99-The author of 'Qamani' (page 20) mentions his age to have lasted for 965 years and Torah (Verse 17 - Journey of Genesis) has mentioned 895 years. 100-Ibn-Hajar in 'Esabah' vol. 5 pg. 255 has written the same not impracticable to live a lengthy life. The reverse is also true (i.e. non- observance of the afore-said rules will result in reduction in ones life-span.

On this basis, the number of deaths in some countries is much less at present than former times and the number of aged people is more than the previous years. Of course it should not be unsaid that since the hygienic rules are better observed today than former years we see such magnificent results.

For this reason, some important companies have been established which insures man's health and give guarantee for his limited life under special regulations and fixed limit, which have been enacted according to the principles of hygiene. As a result of following the hygienic rules we see the desired effects out of our conscience. If it was not such, the attention of the wise would not have been focused on those afore-said companies.

When keeping watch over the hygienic formulas and their rules ensures a persons health and prolongation of life it necessarily follows that the more the observance of hygienic rules the longer will be a person's life. What we see out of our conscience (like difference in health and age and difference in the mode of life) is the best proof and evidence to what we have written.

Therefore, whenever the means of hygiene is kept at man's disposal his age shall be prolonged to the extent, which Allah wishes. The principles of these means are of three types: First: Observance (during the primary stage) when man is merely a matter. That is to say when he is in the rear of his father, the period of his transition to his mother's womb, growth and development in his mother's womb and the period of sucking milk when he is together with his mother.

This is because observance of the hygienic principles by parents during this stage is the first step for ensuring a child's health. How often we see a child dying during his infancy or childhood period because of his parents suffering from some disease and or their heedlessness in applying the means of a sound health and non-observance on their part of his (i.e. the child's) hygienic principles.

Thus the parents in such cases are the cause of this felony and they are responsible for depriving their child from living a natural and normal life.
