A Lesson from Disabled People for us

Once, a visitor was being shown around a leper colony in India. The colony was built to provide a shelter for those people who were poor and had various physical disabilities. At noon a gong (a metal disk that produces a sound when hit with a hammer) sounded to gather the inhabitants for the midday meal. People came from all parts of the compound to the dining hall. Suddenly, everyone started laughing at seeing two young men, one riding on the other’s back, pretending to be a horse and a rider. They were having lots of fun. As the visitor watched, he was told that the man who carried his friend was blind, and the man being carried was lame (who couldn’t walk). The one who couldn’t see used his feet; the one who couldn’t walk used his eyes. Together they helped each other and reached their destination.

There is a lesson in this incident for all specially for some of the politicians who risk the life of millions because of their minor conflicts with other politicians, so instead of strengthening the Pakistani politics together, they try to misuse other’s weaknesses for personal gain.

Let us use each other’s strengths to make up for the weaknesses of others in the nation. Our strength is in unity, not in division. It is sad that our country seems to be moving towards division.

May Allah bless all Pakistanis and all muslims in the world with wisdom to realize it at this critical stage of the nation.

Good story.

But if you don't want division, please stop differentiating between Muslim and non Muslim. That's a major division in itself.
History should have taught you what happens when we make these divisions.

Divisions and separations are a fact of life and cannot be ignored…especially as they say Charity begins at home…if we are not kind and charitable amoungst ourselves…our enemies which there are innumerable will exploit that weakness to the fullest extent…:frowning:


that is what is happening all around us sad to say…:frowning:


Good story Submission To Peace…:k:

Re: A Lesson from Disabled People for us

thank you STP

it is not just politicians but entire Muslim Ummah needs to realize that "United we stand, divided we fall"

and also in order to rule, we have to live and let other live as well. Indeed Killing is not a solution.

a good first step would be to stop disabling people
