Virtue Never Goes Unrewarded - Ch 8 - (A Journey towards the Final Destination by Masood Sadiq)

-

   8| Virtue Never Goes Unrewarded

It was about ten o'clock in the morning that I had a view of a middle-aged person sitting along the road. I was on my bike and passed away without noticing him. Actually, he needed a lift. I should have stopped there, but soon after realising I  applied the brakes and got to him after a few minutes. I was happy with this timely service. 

While heading towards the destination he told me that he had come from a village on foot. He started walking early in the morning and still, he was far away from his destination. He also narrated to me the purpose of his visiting the city on that day. He had to go to someone to get some money. After getting the money, he would go to the fruit market to buy some fruit to sell to earn his livelihood. I heard his hard-luck story and dropped him near the fruit market. I gave him some money and asked him to go to the market and buy the fruit. He didn't want to get the money. It was not a big amount but he still hesitated to get it. However, I  insisted and asked him not to go anywhere to waste more time. 

After passing some time I observed many poor people who did their best to keep themselves up in their life, but they were unable to do as much as they deserved. How their circumstances forced them to live from hand to mouth. I was very thankful to Allah Almighty for those blessings I had had. I went to my school and in the afternoon, I got a call from the Principal of the school where I had been teaching for a few months. He asked me to take charge of the post of the vice-principal. The previous vice-principal had gone to some other city and was not interested to continue that job. So the principal appointed me as the vice-principal of the school. He also increased my salary for that new assignment. I had my strong faith that it resulted due to my recent generosity with that middle-aged person I did before noon on that day.

I tried my best to uplift the standard of the school and started one or two planners. I also conducted some workshops for teachers' training and was appreciated by the principal. In the meanwhile, I applied for some other posts and just after nine months I got a job in a vocational training institute as a teacher of English and Ethics. I resigned myself from the school and got a farewell. The staff arranged money to present a gift to me but refused them to do that. However, I requested them to change the gift in place of books. I made a farewell speech and thanked them for their reverence.

There are hundreds of hundreds of people around us who are not blessed with those blessings, we are blessed with. We are lucky enough to have some opportunities to help others instead of being helped by others. Our little help opens up our account in an unlimited and vast treasure of God forever and ever.

Towards the Final Destination

We usually forget that every one of us is heading towards the final destination of our Life. New babies are born and living souls are departing after one another. Yesterday, our dearest and respected leader and guide, Muhammad Akmal A Rahman (Director of Punjab College Sialkot) left this mortal world after a short and desperate struggle to survive in a hospital. During his very short journey towards the final destination, he has left a lasting mark on everyone's heart and mind. Those who knew the departed soul cannot help praising his services and leadership capability. Though every one of us knows the mortal nature of this world, we all the staff members of his team are deeply grieved and shocked at his sudden death.  Quran says: There are very few of us who have got contentment of Their conscience. They truly follow and seek the will of Allah almighty.  They only deserve His paradise. Today, almost everyone speaks of his moral behaviour. His relationship with every member of h

How to Make the Best Use of the Opportunity

Every dawn brings great opportunities in your life, and it's up to you how you manage or avail yourself of these stunning opportunities.  Question: How you can do to make the best use of the opportunities you get every day? To make the best of these opportunities you need to control your emotional system and keep all other external factors on and on. All these external factors are beyond your control and supervision. It is true that they affect you in some ways or others, yet it is only you that can make it good or bad. You just keep on doing your way in the best manner, and one day you will be in really a good position to understand everything better. As Einstein said: “ Look deep into nature, and you will understand everything better .” In confusion and frustration, we forget what w have and what we can do to cope with the situation. We have to see it through our experience, or others' guidance.  There is a solution to every problem, we just need to be patient and humble in t
