Respect the Wisdom of Elders - Story

Respect the Wisdom of Elders Short Story on "Respect the Wisdom of Elders" Once there was a bull. He had a strong hefty body—so much so that he had to struggle a lot to get through the door of the cow-shed where he used to stay. It was beyond the bull’s control to mend matters. His body was indeed huge and bulky. The cows of the shed daily saw him struggling to force himself through door and smiled. One day a young calf happened to come that way. At that time, the bull was struggling to force himself inside the shed. The calf saw him do so and couldn’t control himself. He said, “If you step aside for a moment, I’ll show you how to get in.” The bull was amused to hear the words of the young calf and said, “I knew the way even before you were born.” The young calf had no words to say. He realized his folly and said to himself, “I mustn’t have advised the bull who is far older than I.” More Story

On the contrary it is a complete code of life, which enshrines the entire activities of a normal human being. One of the most striking feature of Islam in justice and brotherhood. Entire edifice of Islam is based, on these two concepts. Belief in oneness of God and its messenger is a justice, not with the God but onto yours elf, into your soul and flesh.

Diagnosis of Muslims Decline English Essay on "Diagnosis of Muslims Decline" There were times when Islamic empire was expanding from the eastern coast of India to the western coast of Europe. If we imagine today that such empire existed in the golden pages of history we first think “how?” We can see the boundaries of Islamic countries covering large portion of the world map but they are not one as they were two hundred years ago. They are now struggling for their independent survival but in their individual capacity. The question is why they are not united, what has rendered them to this state of disintegration, why they are not at the top of their glory as they were in their past? For all these questions only one answer could be have, that is, the negligence of the importance of time, as a philosopher of time could surmise, on the part of Muslims. For them time was a mere tool of prolonging their stay on earth and this at this time is prolonging the agony of their new

It no longer bore any fruit, though it provided shelter to many birds. Now, seeing the apple-tree useless, the farmer made up his mind to fell it. He came to the garden with his axe and got ready to cut down the apple-tree. But the birds living on that tree begged the farmer, “Spare this tree, sir. If you fell it, we shall have to go elsewhere. It will deprive you of our merry notes when you are at work here.” But the farmer turned a deaf-ear to the plea and struck at the tree with his axe.
