- Once, a fisherman sat at the riverbank in darkness just before appearance of the dawn ๐
He found a sack filled with stones ๐ชจ
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 ๐๐ป
So he threw more and more stones into the river because the sound of the stones as they land in the river fascinated him ๐
As the sun appeared on the horizon, the content of the sack beside him became clearer ๐ฅ
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 ๐
Thus, it became clear to him that all these whiles, he has been throwing diamonds in the river, and not stones ๐ฑ
He started lamenting, regrettably saying, how foolish have I been?!!! ๐ฅด
How could I be throwing diamonds into the river thinking that they were ordinary stones just to enjoy the sound that they make! By Allฤh had I known its worth, I would never have been so reckless!!! ๐ญ
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 ๐ญ
The darkness of the night is the heedlessness with which we live our lives ๐
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
