 ou!.,
you are the HUMAN
being …
who loves everybody
without discrimination,
who is not
offensive,
who is eager
to help others,
who is free from any kind of
prejudice,
who looks at the events with foresight,
who does not gossip,
who prefers to live alone,
who is modest and not assertive,
who only thinks
about being good,
who likes to share,
who does not regard some people as enemies
who gives a helping hand
to someone eventhough he
has been ungrateful….
You
have perceived the warning that universality (being universal)
can only be through change, and you have been able to change;
you have been able to make an inventory of life and you could
give a direction to your life accordingly.
You have accepted your wrongs and you could review your value
judgements.
You
have been able to get
lessons from the whirlpools of
life.
You
have never tried to teach anyone a lesson, instead of
this
you, yourself
have learned to take a lesson. You did not
create a priviledged position for yourself
by noticing
the deficiencies in
any of Allah's creation. You did not criticize anyone
hastily, roughly.
However,
you have tasted abundantly the freedom of criticizing
yourself.
You could manage to hug the ones who criticized you, regarded
you as inferior and who admitted your righteousness even after
so many years with the same excitement that you had
the first time. You have believed that people complete
each other.
You have got hold of
the hands that were ignored by others;
you knew how to share with them
the things that would in
the end come back and be harmful to
you just to let them live this happiness.
You did not pay
attention to the strict orders and you have
never forgotten even for a moment that you are existing
only for Allah.
You could manage to stand while you were wanted to be dragged
along on the ground (while others wanted wanted to let you
down). In the circumstances
where fear was ruling, your realisation/perception has
never got torn into pieces.
Before,
if
you had been told that you were going to live such
strange/interesting things like these, most probably you
wouldn’t have
believed. However,
you knew how to accept the things
with a mature attitude which made other people disbelieve
their eyes and ears.
You
did not quarrel
with anyone,
gossipped from behind, and regarded others as
inferior by attributing some superior qualities to yourself.
Even in the simplest conversation you have faced those with a
smiling expression who were being extravagant because some
things were against their benefits and you calmed them down.
You only wanted to make your inborn composition to have
the manners of
Allah. You did not want anything else. You even did not
look with the
corner of
your eye to the ones who attacked and disturbed their
surroundings. However, you haven't praised or honoured
anyone (for flattery). It is important to know well the
qualities that you possess for warning.
YOU;
you are living your own self ,
not the helplessness….
I saw you, I met you, I knew you and I lived you. You have
been good for my soul.
You have brought
colour and optimism to
my life which indeed have any chance for improvement…
Moreover, you have set me FREE.
To know you has brought me happiness. I owe you much. I have
understood very well that you never
contribute to a process in which
man or his
character will become
cheaper. Salute
to you and to the one who has your manners/morals ….!
