A saying of wisdom
Long ago, in markets slaves are sold and purchased. The slaves have to obey the orders of their masters . In a Arab market, a slave is being auctioned. He was having scars of wounds all over his body pointing that he is a hard worker.
Taking pity on him, an Arab merchant purchased him by giving a good amount. Merchant took the slave to his home. There after asking him to take rest for a while, merchant asked the slave his name. Slave replied he dont have his own name. Whatever his master call him, that will be his name.
Merchant asked him what are the foods he like to have? Slave replied whatever his master gives him to eat, that will be his favourite food. Merchant was very happy by listening to the answers. But also, he asked last question. The question was what is his wish?
That time, slave was silent for a moment. He looked at the sky. He raised both his arms and then he said "We all are the slaves of GOD. He is our real master. Our wish dont matter. What HE wish with our life, is important. HIS wish matters most."
By listening to these words, merchant came near slave and hugged him. Merchant anounced that from now onwards he is merchant's master.
