Iraq's famous scholar Malek bin Dinar.
Once, while standing up to give a speech in a large mahfil, an audience said,
A question before you start your speech
answer
Malek bin Dina allowed the question.
The elderly listener said, ten years ago today I saw you lying down drunk.
How did you come back from that situation??
And came here to waz??
Malek bin Dinar kept his head down for a while.
Then he said, he is right. I am that person.
Listen to my story:
Liquor shop was closed on a fine night
I asked the shopkeeper to buy a bottle of wine on the condition that I would eat it at home.
I entered the house and saw my wife praying
Reading. I went to my room. And
I put the bottle on the table. My three-year-old daughter came running, hit the table and the bottle fell on the ground and broke.
The dumb girl started laughing.
I dropped the broken bottle and went to sleep.
No more alcohol that night.
Next year Lailatul Qadr came again.
I returned home with wine again. I put the bottle on the table. Suddenly towards the bottle
His chest burst into tears as he looked.
It has been three months since my baby daughter died.
I threw the bottle out and went to sleep.
I see in a dream that a big snake is chasing me. I have never seen such a big snake in my life.
I am running in fear. At that time I saw a weak old man. The old man said,
I am very weak and hungry. with this snake
I can't. You go right up this mountain.
I went to the mountain and saw that the fire was burning and the snake was coming behind.
I ran to the right as the old man said. I saw beautiful
A garden. Children playing.
The doorman at the gate. The doorman said:
Did the kids see this guy??
The snake will eat it or throw it into the fire. The children came running to the words of the gatekeeper.
Among them is my daughter.
The girl hugged my right hand and slapped her left hand to throw away the snake.
So the snake went. I was surprised and said: Mother, you are so small! And such a big snake is afraid of you??
The girl said: I am a heavenly girl. The snake of hell is afraid of me. Father! Did you recognize that snake??
I said: No, mother.
My daughter said: Dad! That's your soul.
You have fed the soul so much that it
It has become so big and strong today.
He has driven you to hell today. I said to the girl:
On the way a weak old man told you the way to come here who is he??
The girl said: Don't you know him?? He is your soul.
I did not let him eat for a day. He has become so weak without eating that he is barely alive. I woke up.
Since that day I have been giving food to my soul and I have completely stopped the food of the soul. When I close my eyes I see that terrible form and I see the soul. Ah! how much
The weak can't walk. Malik bin Diner cried loudly.
So let's take care of ourselves.
Otherwise hell will be eternal. May Allah Almighty grant us all understanding.
(# Amen)
