LOVE OF ALLAAH:

Hazrat Eesa AS once passed by a young man who was watering the garden. The young man requested Hazrat Isa (Alaihis Salaam) to make Dua that Allah Ta’ala grants him an atom of His love. Hazrat Eesa AS replied, “You do not have the power within you to sustain an atom of His love.” The young man said, “Okay then request half an atom of His love.” Hazrat Eesa AS then made Dua to Allah Ta’ala to grant the young man half an atom of His love, and then went away.

After a long time Hazrat Eesa AS passed by that road again and enquired about the young man. People told him that that young man had become insane and had gone to the mountains. Hazrat Eesa AS made Dua to Allah Ta’ala to make him meet the young man. He then saw the young man standing on a mountain and looking towards the sky. Hazrat Eesa AS greeted him but he remained silent. Hazrat Eesa AS asked, “Don’t you recognise me, I am Isa.” Allah Ta’ala then sent a revelation to Hazrat Eesa AS saying, “O Isa! That person who has even half an atom of My love, how can he listen to the voices of humans? By My Honour and Majesty! Even if you take a saw and cut him into two pieces he would not feel it.”

EVERYTHING THERE IS FOR A REASON:

A king was once passing along his way when he saw some animal droppings. And he saw some worms in those droppings. The thought came to his mind that there is no purpose behind the creation of these worms. They are useless, with no real job.

Very soon thereafter he lost his eyesight. Being rich, he spent thousands of rands trying different treatments to restore his eyesight. All to no avail. Then it was mentioned to him that a certain pious Hakeem (natural medical practioner) was very good. The king sent for him.

The Hakeem refused to go to the king and asked that the king come to him. On examining the king, the Hakeem prescribed a powder that was to be put in the king’s eyes three times a day. Gradually the king’s eyesight returned until he was fully cured.

He went to the Hakeem with lavish gifts which the Hakeem refused. The king said, ‘At least tell me what you used in that wonderful medicine.’ The Hakeem replied that he used the worms which one finds in animal droppings. He dried them out, crushed them into powder and made the king apply that to his eyes. The king bowed his head in submission to Allah, Who created every atom with a definite purpose.

Never look down on any creation of Allah Ta’ala, for everything is there for a reason. The events that happen to us also have definite purpose. Every human is a valuable treasure who can benefit the world.
