Contemplating The Hereafter
It is related that a person had built his home in a place where floods would occur. When he was informed that this is a dangerous area and he should relocate, he replied, “I know that this is an unsafe place, but I am mesmerised by its beauty.”
It was said to him, “All beauty and brilliance is attached to life. Therefore, protect your life and do not endanger yourself.”
He remarked, “I will never leave this place.”
Then, one night, a flood came whilst he slept, and he drowned in it.[1]
There was an intelligent student from Faisalabad Medical College who accompanied his friend on a picnic. On arrival at the picnic point, his friend entered the river to swim but began to drown. In a state of emotion, the ‘future doctor’ jumped into the river in order to save his friend. However, he did not know how to swim and became stuck himself. Fate was such that his friend somehow managed to come out, but the ‘future doctor’ drowned. Lamentation began. A mother and father’s support in old age was lost to the water, their pleasant dreams would no longer be fulfilled, and that unfortunate, intelligent M.B.B.S student reached his grave before the result of his final examination could reach his hand.
