BismillahirRahmanirRahim.
O believers, Allah says that He created man weak. Man is most honoured and
most precious among the creatures, but also the weakest. And who is weak,
needs a support.
But people are like tyrants, oppressing others. If you give anyone the chance, he will get proud and brave.A drunk person is so brave, he thinks he can defeat everyone. People nowadays are drunk with Dunya (world/material), and they think that with money they can do everything and they are so powerful. But man is weak- over night he can die; he just doesn't wake up anymore. And Dunya doesn't belong to anyone.
Alexander the Great was coming to one country and he made a magnificient parade with his army. All the people were out in the street to watch. Only one man was sitting aside, he didn't turn his head even once to look. Alexander was astonished and he went to him to ask for the reason for his behaviour. The man said: "Yes, I was once like them, so interested in these things and asking a Sultanate for myself. But one day I saw two dead bodies lying next to each other on a piece of wood, and when I asked whom they are, they said one was the King and the other was a poor man like myself. I didn't see any difference anymore between them, and I realized that nothing of his richness stayed with the King, and that moment all taste and desire for this world left me. Since then I am never interesting in such parades." O Muslims, don't be cheated by Dunya. Stay at Allah's Door, so that His Mercy may reach to you.
