when the woman reaches a certain age and all her children are married, she starts paying attention to herself, performs hajj, and adheres to the worship of her lord. it is as if she knows in advance when she will die! it is as if she is certain that during that period she will be able to perform acts of worship that she was not used to performing before! it is as if she is certain that she will be able to do what she did not do before. how true is this proverb which says: "what has always been, always will be."
