Aik Zamana Aisa Aye Ga | AGE OF TURMOIL
the anxiety of his child, he asked affectionately, ‘Son! What’s the problem? Do you have any pain?’ The child replied, ‘Father! There is no such problem. The problem is, it’s Thursday tomorrow and the teacher will test all the lessons he taught throughout the week. I fear that the teacher will beat me badly if I make any mistakes.’
Listening to the child, the father gave a loud and spontaneous cry in fear of the Hereafter. Talking to himself, he said crying, ‘Alas! I have spent my entire life disobeying my Lord. As compared to the child I should feel much more fear of the Day when I will be presented in the court of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ to be held accountable for my entire life.’
(Durra-tun-Nasiheen, pp. 255, slightly modified)
Dear Islamic brothers! The above parable contains countless Madani pearls for us to learn a lesson. If each of us compares our condition with that of the child in view of this parable, we will perhaps reach the following conclusions:
The child is concerned about even a short test but we are heedless of the test of our entire life.
He is fearful of punishment from the teacher but we are fearless of punishment from the Almighty.
He is worried about even a few mistakes but we have no worry about a lot of mistakes we have made.
