Hey I KNOW EVERYONE DOES WEIGH AS THE LADY TO LEFT IS DOING..THIS IS WRONG GUYZ !
Ah, I know a bigwig has just said what a stupid question is this, because the answer is as simple as putting an elephant in the refrigerator – where you open the door of the refrigerator, put the elephant inside and close the door!
No, it’s not a straightforward answer or else we all would be as good as Socrates. To find the answer read on further.
People judge each other with different criteria. This criterion is developed in one’s mind for various reasons. Some people make decisions within the circle of culture and heritage. Moreover, some consider ‘glamour’ a factor for approval or for disapproval of things not even related not to the ‘fashion’ industry. Furthermore, some people from our elite class who have an abnormality on their nose which is always pointed towards the sky weigh the person higher who has got a higher bank balance. And some poor souls are forced to follow such criteria in order to survive in the society of the 21st century.
For Instance, if you go to seek a job and you are well dressed than your chances of getting the job are more even if you have fewer capabilities than the one who knows more but can’t afford better dressing than you. That definitely doesn’t mean that I am suggesting that one should not be clean and well dressed. Cleanliness is equal to half of one’s faith. But, equal opportunities should be given to all sects of people. On the basis of clothing one should judge each other. Give the person an opportunity to the person with capabilities so that he improves his lifestyle too. Another phenomenon which is circulating like the dengue fever is to get a job through sources rather than struggling in the job market with your capabilities. If the person is qualified and suitable for the job then there is no harm in getting that job through a resource. But usually people with fewer capabilities get hired instead of the ones who deserved it on merit.
Furthermore, in Asian culture mostly, when one tries to get married, be it men or the fairer sex, one actually goes through a TRIAL. One has to wait for the approval for ages from the opposite side until they are convinced that he/she is monetarily well off. Of course the girl’s side would be concerned about the resources of the prospective man so that they can maintain a trouble free married life. But, that is not exactly what it seems. Most of them actually desire an ultra rich man so that he can provide her with all the luxuries in life. And in this process of probing, many parents forget overlook other aspects which are also necessary for wedlock and they also forget that too much luxuries makes life so relaxed that one forgets to remember the Almighty. On the other hand, the boy’s parents look for a rich family too so that they could benefit monetarily in the future. For example, these days many relationships turn into business deals later on in order to protect ventures from dissolution. Moreover, most are interested in dowry, which is a crime in the eyes of religion, while some require assurance of financial support till the end of their lives.
Even in the Western society, there are weird factors which are taken into consideration before a marriage. The conservatives don’t marry their daughter to a person until and unless he earns better than average. While just like the Asian parents, they don’t let their children marry to those who are out of their caste or who don’t belong to their social class. A good example of this is of Robert De Niro who had difficulty to give her daughter’s hand to a male nurse, though he earned well, in the movie ‘Meet the Parents’.
While the liberals who don’t want to have parents’ consent, usually marry after a ‘one night stand’ which has definitely become the reason for the increase in the divorce rate in the Western countries.
All such examples lead to the basic point that man enjoys ‘man-made’ rules. These ‘man-made’ rules are creating differences and increasing discrimination between brotherhoods at the speed a hare sprints. What one doesn’t know is that one day all this would exhaust because there are limitations to the rules of men due to the fact that we humans can’t make better guides to life than God because we are biased when something concerns or affects us. Thus, the people who follow the guide provided from the All Knowledgeable would succeed the same way tortoise did by being – slow and steady. To find a solution, usually, we develop a short cut to overcome our difficulties in life which in the end are not always acceptable to the Creator. Such shortcuts are made of lies and to cover one lie one has to say another 1000 lies which means more distress and suffocation is to continue. Such ‘man-made’ rules have given birth to new forms of discrimination.
If we go back five to six hundred years back discrimination was on the basis of religion – the crusades are the best example of it. Rewind a little to three to four decades back we read in history about racism on the basis of color – The Indo-Pak history or the American Black Rights movements are the proofs of this adversity. Swift forward to 2008, we find discrimination on the basis of wealth and glamour because we are hungry for these two aspects currently. We want to dance under the shower of wealth with the lady who is not even ours. This surely indicates that the weakness in faith is growing at an alarming rate, the same way suicide bombing’s increasing in Pakistan.
We have to learn and we have to stop abiding to man-made rules. We have to follow the guidelines of our Creator.Let’s make it simpler for those who are unable to understand.
Look, when one buys a home appliance, car etc, we get a manual with it on how to use it properly by the developer, right?
If we don’t use it accordingly than the consequences will make the machinery damaged and after sometime we have to dispose it off without using it for the time it could have been used, right?
In the same way we have to follow the guidelines provided by Allah in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle or in that regard to prolong our stay in this world, easy, right?
Therefore, we have to stop weighing people on materialistic aspects. For example, the next time we weigh a person to in order to conduct business with him or not, the most important aspect is to investigate whether the person is honest. The most important thing to be taught in educational institutes is that money is the dirt of one’s hand, it will sometime stick like dirt on your hand not leaving your pockets and keeping you satisfied and on the other day it will flow down the gutter just like the butter slips out of our hand. But honesty is a quality which is like an engraving on your heart which means it cannot wear off and only death of morality can remove this impression from one’s heart.
The ideal way to evaluate a person before any specific task is to judge the person on the criteria which tells the difference between right and wrong in a character. Materialistic criteria usually provides shield to people who have hollow personalities and shortcomings. Instead of erasing their shortcomings, they continue to indulge in protecting themselves through the ‘armor of glamour and money’ to prolong their vested desires. It’s humorous that these people take life so easy and don’t worry about the life hereafter where all luxuries are free of cost if one has lived life on earth in accordance to the Order of The Greatest.
Thus, eradicate such criteria from your lives and you will see love, wealth and happiness coming into your homes otherwise such rules will only bring disharmony, dissatisfaction and loss. We have made simple things into complex with the advent of our own set of rules and regulations. ‘Simple living and Great Thinking’ will take you to the garden of heavens where the rivers of honey and milk are waiting to serve you while the opposite will push you further down the pit of woes and Hell fire later on.
I believe the answer to the question on the top was actually as easy as putting an elephant into the refrigerator, wasn’t it?
