Q: Which is the most important and why: Health, Wealth, Knowledge or Time?
A: I don't know if there is a right or wrong answer for this question.
We will be questioned about each of these on Judgement Day [1,2]
But my personal opinion is:
1) knowledge
2) health
3) time
4) wealth
My reasoning is:
knowledge can guide you to improve health and wealth while spending time and wealth wisely.
what good is time without health and knowledge?
what good is wealth without the rest?
Note:
Ironically, most people prioritise them in the complete opposite order!
============================
[1] “The son of Adam will not be dismissed from before his Lord on the Day of Resurrection until he has been questioned about five things:
his life and how he spent it,
his youth and how he used it,
his wealth and how he earned it and how he disposed of it,
and how he acted upon what he acquired of knowledge.”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 2422; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi, 1969)
[2] “Take benefit of five before five:
Your youth before your old age,
your health before your sickness,
your wealth before your poverty,
your free time before you are preoccupied,
and your life before your death”
(Narrated by Ibn Abbas and reported by Al Hakim)
