Ignorance Is Misery
The ignorant person is an enemy of his own self. A wise man once said that there are two whom neither knowledge nor wisdom can benefit, an ignorant person and a dead person. Luqman Al-Hakeem said:
The Ignorant Sees Himself...
As Always Being On The Straight Path And Being Right,
And That Is Why He Cannot Change Himself!
The signs of an ignorant person are six:
- He gets angry easily without any reasoning
- He talks without any purpose or benefit
- He gives to those who do not deserve it
- He is blind to the point he is unable to differentiate his enemy from his friend
- He betrays the trust and secrets of others
- He trusts everyone, even the fools
The example of us is like that of an artist. The artist gets a canvas and fills it with colors according to his own feelings and beliefs. When he is done, it is his own work!
You And I, We Are Born With An Empty Canvas
And When We Die, We Will Leave Behind Our Canvases
Which We Have Painted During Our Life
With Our Actions, Manners And Character...
Either Good Or Bad...
Ask yourself as to what kind of painting you are planning to leave behind? What colors do you plan to use? Are we painting a colorful painting full of faith, generosity, kindness, goodness, compassion, mercy? Or we are leaving an ugly painting with unattractive colors full of injustice, stinginess, bad manner, oppression, and ignorance?
