“If someone spends his youth in the disobedience of Allah, and then repents when he is older, he will not be able to acquire the same closeness of Allah as that person who abstained from disobedience right from his youth.
Remember a hundred prostrations during one’s old age cannot equal one prostration during one’s youth.
However, if someone built a relationship with Allah from a young age, struggled against his nafs whilst he was young, and continued this endeavour until he became old, then his prostration in old age will be priceless.”
