Don't complain the Beloved is listening

"Don't complain the beloved is listening", that is the title for one of the sufis poem by the great Jalaluddin al Rumi. Unfortunately i could only lay my hand on the translated title without the poem's body. I have tried in vain to search for the translated version but unable to find any. Nevertheless the title alone is enough for us to understand the intended message of the peom, i guessed. 

As servant of Allah it is a great sins for us to complain about our life, for when we complains we are implying that Allah don't know what best for us and at the same time we are saying Allah being unjust (zalim) to us. So long that we keep complaining about our lifes, complaining about others mistreating us, complaining  about our misfortune and ill fate we remain in the disgrace of not knowing our true self.

Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin Chishty (R.A.) once said "A person who has firm faith and believes in Allah doesn’t complain of others behaviour"

 
Next time before we complain we should remember that.....

If you think you are unhappy, look at them

If you think your salary is low, how about her?



If you think you don’t have many friends...



If you think you suffer in life, do you suffer as much as he does?


If you complain about your transport system, how about them?












The above was, (as i was told) from an email that was voted as the best email of the Year...I could understand why...because it touch everybody's heart. Does it touch yours?

Here is another opportunity for us to feel blessed,  for Allah has created us with complete arms and legs..not like Nick Vujicic.

Say Subhanallah and Alhamdulillah.
