Things of Beauty ♡

As little as a Sparrow🌿

"You will have a beautiful life ultimately. But you have to do the struggle to achieve that♡ "

Exhausted day made by a small creation
Hamna had a tough day today and was exhausted.
The hours she spent working all night for her assignment were enough to make her tired. The teacher who had strictly said that the assignment will be collected today was nowhereto be seen during the lecture.
"If the teachers show such neglect towards punctuality what are the students going to learn?" She thought. "We could have been given some more days for this assignment atleast, if teacher informed us about not taking lecture beforehand." As if she wanted to blame that teacher for how she completed assignment working like crazy!
Other lectures went by as usual.

She reached home only to be greeted by loud voices. The source was drawing room. The elders were arguing over some issue which she was sure was not worth fighting for. Issues can be dealt with nicely.

This was not a routine bit whenever it happened, it caused a headache.
"Why can't we all live happily as families do. I know there are families that don't share even that love and care which we do, but there are families that are so much better than us too." She thought, somehow comparing her family with others.

After getting fresh, she got prayer mat, offered her prayer and shared her sorrows and worries with her Allah. She always felt relieved after asking Allah for help. It was like getting an assurance that 'Everytjing will be fine ultimately' and she absolutely loved it.

She was absentmindedly staring outside the window that opened in the backyard. She sat on the prayer mat sadly recounting and sharing her problems with The One who was the closest to her heart.

"Tough studies.
Dealing with people.
Family fights.
Can't it all just get resolved and our lives become perfect and free of stress?"

Just then she saw a little cute creature through the window. A little sparrow! As little as sparrows were, those were the most adorable to her.

"The teacher could have got into some issue. That may be the reason she was absent today." Her subconscious said.

"She could have informed us atleast!" She thought.

"Maybe she didn't even knew herself beforehand." Maybe. She remembered the day when she could not take quiz because the family went to another city that day. All her friends were considering that teacher would not listen to her excuses but she understood her problem and allowed her to attempt quiz questions.

The sparrow who came flying and sat on the wall was now drinking water from the small clay pot that she placed there. She used to pour water into it everyday.

"Why there has to be some arguing almost everyday in the house? People can live peacefully right?" Came her second issue.

"Sometimes its you who is fighting and arguing with others." Her mind spoke.

"But I do that only sometimes when I lose my temper and that too on important issues only." She reasoned.

"They might find some ossues important which seem trivial to you. They may have tried to prevent arguing but lost their temper when you saw them fighting."

The small bird flew to the container hanging at the wall that held bread and pecked it.

"Focus on the good. Even these little sparrows which you find amusing don't get a ready made beautiful life. They have to strive for it. They fly all around to search food. Allah provides them with food everyday but they have to strive to get to it."
Her sad expressions finally changed into a beautiful smile. A smile that meant that she got the meaning.

"You too have to. You have Allah. You can't be hopeless. He will turn everything right. Just keep doing your efforts, ask Him for help and never lose hope."
"You will have a beautiful life ultimately. But you have to do the struggle to achieve that♡ "

The bird that her sight held, now flew back to the tree; chirping, looking as lively and beautiful as always.

She knew what to do. She'll work harder to tackle with the tough studies and give up the useless distracting activities. She'll work to make her family relations better.
A smile, some kind words, a nice meal, a hearty game played together. These simple things she'll do to make things better. She'll try not be sad and hopeless anymore.

She'll make amends. She'll try to make things rights. She'll do efforts. She'll make sure to ask for Allah's help all along!
