Oo Allah, forgive me....

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful

 There's a guy boarding a bus, then he saw a cute little girl smiling to him...the guy smiled back to the little girl. He looked at the girl, up and down..he found that the girl didn't have leg..but the girl still can give him a bright smile. So, he thought, how fortunate he was..still have a pair of leg to walk, to run and to go everywhere..but he never say thanks to God for the leg, so he said, "Oh God, forgive me for not being thankful to You"

Then he went out from the bus, continue his journey..walking through a street..he saw a guy, few years younger than him was selling chocolates. He walked towards the guy..but the guy didn't talk to him..why? And finally, he realized that the guy couldn't talk. But, he still can work like others to search money for living. So, once again, he thought how fortunate he was for having a mouth and he could talk. For the second time, he asked forgiveness from Allah for not being thankful to Him. He said, "Oh God, forgive me"

After buying the chocolate, he continued walking..passing lot of people..and finally, he saw a group of children playing together. But, there's a child sitting alone at the left side. The guy walked towards the child and he smiled to him. He asked the child, "why don't you join them?". The child looked at him with gloomy face. "I'm sorry, I can't hear you". Now, the guy knew why the child didn't play with the other kids. Then, he thought back, how fortunate he was for having a pair of ears to hear. So, he said again, "Oh God, forgive me"

.....Sometimes, we never thought how fortunate we are, we can walk, we can talk, we can hear and we are healthy! There's a lot of people out there didn't have the abilities like that. But, how much did we say Alhamdulillah today? How much we feel grateful to Allah for giving us the opportunity to do what we want to do today? Oh Allah, forgive us for not being thankful..so, let say..ALHAMDULILLAH..

wallahualam..may this article gives some benefit to us..as a reminder for you and me..
