1 Thank to ALLAH Almighty

AasimNaseem, November 10, 2011May 17, 2025

Just another everyday scene:
Someone busy with his work — on the road, at a small shop, under the open sky.

I paused for just 3 or 4 minutes while walking by…
And in that moment, I quietly thanked Allah Almighty for the kind of work I get to do at my desk, in my office.

That man isn’t any less than me by nature — he was simply chosen for that place and that tough grind.

And I wasn’t born into privilege because of any personal merit.
It was Allah who blessed me with the family that raised me, taught me,
and groomed me — and gave me the values and education that led to this job and social standing.

So please — say Alhamdulillah.
At least once, every day

For the place you’re in.
And for the place you could have been… but aren’t.

    we always takes things as granted, really we couldn’t do anything if Allah would made us something totally different. What if we born in a family where there is no concept of education?? Thanks Allah for everything you gave to me, really we are not eligible for this.

      You are right; We even don’t know how it look like in the absence of those things we have since our birth; Many people passed their whole like just to reach the things we have, and we own them without any efforts; Its all our test here in our life;

    Many of us are given a lot. We take it for granted usually. Perhaps the creator gives us each certain things to achieve some special purpose at some point in our life. Some seem to have much less. I have a little friend, Jessie, whom I see at worship most weeks. http://wayland.patch.com/articles/jog-for-jessie-namesake-is-happy-easy-going As you can see, she will spend most of her short life in a wheel chair with a degenerating mental and physical condition. Yet she is glad to see me and I think her parents are very brave and full of heart. I admire her and I realize that many of us have so much.

      I do agree with the point that everyone is here on earth for some specific task that nature assigns him/her; It is like a big complex system and we are busy in running that system as different nodes; I couldn’t replace you, nor you me;

      Its really tough; One always looks upward to gain higher and higher status in life; I think this is a healthy activity until or unless the factor of greediness isn’t there; But yes we must know keep this in mind that its all blessings of Allah mighty, not a reward of our hardwork or extra abilities;

    Allah Almighty has sent everyone for a cause & i think we should be thankful in our limitations:)
    If a society adopts acceptance & thankfulness gets true essence of being called a social place….

      But what if you got to born in a family where there is not concept of education!! You will feel no importance of this aspect of life too;
      If you got the education and skill, means you were placed in much better place by nature, luckily
