There was a country long time ago where the people would change a king every year.
I will share with you a story which shows the clever decision of a youth on how to live this life. This story is only an example.
There was a country long time ago where the people would change a king every year. The person who would become the king had to agree to a contract that he will be sent to an island after his one year of being a king. So, one king finished his term and it was time for him to go to the island and live there. The people dressed him up in expensive clothes and put him on an elephant and took him around the cities to say goodbye to all the people. This was the moment of sadness for all the kings who ruled for one year. After saying goodbye, the people took the king with a boat to the remote island and left him there. On their way back, they discovered a ship that had sunk just recently. They saw a young man who survived by holding on to a floating piece of wood. As they needed a new king, they picked up the young man and took him to their country. They requested him to be a king for a year. First he refused but later he agreed to be a king. People told him about all the rules and regulations and that how he will be sent to an island after one year.
After three days of being a king, he asked the ministers if they could show him the island where all the other kings were sent. They agreed and took him to the island. The island was covered with thick jungles and sound of vicious animals were heard coming out of them. The king went little bit inside to see how it was and discovered the dead bodies of all the past kings. He understood that as soon as they were left in the island, the animals came and killed them.
The king then went back to the country and requested the people to provide him with 100 strong workers. He was provided with 100 workers and he took them to the island and told them to remove all the deadly animals and to cut down all the trees. He would visit the island every month to see how the work is progressing.
In the first month, all the animals were removed and many trees were cut down. In the second month, the whole island was cleaned out. The king then told the workers to plant gardens in various parts of the island. He also took with himself useful animals like chickens, ducks, birds, goats, cows etc. In the third month, he ordered the workers to build big houses and docking stations for ships. Over the months, the island turned into a beautiful place. The young king would wear simple clothes and spend very little from his earnings. He sent all the earnings to the island for storage. Nine months have passed like this. The king called the people and told them that "I know that I have to go the island after one year, but I would like to go there right now." But the people didn't agree to this and said that he have to wait for another 3 months to complete the year.
3 months passed and now it was a full year. The people dressed up the young king and put him on an elephant to take him around the country to say goodbye to others. However, this king is unusually happy to leave the kingdom. People asked him, "All the other kings would cry at this moment and why are you laughing?" He replied, "Don't you know what the wise people say? They say that when you came to this world as a baby, you were crying and everyone was smiling. Live such a life that when you are dieing, you will be smiling and everyone around you will be crying. I have lived that life. While all the other kings were lost into the luxuries of the kingdom, I always thought about the future and planned for it. I turned the deadly island into a beautiful abode for me where I can stay peacefullly."
We should take a lesson from this story about how we should also live our life. The life of this world is to prepare for the life hereafter. In this life, we shouldn't get lost into the beautiful things of this world and forget about what is to come in the afterlife. Rather, even if we are kings, we should live a simple life like our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and save all our enjoyments for the hereafter. May Allah make it easy for us all.
Phir vahi nazar, vahi badi badi bhoori aankhen aur phir vahi mujhe dekh kar shokhi ke saath palkon ka jhapkana. " Oye sun na, bore ho rahi hoon yaar " Aur phir vahi ada ke saath ubaasi lene ka natak karte hue mere kandhe par uska sar ka tikana. "Class mein suna karo ke kya bol rahe hain, filhal mere notes copy karke kaam chala rahi ho, aage zindagi mein kya karogi?? " Hamesha ki tarah mera shikayat karna. "Tum hoge na vahan bhi mera saath dene ko, my best friend" Hamesha ki tarah muskurate hue uska vahi purana jawab. Best friend. Is label se mujhe nafrat bhi thi aur ye haqeeat bhi thi ke is label ke bina jeena mera muhaal tha. Mere Humnafas, Mere Humnawa, Mujhe Dost Ban Ke Daga Na De Main Hoon sadma-e-Ishq Se Jaan-Valab, Mujhe Zindagi Ki Dua Na De. Use shayad khabar bhi nahi ke mere dil mein kya hai. Ke kaise main use dekh dekh jeeta hoon aur kaise mera use dekh dekh hi dam nikalta hai. Uske liye toh main uska sabse achha dost hoon jo uske ...
Iqbal is considered nothing less than an infallible in Pakistan. Courtesy the corrupt text books which the young Pakistanis are bombarded with all their life, a heavenly hero is what every kid is asked to perceive Iqbal as. There is no doubt in the fact that Iqbal was a revolutionary, a great Philosopher and poet but there has been many twists and turns in his personal life which we should all know as well – for this might help us understand him and his work better. I am posting below an English translation of “Allama Iqbal – Ek mehbooba, Teen beewiyaan, Chaar Shaadiyaan – Dr. Khalid Sohail.” Laazim hai dil ke paas rahay paas-baan-e-aql Lekin kabhi kabhi isay tan-ha bhi Chhor day (It’s good to keep the heart under the guardianship of wisdom but sometime the heart needs to be left alone) Iqbal When we study the psychological aspect of Iqbal’s life, we find out that despite having a sensitive heart and a brilliant mind, he had to struggle against many roman...
ایک اندھا لڑکا اپنی ٹوپی کو پاؤں کے قریب رکھ کے ساتھ عمارت کی سیڑھیوں میں بیٹھ گیا۔ اس نے کچھ لکھا ہوا بھی اٹھا رکھا تھا جو کچھ یوں تھا: میں اندھا ہوں میری مدد کیجیئے۔ ٹوپی میں کچھ ہی سکے پڑے تھے۔ ایک آدمی پاس سے گزرہا تھا اس نے اپنی جیب سے کچھ سکے لیے اور ٹوپی میں ڈال دیے۔ اس نے پھر وہ لکھائی والا کاغذ لیا، اسکی دوسری طرف کچھ الفاظ لکھے۔ اس نے کاغذ واپس رکھ دیا تاکہ جو کوئی بھی گزرے وہ اسے دیکھ سکے۔ جلد ہی ٹوپی پیسوں سے بھرنے لگی۔ اب ذیادہ لوگ اندھے لڑکے کو پیسے دینے لگے۔ اس روز دن کے وقت وہ آدمی حالات دیکھنے کے لیے واپس آیا۔ لڑکے نے اس کے قدموں کی آواز کو بھانپ لیا اور پوچھا: کیا تم ہو وہی جس نے صبح میرے کاغذ پر کچھ لکھا تھا؟ تم نے کیا لکھا تھا؟ آدمی نے کہا میں نے صرف سچ لکھا، میں نے وہی بات جو تم نے لکھ رکھی تھی، ایک مختلف انداز میں لکھی۔ میں نے لکھا تھا: آج کا دن بہت پیارا ہے مگر میں اسے دیکھ نہیں سکتا۔ کیا آپکو لگتا ہے کہ دونوں باتوں میں ایک ہی بات کہی گئی تھی؟ جی ہا، بالکل۔ دونوں لکھ...
