The Echo

 
 

The Echo

 

A son and his father were walking on the mountains.

Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!"

To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"

He receives the answer: "Who are you?"

And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"

The voice answers: "I admire you!"

Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"

He receives the answer: "Coward!"

He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"

The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

Again the man screams: "Allah is the Greatest"

The voice answers: "Allah is the Greatest!"

The boy is surprised, but does not understand.

Then the father explains: "People call this ECHO,

but really this is LIFE."

 

It gives you back everything you say or do.

Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.

If you want more love in the world,

create more love in your heart.

If you want more good in your community,

improve your competence & goodness.

This relationship applies to everything, in all aspects of life;

Life will give you back everything you have given to it."

 

Every Action has a reaction…good actions produce good reactions and bad actions produce bad reactions!... "What you sow, so shall you reap!!!" 

 

Allah, The Most Wise says:

"So whosoever does good equal to the weight of an atom, shall see(reward of) it". (Quran-99:7)

 

The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) is reported to have said:

"Hasten to do good deeds…"

"Intelligent is the one who prepares for life after death."

 [Hadith- Tirmidhi].
