The thoughts and prayers of sincere believers revolve
around their Lord. And they spend their moment in the Universe with a wider
consciousness about the fleeting nature of time and would try to remain detached
from, and unaffected by, events around them. In a recent conversation, the Khalifatullah Hadhrat Munir Ahmad Azim
Sahib (atba) of Mauritius profoundly explained the right attitude to life to be adopted
by true believers. Hadhrat Sahib (atba) was responding in the context of a mail
written by a father about his little child’s dream and a subsequent incident at
the house of the person concerned. For the benefit of our readers we reproduce
below extracts from the exchanged letters.
The letter addressed to Hadhrat
Sahib (atba) read as follows:
“...A couple of days back in the
morning, our little ... (child) got up to say that he saw a dove in his dream. And I was
wondering what could that dream may mean.
This morning, it so
happened that a dove entered the main hall of our house from the balcony and
got hit in the ceiling fan, which was at full speed and it fell dead. A bird
flying high, gets caught up in a revolving machine and it fell dead on its
wings, in the blink of an eye. Between the throbbing life and the stillness of
mortality there was nothing but a transient moment.
Kindly pray that
Allah (swa)'s Mercy and Grace allow us to do some good deeds before one's time
is up,
Wassalam,
Fi Amaanillah
