••• Why bitter fruits were sweet to Ayyaz
•••
There was a famous ruler by the name Sultan
Mahmud and he had a slave called Ayyaz.
Sultan Mahmud loved Ayyaz very much
because of his great wisdom.
From time to time, Sultan would test Ayyaz
with various things to see how much love
Ayyaz had for him.
One day, Sultan Mahmud gathered the most
bitter fruits from his garden and called Ayyaz.
Sultan told Ayyaz to eat them.
Ayyaz took the fruits in his hands and kissed
them and then started eating them without
any hesitation. Sultan observed that Ayyaz
was eating the fruits with great pleasure and
the bitter taste was not affecting him in any
way.
Now Sultan started thinking that he might've
picked the wrong fruits, so, he took one of
the fruits from Ayyaz to find out.
As soon as Sultan took a bite, he was
overwhelmed by the bitterness of the fruit
and started screaming for water. When Sultan
settled down, he asked Ayyaz why he was
unaffected by the fruits.
Ayyaz said "You only see the bitterness of the
fruits but you don't see the one who gave
them to me? They were given to me by the
king himself!"
Lesson ♥ : My dear friends, today we find
some commandments of Allah to be bitter
and hard to follow. However, we should
rather follow them with great love because
they were given to us by the King of all kings,
Allah.
