Inspiring Messages

Lailaha ila Allah

There was a sheikh who was teaching his students Aqeedah (faith),

He Taught them lailaha ila Allah and explain to them, educated them just like how the Messenger of Allah,

صلى الله عليه و سلم

Taught his companions faith and planted it within themselves

The Sheikh loved breeding birds, cats so he was given a parrot by one of the students as a gift,

And with days the Sheikh liked the parrot, And he use to take him in his lessons, Until the parrot knew how to say lailaha ila Allah, He use to utter it night and day .

One day the students found their sheikh crying and sobbing

When they asked him,

he told them the cat attacked the parrot and killed it,

They told him is this the reason your crying! If you wish we will bring another better then it ..

The-Sheikh said i am not crying because of this ... But it made me cry when the cat attacked the parrot. It was shouting and screaming until it died.

He use to say lailaha ila Allah alot,

However, when he was attacked by a cat he forgot

Has nothing only but to scream!

Because he said it with his tongue only and his heart did not learn it so it didnt feel it!

Then Sheikh said: I am afraid to be like this parrot,

We live our lives repeating lailaha il allah with our tongues,

But

when death comes we forget

And we dont remember it

Because our hearts did not know it,

So He took his students and they started crying in fear of lack of honesty in lailaha ila Allah

And We .... have we learned lailaha il Allah ,in our hearts? 
