in Surah An-Nahl Ayat
12.Surely, in this are proofs for people who understand.
1. This Hadith makes it evident that
Allah does not punish any individual or nation without warning them
first.
2. The second point is that a person who is
given sixty years of life and yet he neglects the obligations of Faith, will
have no
excuse.
3. After the age of sixty years,
one must not neglect his religious obligations because then one is closer to
death. Although one may die even at a young age, in youth one is still hopeful
of life. After crossing the age of sixty, to hope for longer age, while leading
a sinful life and defying Divine injunctions constitute a disastrous conduct.
May Allah save us from doing so.
