BE THANKFUL TO GOD!




A man was in Jeep in a heavy traffic, whilst waiting impatiently he saw a private plane passing. With much frustration he said: when would I get this plane so that all this traffic things would escape me ? Whilst praying he saw in his driving mirror another man in his old Hyundai car pointing at the Jeep smiling. The Hyundai car owner showed much interest in the Jeep also frustrated of how hot he's feeling in his car, "oh God, when would I get this air conditioned car to enjoy some fresh air". Whilst praying, he saw in his driving mirror someone pointing at his car showing interest. It was a taxi driver who was also praying to have that Hyundai as his private car at least to have a peace from passengers terrible insults poured on him. As if that was all, he looked into his driving mirror and saw someone with a motorbike (okada ) on that hot sun, sweating with his load saying "why me, God.....at least if I had this taxi, it could have given me a roof to prevent me from sweating this way". Surprisingly he saw someone walking beside eyeing his motorbike saying, "hmmmmmm, if I had this motorbike I wouldn't have suffered crossing the bridge and it could have reduced my 5 miles walking looking for job". He also turned and saw a cripple in an armchair shedding tears and saying "had I got legs I would have been very happy". Whilst crying, he saw an ambulance passing on the street, someone is dead and the relative sitting closely praying "oh God, why won't you give him life and take two of his legs away?" The truth is that, we are always ungrateful to Allah, we are never content with whatever blessings He has bestowed on us. Just like the driver's mirror, look backwards and you would be amazed people are crying to reach where you are now. Tell me, if you are given all the riches in the world, what would you do ? Probably you may have slept on "money bed" and would that give you the sweetest dream ever ? Is Bill Gate the happiest man on earth ? Can Dangote walk boldly and freely in town like I am doing all day long ? They are very afraid of arm robbers and thieves. Some can't even sleep spending the night protecting their wealth. The truth is that you and I are very impatient. La-in shakartum la aziidannakum wa la-in kafartum....... ( If you thank me, I would increase it for you but if you disbelieve.... ) that's Allah's word. Glorify Him, thank Him and be content with whatever He destined for you, In shaa Allah you shall not be the same. May Allah guide and protect you, your friends, neighbours and family.......aameen
