THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum ar-ba'a. 28th day of Jumaadal Aakhir. (Wednesday 10th February 2021). A SHORT STORY TO LEARN A LESSON. BismilLah.
I copied the below story from my Facebook group Global Muslims Online, sometimes ago and resharing it with little editing so that we can all learn some lessons from it.
When I started using pen in my primary school, and I made a mistake, I would try hard to erase it before submitting to my teacher.
Sometimes, I use chalk to clean my mistake but it later re-appeared.
So I began to use saliva, it worked, but only to leave holes in my books.
My teachers then used to beat me for being outrageously dirty. But all I tried to do was to cover my error.
One day, a kind hearted teacher who loved me so much called me aside and he said, " Anytime you make a mistake, just cross it and move on" .
He said further " Trying to erase your mistakes would only damage your book to nothing. I told him in protest that I don't want people to see my mistake.
My loving teacher laughed and said " Trying to erase your mistake will make more people know about your mess and the stigma is for life".
Have you made some mistakes in life? Cross it over and move on. Do not try defending the wrongs you are doing to the extend of swearing whilst lying, that's dangerous. Do not try to please human being, he will fail you, always strive to please ALLAH. ALLAH is loving and love to forgive so keep seeking forgiveness sincerely, regardless of how sinful you've been. Don't expose yourself as a result of trying to cover your mistakes.
May ALLAH keep guiding us all and protect us from any satanic influences. Aameen.
