A dog is better than me

Submission To Peace · Aug 19th, 2007, 12:32 AM

Intense pain would have raised in anyone's heart at the scene of that angry master hiting the dog very hard. The dog could have responded by biting the master BUT he didn't. The silent look in the dog's wet eyes can't be expressed in words. A look of sincerity which penetrates through the depth of soul, which might make the most cruel person cry. Motionless with a bowed head, a body language of the most obedient servant, who is ready to serve his master, obey every order and even give it's life for him, no matter how many times he hit it.

WHY ???

Because the master had given him food for few days.

How could have anyone controlled his tears when at one call the dog placed his head in his masters feet, ignoring what he did to him earlier.

And how many times do we place our head infront of our master after 5 calls a day, who doesn't even disgrace us the way that dog was disgraced. Instead HE says that after you do severe disobedience in everyway, if you walk towards me I run towards you.

HE keep feeding us even if we are disobedient to him, but he waits for us to repent, so that we may realize that He has blessed us with unimagineable blessings. He promises that I forgive all your pasts sins if you repent only ONCE sincerely from heart with an intention of not repeating them.

The dog shows his loyalty by guarding his masters house all night, but we don't show loyalty by guarding "ourselves" from sins which doesn't give benefit to our master but to ourself.

IS that dog better than US in terms of thankfulness, who's sincerity and obedience is only because of food and we have infinite reasons to show respect to our parents and our Allah through obedience in a REAL way, which they deserve?

^ JazakAllah khair for the kind words of encouragement. It is only that you yourself are kind (mashAllah) that you take out the positive aspect from people's posts.

It is actually not that human doesn't posses that sense of thankfulness more than that dog. The better humans of the past (saints) were unimagineable times better in showing their thankfulness to their lord. Muslims of present age try to ignore (relatively more) their inner voice of thankfulness.

Surah-e-Rehman shivers my body everytime I read it.

^ JazakAllah khair brother for the kind words of encouragement. But you have said too much. Honestly I don't deserve such appreciation. Though I would inshaAllah try my level best to come up to the level of your vision..(MashaAllah you have a good vision and intentions for Muslims, insha'Allah you would succeed in your efforts).

May Allah bless you and your family with all the blessings of this life and hereafter.

Kindly remember your brother in prayers, as I need them alot.

The height of humbleness!

I wonder you have been spared by the fatwa-choros who condemn people calling themselves sag-e-madina.

It is really a beautifyl Kafi of Hazrat Baba Bullay Shah Kasuri Qadri by the title, Raati Jaagan Kutay. If you know Punjabi, you can feel the depth of meaning in it. Just click the link below to read it in Punjabi.

^ Well I don't know punjabi very much and haven't read Baba Bullay shah, but I have heard a lot about him. I was curious to read about him. I tried the above link but the language is too difficult for me to understand. Can anyone kindly translate it ?

I would insha'Allah try to get a translation of it. Thanks for posting the link.

p.s. JazakAllah khair everyone for the kind words of encouragement.

Makes one wonder why Muslims continue the culture of prohibiting dogs as pets.
Dogs are a gift from God.
