Difference

As the old man walked the beach at dawn, he noticed a young man ahead of him picking up starfish and flinging them into the sea. Finally catching up with the youth, he asked him why he was doing this. The answer was that the stranded starfish would die if left until the morning sun.

“But the beach goes on for miles and miles and there are millions of starfish,” countered the other. “How can your effort make any difference?”

The young man looked at the starfish in his hand and then threw it to safety in the waves. “It makes a difference to this one,” he said.

the young man was lieing. He was only picking up his shipment of hashish from cuba. Pablo, his contact person on the other side had strapped the sugar on the other side of the starfish and let them sail across a couple of miles across miami.

Re: Difference

^ JazakAllah khair brother for the kind words of encouragement.

We can consider those starfishes as people like me (in the Ummah) and the boy an example of scholars like Maulana Tariq Jameel, Dr. Zakir Naik......etc. who are trying their best to save as many people from fire of hell as many they can...(through the teachings of Quran and Sunnah)

The old man might be an example of people who have lost hope in the re-rising of the Ummah
