HUMANITY

The life of this world is very short, and Allah ( ) has not
granted us this life merely to earn our livelihood. If we make
the worries of this Dunya our worries then our entire lives will
revolve around these worries, like, in the olden days in the
eastern countries, people used to grind their wheat by-placing
it on the ground. In the middle they used to place a pole and
tie an ox to the pole. The ox would walk round and round the
pole the whole day, as it could not go anywhere else. So at
the end of the day if the ox were to be asked: “Where did you
go?” If it could reply, it would say: “Nowhere. If it were
asked: “What did you do?” It would say: “Nothing. So in the
same way our entire lives will pass and we will achieve
nothing, we will reach nowhere. Therefore, our worry and
concern should be to please Allah ( ) and to rectify and
purify our souls, if we do this, then the worries of the world
will be sidelines and Allah ( ) will arrange for it. If we keep
our objective of life in mind, we will see that the needs and
the worries of the Dunya will just fade away, Allah ( ) will
take, care of it, and we will achieve our goal, we will become
Insan and we will leave this world not only as a true Ummati
but as a real Insan also.
May Allah guide everyone to righteousness and accept us for
His Deen,
Ameen.
