A king once had a slave who, in all circumstances said: “My
king, do not be discouraged because everything God does is perfect, no mistakes
…”
One day, they went hunting and a wild animal attacked the
king, the slave managed to kill the animal but couldn't prevent his majesty
losing a finger.
Furious and without showing gratitude, the King said; “if God
was good, I would not have been attacked and lost one finger!” The slave
replied: “Despite all these things, I can only tell you that God is good and
everything he does is perfect, He is never wrong!”
Outraged by the response, the king ordered the arrest of his
slave.
Later, he left for another hunt and was captured by savages who use
human for sacrifice. In the altar, the savages found out that the king didn't
have one finger in place so he was released because he was considered not
“complete” to be offered to the gods…
On his return to the palace, he authorized the release of
his slave saying; “My friend, God was really good to me! I was almost killed
but for lack of a single finger I was let go! But I have a question: if God is
so good, why did He allow me to put you in jail?”
He replies: “My king, if I had gone with you, I would have
been sacrificed for you because I have no missing finger.”
MORAL LESSON:
Remember, everything God does is perfect, He is never wrong … often we complain about life, and the negative things that happen to us,
forgetting that nothing is random, and that everything has a purpose.
Subhanallah! MasyaAllah!
