THE SPOILT GIRL AND BOY

Bismil Laahir Rahmaanir Raheem

So, I am writing about someone's dream. You will know whom soon.

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatul Laahi wa barkaatuh

So the author of this story had a dream today, 23rd March, between 9am and 10am. He is a father of two wonderful daughters, Heebatul Laah and Barakatul Laah. Great names, isn’t it? May Allah azza wa jal make them a blessing to us. Aameen.

The Early Morning Dream

Once a mother bought an iPhone for her daughter, as usual, always showering her with material things and no moral training. She needed to cut a SIM for the iPhone so she met a guy who said he could do it for her at a particular price. She agreed.

In the cause of cutting the SIM, the guy injured himself but completed the job anyway. He took the money but needed to give her some change. He told her to excuse him to go and treat his wound and then get her change for her as well.

He met some of his friends whiles treating his injury and they advised him not to return the change to the girl and rather ignore her since she didn't seem to be concerned about his injury. He took their advice and did not return to the girl.

Furious, she went to complain to her mum. Her mum became so angry and told her to go and find the guy and give him a piece of her mind.

The following day, the girl met the guy in public and disgraced him. In fact, she insulted him, pushed and yelled at him in public. The girl succeeded in disgracing him before the public eye. Almost everyone supported the girl. They forcefully took some money from the guy to compensate the girl. 

Instead of leaving quietly, she shouted at the guy that;

"My mum even says I shouldn't have given you a penny!"

The guy got so mad at her and his friends added to his annoyance by making fun of him. They told him that he was a weak guy and he doesn't even deserve to walk with them, etc.

He planned and caught the girl off guard one day and he beat her until she collapsed and later got paralyzed.

The girl became a burden on her mum and other family members. The guy was arrested and had a serious infection from the cut because he did not bother to treat his injury well.

My Reaction

So I laughed my head off. I was actually kept in serious suspense to have this story, could you believe? And the title is even more interesting. I wasn’t surprised though that this man could have such a dream, heheheee! He is ‘Technology’ inclined… Apple, iPhone, i thems and all… Plus he is an ICT person at Wisconsin International University! Iccccccttttttt! I am laughing in ICT terms.

But of course, the dream as it makes us laugh also teaches. 

SJF (Sheryf Jannah Focus), whom I like to refer to as Shef, as humorous as he mostly is, derived some lessons from this story. Rahma Iyabo, my sweet mami also derived her own. 

SJF’s Lessons

(And oh! They found the story interesting as well, hohohooo)

1.      Don't cheat others

2.      What goes around, comes around

3.      Patience is better than anger

4.      Forgiveness is better than personal revenge

5.      Bad friends have dangerous influence

6.      The evil that men do, lives after them

Rahma Iyabo’s Lessons

1.      Patience

2.      Respect

3.      Avoid bad company

4.      Loving your child doesn’t mean showering them with whatever they want

5.      Train them well not to be selfish and proud.

6.      Habba! iPhone for a small girl? Money be what? (Is that a lesson? Lol)

7.      And about the injury, First-Aid is always very important

My Lessons

1.      Reminds me of the story of ‘The Man and the Talking Skull,’ a cartoon that a little bro of mine, Badhan Diallo, showed me some time back.

The Story: The Man and the Talking Skull

A man sees a skull in the forest and wonders who brought the skull there.

MAN: (Surprised) How did this skull get here?

SKULL: My mouth brought me here.

He rushes to the chief’s house and informs him. As weird as the story was, the chief made a deal with him that if what he said wasn’t true then he will be decapitated. He went with people to go and verify.

MAN: (Talking to the skull) How did you get here?

SKULL: (As quiet as a mouse)

So he kept asking but the Skull didn’t mind him a bit. So, he was decapitated and his head thrown close to the same skull. 

SKULL: (To the man) What brought you here man?

MAN: My mouth brought me here.

So, like this MAN, the girl’s sharp mouth brought unto her doom. So let’s check our mouths; it is sharper than the sharpest knife.

2.      Subhaanal Laah! What kind of a mother eggs her child on to trouble? Couldn’t she have gone to deal with the guy herself? Well, a note to mothers-to-be. 

3.      Ego has proven in this dream again to be a real killer. The guy’s ego caused him his doom. He could have easily let it pass.

We thank our brother for sharing with us this dream that looks funny on the surface but is filled with great lessons when looked at deeply. I believe in reflection, it brings out the clear picture.

I have the belief that;

‘From everything and anything, we must learn’

May Allah, Al-Wadud, accept our every effort to please Him and may He forgive us every day, every minute, every second. Aameen.

Remember as always that; ‘I LOVE YOU FIISABI LIL LAAH.’ If you love me for the same reason, then may Allah, Ar-Rahmaan, love us even more. Aameen.

Jazaakumul Laahu khair!!!

ISLAM FOREVER IN SHAA ALLAH!!!

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatul Laah!!!
