As Salaam Alaikum,

Mashallah I am here finally posting something. Life is getting hectic day by day subhanallah but inshallah I will find a way out of it. Today's post is primarily a promise that I have to fulfill in all faith, and soul. Here is the story I have been promising to tell. And today is the day. Here is the story :

The Man Who was Rescued from Madness

In prebiblical times, there existed a town whose fortunes were about to change.  In order to test the town, Allah(swt) sent Hazrat Al Khidr(AS) to the people of the town to warn them of a certain date, when the water of that town would change into something  that would make people forgetful( towards their duties, etc etc in life). And that the believers were forbidden to drink that water after that particular date. They would have to wait some more days and the water would be changed back to normal.

This certain man in the town decided to go obey Hazrat Khidr(AS) stored humangous quantities of water before the date. The appointed day came and the water of that town was changed into the forbidden drink. Most people refrained from drinking, but most others had their share of it and turned forgetful. Days passed by and more and more people tasted the forbidden water. The man who had decided to obey made futile attempts to educate the people about Hazrat Al Khidr(AS)'s warning. As all other people were forgetful, they concluded that the man was mad.

Then one day came when the man himself drank out of the forbidden water. And the other men said here was a man who was just rescued from madness---"Carawan of Dream by Idries Shah"

My dear friends this story has more message than you think it carries. Reflect, reflect and it will come to you. This story is not abrupt its complete. Put yourself in that man's situation to see what it is like, secondly try to understand if the man did the right thing or not. Just think more inshallah it will come to you. In the mean time do take good care of yourself.

As salaam
