Chirya aur Andha Sanp | Sparrow and Blind Snake
One should not complain
Dear Islamic brothers! Did you see how much the companion of the Holy Prophet, Sayyidunā Abū Dardā رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهُ loved contentment and how obedient his wife رَضِیَ اللهُ تَعَالٰی عَـنْهَا was? Despite the fact that there was nothing to eat at home, she returned happily after listening to her respected husband’s statement which was filled with the fear of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Instead of making complaints about poverty and domestic problems, we too should remain happy with the Will of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.
Zabān per shikwa-e-ranj-o-alam lāyā naĥīn kertay
Nabī kay nām laywā gham say gĥabrāyā naĥīn kertay
They do not bring complaints of sorrow and grief to their tongues
The followers of the Prophet are not worried by sadness
صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
44 Causes of poverty
Dear Islamic brothers! Just as there are reasons for blessings in sustenance, similarly, there are some causes of restriction in sustenance as well. If we try to refrain from these causes, so اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, we will be protected from restriction in sustenance. Here are 44 causes of poverty:
1. To eat food without washing the hands.
To eat bareheaded. (3) To eat food in the dark.
