- Once, a fisherman sat at the riverbank in darkness just before appearance of the dawn 🌌
He found a sack filled with stones 🪨
He picked a stone from the sack and threw it into the river. The sound of the stone as it landed in the water fascinated him so much 👂🏻
So he threw more and more stones into the river because the sound of the stones as they land in the river fascinated him 💓
As the sun appeared on the horizon, the content of the sack beside him became clearer 🌥
There was only a single stone left in the sack when the sun shone. So the fisherman looked at the last stone in the sack only to realize that it was a diamond 💎
Thus, it became clear to him that all these whiles, he has been throwing diamonds in the river, and not stones 😱
He started lamenting, regrettably saying, how foolish have I been?!!! 🥴
How could I be throwing diamonds into the river thinking that they were ordinary stones just to enjoy the sound that they make! By Allāh had I known its worth, I would never have been so reckless!!! 😭
Sadly, everyone of us is this man...‼️
The diamonds are our life which we waste away in bits without any benefit ⏰
The sound of the water is the enjoyment and desires of this life which shall vanish almost immediately 💭
The darkness of the night is the heedlessness with which we live our lives 🌌
The appearance of the dawn is the reality that sets in at the point of death - the point of no return. ⚰️
May Allah guide us & help us to live a productive, useful and beneficial life
🤲🏻 آمــــــــــين✨ ♥️
