BELIEF AND TRUST
A young man was walking on a rope tied between two tall towers. As he was walking slowly, balancing on a long stick in his hands, he had his son sitting on his shoulders.
The people on the ground were watching them in awe. The situation was very tense.
He slowly reached the second tower… Everyone clapped, whistled, and welcomed them. They shook hands and took selfies.
He asked the crowd: “Do you think I can walk back on the same rope now from this side to that side?”
The crowd shouted in one voice: “Yes, Yes, you can..."
Do you trust me, he asked?
“Yes,,,yes,… we are ready to bet on you.”
He said: “Okay, can any one of you give me your child to sit on my shoulder; I will take the child to the other side safely?”
Suddenly, there was stunned silence. Everyone went quiet.
Belief is different.
Trust is different.
For Trust you need to surrender totally.
This is what we lack towards ALLĀH. We believe in Almighty Allah, but do we really trust Him...? |
