stories of elderly

my teacher says a story

there was one feudallord in his area(he had great livelihood from Allah)

he had one pair clothing for summer and one for winter

somebody asked him
uncle please spend something for yourself as well

like clothes shoes (todays like cream cosmetics, energy drinks,etc)

he replied

son, that day when we start spending for ourselves
then from that day you will stop spending for helping poor and needy

when humans starts thinking for himself
then he will not hear anything no cryings no causes

you cannot see there weak faces

you cannot hear there pain

the pain which can shake the ceiling of arsh

which can make angels cry

can you see now what zakat stands for

to make your heart alive

to make you see there pains

to give up your enjoyments

zakat is compulsory

2.5 percent is farz means no cause no gain
you fulfilled your duty that is it

from more , that it is saqawat

in another place
he says when he was very young around 65's

he was going to city from his place a village

he had one honey jar in his hand around 10 Rs say

and old man asked him
did you pay for this

so he replied it is from my farm

so he asked did you father paid rights of his sisters

so he replied my father has no sisters
then again old man asked did your grandfather paid his rights to his sisters

we have nobody to remind us anything like this now

if somebody tries we fear of legal actions

so we are alien in our own world

so prepare for your own self

i think we are really at the end now.
