Three travelers lost their way in the desert

Three travelers lost their way in the desert

The similitude of the #Quran and people in our time, is like three travelers who lost their way in the desert in a dark night! Endless desert and darkness ..! 

While they are in this state, they saw in the sky a star with a tail, it continued to penetrate the darkness of the horizon with its light, until it hit the ground! 

Each of them took a different position:

The first one did not pay attention to that phenomenon, but saw it a mere natural movement that happens randomly! The other two rushed to the site where the meteorites fall then picked up some of the stones scattered here and there .. they had two ways in dealing with those precious stones:

One of them was impressed with the stone; because of the colors and luster it has, and said to himself:
Perhaps it will remove the dreariness of this dark road, and then put it in his pocket. To this point the matter is over! 

The other one was impressed as a friend of the beauty of the strange stone! He turned it in his hand, and said to himself: This precious stone that came from the unseen world must have a secret! It cannot fall on the earth uselessly! no no! There must be some wisdom in it! Then he began to rub the pieces of the stone, until sparks broke out from them..! 

The man was dazzled for that; he continued rubbing the stone, and so the glow of sparks increased. Moreover, the heat of the stone increased gradually; to the extent that he felt pain between his hands!

The intense heat spread out to all parts of his body. accordingly the pace of his pulse increased..! But he remained patient, his heart - despite the sense of pain and suffering - was extremely happy.

Some moments passed until and then the precious stone in his hands turned into a lamp with a great light! 

Then the light extended to himself, until all his body became an alloy of light, like a chandelier whose lamps fall on the ground!

The beams of light was pouring out of his inflamed heart to rise in space and then rose, even to reach the sky.

The man, with his dazzling gaze, followed the rope of light rising from himself to the sky, until it reached the high horizon, the road map appeared in the desert! Very clear, the night is as clear as the day. Only the doomed one will miss his way. 

he felt a great joy that made him shout and call his two companions together: Dear brothers! .. come on! I found the road map! .. Allah removed our distress. Dear brothers! .. Look, this is the way out of the darkness to the light! Watch the ray of light flowing from the sky .. It clearly refers to the kiss of survival! .. follow the light to survive!

As for the one who kept a piece of stone in his pocket, he did not hesitate to follow his friend and to imitate his example, because he believed that this precious stone has a secret! 

He saw its radiance with the vision of his companion, not with his own vision.

But the first one who saw that the fall of star on the ground is an insignificant matter; despite the call of his companion, he did not see any of the beams flowing with guidance! He was blocked by his corrupt belief.

The mirror of his rusty heart did not reflect any light! Therefore he did not believe in the light. Rather, he accused his companion of madness and delirium! He went alone in the desert, astray in the darkness! 

And he to whom Allah has not granted light - for him there is no light. 

Quran(24:40) 

Then the two guided men set off walking in the path of light .. one of them is a leader and the other is a follower.

The leader is a caller who sees with the light of Allah and walks with the insight granted by Allah due to the heat and the light of the stone.

The second one believed in the light and accepted the call of his friend, walking on his footsteps with his guidance ..
He has nothing to ward off the whispers except the instructions of his leader.

While they are walking in peace on their way, the follower asked his companion:

tell me how did you discover the secret of light in this gem!

But the owner of the light found that the language is unable to show the truth of the light to his companion, it was only to put a piece of

the stone that was in his hands in the palm of the follower; the man screamed from the intensity of the heat of the stone!

He turned it in his hands and then threw it quickly in the palm of his companion! But the owner of the light was hold it by his steady hand! The follower was surprised by the attitude of his companion and said: But you are clutching the embers!

He said: Yes, it is! It's the capture of the embers! But the Spirit finds the pleasure of the light which the heart sees. 

This happiness removes from the body the feeling of pain, and prevents the combustion!

The fire of longing and faith is one thousand times stronger than the fire of infidelity, disobedience and sins!

If the first fire fall on the second; it will turn it into peace and safety on the heart of the believer!

(They said, "Burn him and support your gods - if you are to act."Allah said, "O fire, be coolness and safety upon Abraham."And they intended for him harm, but We made them the greatest losers.)
