Book Name:Khai Walon Ka Waqia
thumb did not allow me to sleep all night. By morning, I went to a doctor and showed him the wound. As per his analysis, I had my thumb amputated.
Sometime later, my hand was injured again, subjecting me to horrific pain. I rushed to a doctor and was told my hand must be amputated entirely. I had this done straight away, but the pain had spread to my entire arm by this time. The agony was indescribable. My arm was then amputated at the elbow, but not long later, it was cut at the shoulder.
Some people asked me about the start of my ordeal, so I told them about the fish I stole. They told me, “If you had gone to the fisherman right away, returned the fish, and asked for forgiveness, perhaps you would not have had to get your arm amputated. You still have time. Go to the fisherman and ask him to pardon you, before the pain spreads to your whole body.”
With great difficulty, I finally found the fisherman and fell at his feet, pleading for him to forgive me for stealing from him. He appeared concerned and asked, “Who are you?” I told him everything and showed him how I now was missing an arm.
Upon this, he began to cry and said, “My brother, I have forgiven you.” I then made him a witness and repented from injustice, vowing never to wrong anybody again.”[1]
Dear Islamic brothers! One extremely dangerous spiritual illness is the intoxication of power. We must uproot this from ourselves, as it is usually the one who suffers from this spiritual illness who commits oppression.
