For Allah's Pleasure only- Real Inspirational Story...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the time of Prophet Musa,

there was a pious man, who used to pray day and night on the roof of

his house. One day some people came and told him that there was a

garden where a tree was being worshipped by a group of people. Hearing

this the pious man picked up an axe and went to that tree with the

intention of cutting and uprooting it altogether.

 

 

Satan

 

 

(the Devil) came to him in the form of an old man and asked: " What are

you aiming to do? " The pious man explained what was happening and his

intention to cut the tree. Satan said: " What have you to do with it? If

God wished the tree to be cut, he would have sent his Prophet to do

it. "

 

 

The

pious man did not listen. The two went on arguing and quarreling till

they came to blows. He managed to knock the Satan down on the floor and

sat on him, aiming at cutting his throat. The Satan begged him for

pardon and release saying, " Let me suggest you one thing which would

help you in this world as well as in the next world. I shall pay you

two dinars everyday. You can pay partly to the poor and partly spend

for your own self. Leave this tree uncut till God commanded whether it

was right or wrong to cut it. "

 

 

The

pious man was misled by the Satan. He thought the suggestion was right

and returned home. On the second day, he saw two dinars under his

pillow. He was delighted with the money and spent some after the poor.

But on the following day, he did not see the money again as expected,

so he again took his axe and went to the tree. Again Satan came to him

in the form of an old man and asked him, " What do you want to do? " He

said, " I want to cut that tree. " Satan told him that he had no power to

do it so it was better he went back home. He did not agree and again

they fought. This time the Satan succeeded in overpowering the pious

man and knocked him down on the floor.

 

 

The

pious man was surprised at this and asked Satan why it so happened that

he could not overpower him this time. The Satan replied: " Whoever does

a good deed purely for the pleasure of God, no one can face him but if

he does it with an aim of worldly gain, then he loses strength and

stands to fail. "

 

 

Why

did the pious man win on the first day and lose on the second in his

fight against the Satan? Because his first intention to cut the tree,

was to please God and nothing else. But the second day, his good

intention had changed and it had become for the sake of money. So the

God given spiritual strength which he had on the first day had then

disappeared and so he lost.

 

 

 

Lesson to learn from this Real Life Story:

 

 

 

Before any action we take, we must be clear in our minds that the action is in

accordance with the commands of Allah.This

can be done by constant thinking and true understanding of the aim of

our life. We have to understand what Allah really wants from us.

 

 

 

Never take some one for granted,Hold every person Close to your Heart because

 

 

you might wake up one day and realise that you have lost a diamond while you

 

were too busy collecting stones. "

 

 

Remember this always in life.
