Salam
I would like to share a story with you all which i remember i heard. A long time a ago there was a man who used to drink alcohol alot. Day and night he just used to dink and drink. One day he bought a slave girl. A couple of months later she gave birth to a baby girl. The man still carried on drinking as usual. When his daugther was about 2 , when her dad used to drink she used to push the cup / bottle out of his hand. She done this quite a few times.
A couple of months later the little girl passed away. He was even more upset because of his daughters death but it didnt stop him from drinking.
One night the man had a dream. " I was running away from sumthing i was running so fast. I looked up and i was running from a very big horrible dragon which was blowing out fire. I was so scared of it. I carried on running until i came to stop at a Shayk. I asked him why is that dragon after me, caan you please help me. The shayk replied i cant do anything to help you. Yoy are on your own. I carried on runing and running. The dragon was still after me.
I again came and stopped at the same Shayk again.I again asked him to help me this time he said to me to carry on going ahead and behind that place you will find your answers there.
I ran all the way there. When i gt there i stopped. That place was full of dead children. Amongst them was his little girl. He asked her y the dragon was after him. She replied that dragon is all your bad deeds put together. The flame fire the dragon is blowing out shows how strong ur bad deeds have become.
He asked about the Shayk, she replied that Shayk is your good deeds but thats how weak they have became that he cldnt help you.'
The man woke up the next day and asked Allah for forgiveness. He gave up drinking and became a great Shayk in his time.
I heard this story and it really touched my heart for sum reason. I liked it alot so i though i would share it with you.
I know the moral of this story but i was wondering if after reading this if you do?
