The Wake Up Call...

Charm about this life is that its full of ups and downs, each day and each moment has its own significance , life is a road which lead to a destination of your own choice, in this traveling we have to pass through some difficult surfaces which sometimes damages our vehicles and we consider ourselves lost in middle of nowhere,

In simple words some situation, scenarios, and events in our ever changing life become so harsh that we become hopeless,

Now as all religions specially Islam teaches us to have faith on the creator and whenever facing hardship in the life we have to see those whom are attempting a much harder examination, but do we really practice this??? I don’t knew about all, but talking about the majority including me, After a small call i received from my Creator few month ago i realized that we become hopeless, regardless and weak while appearing in the examination, God set for us , we use to complaint on everything going on in our life against our will, we used to curse ourselves and our surroundings for so many unwanted events in our lives , and never bother to see people around us who are facing something we could not even imagined off.

Now coming to the event which made me think this way, it is about 2 month ago. I had some forms to submit in the university, I was late so I took an auto rickshaw to the university, and while on my way I started chatting with the driver about the city condition n all. He was a old man about 65 or more, had a beard, seems a very nice and truthful person, on my way after having a little conversation the person suddenly with a sad tone of voice (his tone was like if he don’t wanted to share his pain but he was not able to control) he told me that today morning his beloved mother passed away, and he don’t even have any money to send her mother on her last journey and her body is at home and his owner whom auto rickshaw he was driving refused to lend any more loan to him. 

The old man wasn’t as much literate as I am, he was old and not even as strong as I am, and his financial condition was not certainly similar to mine. But that old poor weak person give me a lesson of a lifetime he said “ I loved my mother but it was Allah who created her and I have no complaint for my lord whatsoever, as a son I tried whatever I can do to treat my mother well and now I don’t have any money for her last journey so I am driving this rickshaw and I hope that Allah will help me to raise the amount which is required for all the arrangement till the end of the day ” later on I also confirmed the event as it was too much unbelievable for a complainer like me , what happened after that is not necessary to mentioned here. 

Well what more can I write now, I was speechless and ashamed in front of my lord that day , and i am ashamed today after remembering that after having so so much in my life I never thanked my God properly. Instead I stick on to be a complainer, but even still to guide me and to put me on the right track my lord, my owner, my ALLAH arranged this wake up call for me, and I am glade I didn’t missed it.

In this Eid I would like us all to remember those whom are put into a difficult test by our lord, and more importantly to remember how tough circumstances are, your never alone, Allah (s.w.t) is always with us.
