A STORY WITH A LESSON FOR US ALL:

Once, a group of people were travelling on rocks at
night. A voice came from the sky that whosoever
picks up the rocks will regret and whosoever doesn't
pick up the rocks will regret.

Now, the people were confused. How can this be?
Whether you pick up the rocks or not, you will
regret!
...
Anyway, some people picked up the rocks and some
didn't. In the morning when they reached their
homes, they saw that the rocks had turned into
diamonds.

Now, those people who didn't pick up the rocks
started regretting saying "If only we had picked up
some rocks."

Those people who did pick some rocks also started
regretting saying "Why didn't we pick up more
rocks?" Both sides ended up regretting.

Dear Muslims, this same incident will take place with
us on the Day of Judgement. Those people who spent
their time in useless things will start regretting by
looking at those who achieved a great position in
Paradise by spending their time in the way of Allah.
For allah says in the Holy Quraan:"
"For those who reject their Lord(and Cherisher) is
the chastisement of Hell:and Evil is such a
destination."(67:6)

Now, those who did achieve a position in Paradise will
start regretting by looking at those who did more
than them and are higher in status. "Alas! If we had
only done more to please Allah."
Allah says:"Surely for the righteous,are the Gardens
of Delight,in the presence of Their Lord."(68:34)

So let us not be regretful when the hour comes to
us,for we have been given the warnings in the Holy
Quraan.
