People will always judge! (beautiful story)



The story is about a family consisting of three people, Abdullah (The Father), Sameena (The Mother) and their son Zahid.
One day, Abdullah came home and told his wife and son that they needed to move to a new house in the nearby village because his current workplace was shifted to that village.

During olden days people used to travel on horses and camels. The family also had a Camel which they used as a means of transport. They started their journey to the new place. After helping his wife and son mount the camel, Abdullah decided to walk and thus guide the camel.

When they reached first village on their way to their destination, they found something weird about the onlookers of that village, they heard people say “Look at that poor father, he has a young son and he is of no use to his father. The young boy instead of leading the camel himself is making his aged father do all the work and he is enjoying on top of the camel” Zahid felt guilty and climbed down the camel, made his father sit on the camel and started guiding the camel.

Upon reaching the next village, they heard people say “Look at the shameless father, he is so energetic and his son so weak, and yet he makes his son do that difficult task of guiding the camel” Abdullah got embarrassed and decided to walk along with the son and guide the camel.

They reached the next village and heard people of that village say, “Just look at that lady sitting on top of the camel having a fun ride while her poor husband and son are walking in the scorching hot weather” so Sameena got down and started walking with her husband and son.

The people of next village said “Look at these unthankful people, God gave them a means of transport and they are not using it in an efficient way. They could have used it to travel” On hearing that all three sat on the camel and continued their journey.

The next village people told, “Oh my God! Just look at the family, they are such oppressors. They are burdening the poor animal with all their weight and luggage. They are heartless people” So all of them got down, and confused they took the camel and started carrying it on their heads.

When they reached the next village people there started laughing for they never saw anybody carry a camel on their head. This sight was amusing to them.

The three of them put the camel down and sat there not knowing what to do next.

MORAL OF THE STORY

It is the nature of people. If you do a thing with a mindset of pleasing someone you will end up hurting others (intentionally or unintentionally) because you only thought of pleasing a particular person and didn’t think about the rest.

Different people, different opinion and different thoughts. So the best thing to do is to do things with an intention to please God, because people might forget the good that you did, but God never forgets your good deeds.

Please your Creator not People!!!
May Allah (SWT) endow us with the ability and strength to please Him alone and establish us firm on His righteous path. Amin.

Teenagers who wanted to watch the movie...




Two teenagers asked their father if they could go to the movie theater to watch a movie that all their friends had seen, he denied their request.
“Ah dad, why not?” they complained.
Dad replied: “Because every movie contains nudity and portrays immorality as being normal and acceptable behavior.”
“But dad, those are just very small parts of the movie! That’s what our friends who’ve seen it have told us. The movie is two hours long and those scenes are just a few minutes of the total film! It’s based on a true story and good triumphs over evil, and there are other redeeming themes like courage and self-sacrifice. Even the movie review websites say that!”
“My answer is ‘no,’ and that is my final answer. You will not go and watch any film. End of discussion.”
The two teenagers walked dejectedly into the family room and slumped down on the couch. As they sulked, they were surprised to hear the sounds of their father preparing something in the kitchen.
They soon recognized the wonderful aroma of cookies baking in the oven, and one of the teenagers said to the other, “Dad must be feeling guilty, and now he’s going to try to make it up to us with some fresh cookies. Maybe we can soften him with lots of praise when he brings them out to us and persuade him to let us go to that movie after all.”
The teens were not disappointed. Soon their father appeared with a plate of warm cookies, which he offered to his kids. They each took one.
Then their father said, “Before you eat, I want to tell you something: I love you both so much.”
The teenagers smiled at each other with knowing glances. Dad was softening.
“That is why I’ve made these cookies with the very best ingredients. I’ve made them from scratch. Most of the ingredients are even organic; the best organic flour, the best free range eggs, the best organic sugar, premium vanilla and chocolate.” The cookies looked mouth-watering, and the teens began to become a little impatient with their dad’s long speech.
“But I want to be perfectly honest with you. There is one ingredient I added that is not usually found in cookies. I got that ingredient from our own back yard. But you needn’t worry, because I only added the tiniest bit of that ingredient to your cookies. The amount of the portion is practically insignificant. So go ahead, take a bite and let me know what you think?
“Dad, would you mind telling us what that mystery ingredient is before we eat?”
“Why? The portion I added was so small, just a teaspoonful. You won’t even taste it.”
“Come on, dad; just tell us what that ingredient is?”
“Don’t worry! It is organic, just like the other ingredients.”
“Dad!”
“Well, OK, if you insist. That secret ingredient is organic … cat poop.”
Both teens instantly dropped their cookies back on the plate and began inspecting their fingers with horror.
“Dad! Why did you do that? You’ve tortured us by making us smell those cookies cooking for the last half hour, and now you tell us that you added cat poop! We can’t eat these cookies!”
“Why not? The amount of cat poop is very small compared to the rest of the ingredients. It won’t hurt you. It’s been cooked right along with the other ingredients. You won’t even taste it. It has the same consistency as the cookies. Go ahead and eat!”
“No, Dad … Never!”
“And that is the same reason I won’t allow you to go watch movies. You won’t tolerate a little cat poop in your cookies, so why should you tolerate a little immorality in your movies?
Dear Readers, please give a fitting moral to the story !!!
