Let Me Remind You...

9. An Interesting Story

A Shaytan of a Believer met a Shaytan of Disbeliever.
The latter was fat and well clothed and the former was weak ,lean , disheveled , dust coloured (Covered with dust) , hungry and naked.

The Shaytan of the Disbeliever asked the Shaytan of the Believer , "Why are you so lean?"

The Shaytan of the Believer answered, " I am accompanying a man who , when eats mentions Allah's name so I remain hungry.
When he drinks he mentions Allah , so I remain thirsty.
When he wears clothes he mentions Allah's name, hence I remain naked.
When he puts oil in his hair , he mentions Allah's name and I remain disheveled."

Then the Shaytan of the Disbeliever said ," But I'm accompanying a man who never does the deeds which you just mentioned so I share his food , drinks , clothing, etc."

From what I know this story is not from some hadith but from some of our pious predecessors. But the moral of the story is still sound and good, isn't it? :)

Always say BISMILLAH my brothers and sisters. ❤
Start off with BISMILLAH!
Start off with the name of your Lord.
BISMILLAH is the minimum du'a.
How simple it is!?
It's just one word and yet we forget to say it.

How many of us say Bismillah before we eat?
Very few?
We just start straight with munching.
We bring burger or pizza and before we even realise it's gone! May Allah SWT guide us...

Sometimes these eating habits of us are so unhealthy and the way is so unhealthy that we are supposed to say Audhubillah!
May Allah forgive us... :(

None of us are perfect.
I repeat this again and I'll be repeating this over again with time that none of us are perfect nor will we ever be.
But these small reminders should encourage us towards the good.

Hope I made my point clear ya Akhis and Ukhtis.
I liked this story too much, it has such a good moral that I couldn't help but feel eager to update soon.
May Allah SWT guide us to the right path, aamin.
Feel free to share. :)
