Rare flowers
Selamu alaykum, It says that there was a botanist man who had everything, a wonderful helpfully woman-wife what had the truth and noble feelings about him, also, all the time working side by side of him blessed parents, a job, doing production and selling flowers, that earned him money for to live and all needs done, and in his mind , only one thought " to reach some new special flower" for to be happy, one day.The problem is that she couldn't reconcile everything. The work and the chores you occupied almost the whole time and he was always in debt in some area, because his thought was , always, to reach the 'the best of the flowers' , and only so he might be happy. If his work too time consuming, he took the the companies - wife, if unforeseen problems arise, he laid aside she, and was far from she .
And so that people what loved him and was all time trying to care and to help him, were left .
until one day after his father, a very serious and wise man, gave him a expensive gift.
A very rare flower, which only had one copy worldwide.
His father gave him the vase with the flower and told him: son, this flower will help you a lot more than you think!
You'll just have to water it and prune it time to time, and sometimes a little chat with it. If it does, it will grace your home and give you in return that wonderful scent, also, you can get some money, later, inshAllah. The man was touched at all with her father act, and it was the flower with some beauty, but he thought: ahhh this is not so expensive, not so rare. it is old, different, and it has thorns. it is exotic, but, I do not believe that it is so special and expensive.
So, the time passed, problems happened, him was searching new flowers for to sale , also, the work consumed all his time and his life, still confused, don't allow him to take care of the special flower.
he came home, and the flowers were still there, showed no sign of weakness or death were just there, not more with with that beautiful, different fragrant. Then he went straight. also, him was so busy trying to reach others new flowers for to have more money, and with a Big pression from partners and others , because all they was , only thinking in to take money from him.
Until one day, without more, the flower died. he came home and got a shock!
The plant, exuberant before, was completely dead, their roots were dried, the flowers wilted and yellowish leaves.
The man , felt not so much good, looking that, and told to his father what had happened.
His father then said: I thought this would happen, and unfortunately can not give you another flower, because there is none like that in all world. It coast bigger money, there was the last one, the only one, and with great property of cure, for hundreds of diseases. With the buds come from it, you would be going to earn so much money, to take care of more than 50 future generations. And also it would save, billion persons,with the medicinal properties, I marry, we were getting the reproduction.
But, the most important thing what this: you if you took care of her, which was given in especial for his personal care, you would be thanking Allah cc, would carrying out an important work, even that this flower had not so much value, all that it has.
This flower was single, and , same that woman what love you so much, working and doing everything trying to help you, same your parents . But, all time, looking the others flowers what him was selling.
Now, you can ask to me: why didn't you told about to me?
So, I, from now, answer: to save 1 soul, of what I have, with bigger value, in my life, the soul of which Allah cc trusted to me, to take care: You, my son .
All are blessings that Allah swt gave to you, but you have to learn to water them, prune them and to send attention to them, as well for the flower, feelings also die.
You got used to seeing the flower always there, always lush, always doing her duty in your environment , but you forgot what had the more important : to take care of it: sending water, and chating all day for a time, also, with this act you were recognizing our Allah cc, thanking our Allah cc. Also, you was looking for outside, what you had, there, waitting for you, all day. but, you just, became far.
Finally, the serious and wise and loving father concluded:
Son! Take care of the people who love you!
Think about it!
Each person is a unique flower ...
but there are some that, There is no other equal in the universe ... Our Allah cc grower the deposits in our home, entrusting them to our care. but in the truth, who will to get benefit, are who do the duty, and with the heart.
Think about it, but think now!
