Losing Value With Time

Some bright students were solving their examination papers very enthusiastically. Some others were trying to choose any question from the list, to solve first while the rest of them were just thinking and looking around for some help. As the finishing time of the exam was approaching nearer, all the students became more conscious and alert. Those who were already busy became more fast. Those who were just thinking, now started writing whatever they knew, not even bothering about what the question is. Atlast the time expired and I, being the invigilator of the examination hall, took all the papers back from the students. Some of them even gave me blank answer sheets…!

In the examination of this life, some realize the importance of being Muslim at a very early stage. Others take sometime to understand the purpose of life. Some keep thinking until the last hour arrives and the remaining never bothers to hand over empty sheets.

I always preferred to use that medicine whose expire date is far ahead from the present date. The more far the expire date is, the more useful is the medicine. On reaching closer to the expiry date, even all the ingredients remain the same, but the medicine becomes useless. No matter how precious and costly that medicine may be, one day it has to expire and before that it has to loose its value with every passing day…!

Our life will also expire one day. We are loosing the value of our worships and righteous deeds day by day, as we are getting older. We are also loosing the chances of earning Sawabs with our growing age. We must not waste this precious time in “profitless” activities and I am sure most of us Muslims know, without any doubts, that what the “Profit” is.

Best of the Best

After going through local media news, I decided to boil the tap water before drinking it. After some days, I realized that I have to adopt some new method, so I installed a water filter. For further satisfaction, I used to boil the water first before passing it through the filter. Being unsatisfied again, I started using Mineral Water. Then there was the issue of “Purity”.
Atlast my doubts for un-hygienic water are cleared by using Pure Mineral Water of a famous brand. This is the level of my self-concerned and consciousness. In order to clear my doubts, I always take the pain and go for best of the best.

I use to ask myself, “Why I say prayers?” My inner-self replies, “In order to please Allah”.
I again ask myself, “Am I sure, that I am pleasing Allah with my prayers?” “I mean, what if Allah is not pleasing with my prayers?” “Am I doing something to clear my doubts?” “Am I taking any pain to be sure of pleasing Allah?” “I mean, what if Allah is not pleasing with my prayers?” I am worried and unsatisfied because I am not taking any precautionary measures to please Allah. “What else should I do, if I don’t even worry about it?”

Limits Of Freedom

To every independence and freedom, there always is a corresponding limitation. Freedom without any limit creates an unjust society. All of us (or most of us) today feel that we are free to do anything within our boundaries; what we fail to realize is the limitations we must abide by within our boundaries.
