Serve the people in your youth

Occasionally when we would pay a visit to the Imam we would request him to give us a piece of advice if possible. Usually, the Imam would give this piece of advice to us that “serve the people as much as you can in your youth. Perform any form of worship. Make the most of your youth for when you reach to my age, then you will no longer be able to do anything – just like me that is not able to do anything.”
