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.
