This flame is nothing

this flame is nothing compared to fire of hell

This is kinda of story actually sharing by someone using video, but as i can't upload it. i love to rewrite this story...

Qari Muhammad Qayyam ( may the mercy of Allah be upon him) related that a great deal of fighting and bloodshed had started to indo-Pakistan partition of 1947

He said that a very young beautiful daughter of a very rich man in a certain community stepped out of her house to visit her aunt, who lived no more than a few streets away. suddenly a riot erupted as had gone halfway and she found herself trapped with apparently nowhere to go. she saw a mosque nearby and quickly went inside, sitting in the woman's section. The rioting continued late into the night and this girl did not know what to do.

The custodian of the mosque was a very young student there and late at night when he walked through the mosque before locking up he noticed this beautiful young lady. he was a respectful young man who feared Allah and so politely asked her to leave. saying that if she was found there, then both would be dishonored and thrown out. she pleaded with him because of the extreme danger outside and so he agreed that she could spend the, and sat down to study at the opposite end of the mosque.

The girl was unable to sleep with the events of the day in her mind and so watched the young man sitting studying by candle light at the opposite end of the mosque. she kept watching him and was very surprisd at something she saw. from time to time this young man would extend his hand and keep it over the open light. only withdrawing it when the flame obviously became unbearable. he then would resume his studies and continued this throughout the night until the dawn broke.

The young man called azan and asked the girl to leave before people started coming to pray since everything was calm outside. she agreed on the condition that he tell her why he was placing his hand on the candle flame throughout the night. the young man said that was his own business and so the girl refused to leave until he told her what she wanted to know.
the young man gave in and said:

"I am at the age of youth and strong desire, we were alone and my desire was increasing and although i was studying the shaytan would occasionally put temptation in my heart"

"hence whenever i would feel any temptation i would put my hand on the flame and my fingers would burn. i would say to myself that this flame is nothing compared to the fire of hell"


The girl lef the mosque and reached home, calming her parent fears as to what had happened to her. she also confide in her mother that she wanted to marry the custodian of the mosque near their house. she related that events to her parent and said only such a man with true fear of Allah in his heart can be true to his wife. only such a man who truly fear Allah can fulfill a wife's right properly.hence the poor custodian of the mosque earned the daughter of a rich household in marriage. he receive this honor not because of his looks but because of his character.


how do you know whether you are choosing the right path in life?
(the way I'd to use everyday in utp)

" dan orang-orang yang tidak mempersekutukan Allah dengan sembahan yang lain dan tidak membunuh orang yang diharamkan Allah kecuali dengan alasan yang benar, dan tidak berzina; dan barang siapa melakukan demikian itu, nescaya dia mendapat hukuman yang berat"
al-furqan verse 68
