THE STORY

The Fowler and the Bird
------------------------
A fowler went out to catch birds and disguised himself by wrapping his head up in leaves and grass so as to avoid frightening the birds away from his snare. A bird of some sagacity came near him, and suspected something wrong, but foolishly lingered near, and began to question him as to his business.

The fowler said he was a hermit who had retired from the world and dressed himself in weeds for the health of his soul. The bird said he was surprised to see a Mussulman doing this in contravention of the Prophet's precept, "There is no monkery in Islam," and his repeated declarations that Islam involves association with the faithful and avoidance of a solitary life. The fowler replied that a solitary life was allowed in heathen countries for the soul's health.

The bird then asked what the grains of wheat were that were strewed on the trap. The fowler replied that they were the property of an orphan, which had been deposited with him in consequence of his known probity [uptrightness, honesty]. The bird then asked permission to eat some, as he was very hungry, and the fowler, with much pretended reluctance, allowed him to do so.

The moment he touched the grain the trap closed upon him and he found himself a prisoner. He then abused the fowler for his trickery, but the fowler said he had only himself to blame for his greediness in eating the food which belonged to an orphan.

The moral is that it is not destiny which leads people into afflictions, but their own errors and vices.

 
SUNNAH (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD SAW)
When dealing with people, Muhammad Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam was never hard; rather he preferred to be lenient. He was extremely compassionate, tolerant and merciful. (Mishkaat - pg.512)

A THOUGHT

FREEWILL AND COMPULSION
-----------------------------
In you freewill and compulsion are vain fancies, but in them they are the light of Almighty power. On the table bread is a mere lifeless thing, when taken into the body it is a life giving spirit. This transmutation occurs not in the table's heart, 'tis soul effects this transmutation with water of life.

~ MATHNAWI ~
