Assalamualaikum ,
A brief sensible story to
share with u all....
Once, a group of people
were travelling on rocks at night. A voice came from the sky that whosoever
picks up the rocks will regret and whosoever doesn't pick up the rocks will
regret. Now, the people were confused.
How can this be? Whether you pick up the rocks or not, you will regret!
Anyway, some people picked up the rocks and some didn't. In the morning
when they reached their homes, they saw that the rocks turned into
diamonds.
Now, those people who didn't pick up the rocks started regretting saying
"If only we had picked up some rocks."
Those people who did pick some rocks also started regretting saying
"Why didn't we pick up more rocks?"
Both sides eventually ended up regretting.
Dear Muslims, this same
incident will take place with us on the Day of Judgement. Those people who
spent their time in useless things will start regretting by looking at
those who achieved a great position in Paradise by spending their time in
the way ofAllah. Now, those who did achieve a position in Paradise will
start regretting by looking at those who did more than them and are higher
in status.
"Alas! If we had only done more to please Allah."
In
a hadith the Prophet sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam said to a man while he
was advising him:
“Take advantage of five matters before five
other matters:
your youth, before you become old; and
your health, before you fall sick; and
your richness, before you become poor; and
your free time before you become busy; and
your life, before your death.”
Narrated by ibn abbas
The Prophet of Allah (sallallaahu 'alaihi salam) said;
"Whoever guides or directs to good, then he gets the same amount of
blessing (reward) as the one who does it"
[Saheeh
Muslim]
