to such an extent that one sister started saying to the other one: I cannot marry my healthy son to your blind daughter. Having heard this, the other sister felt shocked because the one who found fault with her daughter was no one else but her real sister. Anyhow the one who taunted had gone after breaking off the match. When she reached home it came into her mind that iron pipes were kept on the compound and she wanted them to be shifted on the roof. She asked her son to shift them too. What happened was that, all of a sudden, an iron pipe slipped from her hand and hit straightaway the eye of her son due to which his eyeball came out. She appeared extremely shocked and the words which she said to her real sister started echoing in her mind: I cannot marry my healthy son to your blind daughter. She started feeling ashamed at her manner, but there was no gain because her son had lost his eye. (Jaysi Karni Waysi Bharni, pp. 47)

Dear Islamic brothers! The above-mentioned parable contains admonitory Madani pearls for us. When one sister utters harsh sentences to the other one hurting her feelings, so according to the saying ‘as you sow so shall you reap’ her son also lost his eye and he also became blind by one eye. Remember! Hurting someone’s feelings is a grave sin and an act leading to Hell, but unfortunately, nowadays, people have become fearless. Hurting Muslims’ feelings without any reason and causing them trouble in different ways are becoming a common practice, however, those who hurt others’ feelings displease Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ. Those who hurt others’ feelings are not respected in the society; those who hurt others’ feelings will suffer painful torments. 

Frightening itch

Sayyiduna Yazeed bin Shajarah رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه has said: The way the sea has its corners, similarly, Hell also has its corners which have snakes like Bukhti camels and scorpions like mules. When inhabitants of Hell will make a request to reduce their torment, they will be commanded to get out from the corners, so as they will get out from the corners, the snakes will hold them from their lips and faces and will even remove their skin. They will run towards the fire in order to escape the place. Then itch will be inflicted on
