~*~A Beautiful Story~*~

[Rani_Pakistanii]

Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him. The man
ran to
a tree, climbed on to it and sat on a branch. He looked down and
saw
that the lion was still there waiting for him.
The man then looked to his side where the branch he was sitting on
was
attached to the tree and saw that two rats were circling around and
eating the branch. One rat was black and the other one was white.
The branch would fall on the ground very soon.
The man then looked below again with fear and discovered that a big
black snake had come and settled directly under him. The snake
opened its mouth right under the man so that he will fall into it.
The man then looked up to see if there was anything that he could
hold
on to. He saw another branch with a honeycomb. Drops of honey were
falling from it. The man wanted to taste one of the drops. So, he
put
his tongue out and tasted one of the fallen drops of honey. The
honey
was amazing in taste. So, he wanted to taste another drop. As he
did, he
got lost into the sweetness of the honey.
Meanwhile, he forgot about the two rats eating his branch away, the
lion
on the ground and the snake that is sitting right under him. After
a while, he woke up from his sleep.
To get the meaning behind this dream, the man went to a a pious
scholar of Islam. The scholar said "The lion you saw is your death. It
always chases you and goes where ever you go. The two rats, one black and one
white, are the night and the day. Black one is the night and the
white
one is the day. They circle around, coming one after another, to
eat
your time as they take you closer to death. The big black snake
with a
dark mouth is your grave. It's there, just waiting for you to fall
into it. The honeycomb is this world and the sweet honey is the luxuries
of this world. We like to taste a drop of the luxuries of this world
but >>it's very sweet. Then we taste another drop and yet another.
Meanwhile,
we get lost into it and we forget about our time, we forget about
our
death and we forget about our graves."

May Allah wake us up from the sleep and save us before it's too
late.
Ameen.
