From our Story Writers: Ali learns a lesson
October 25, 2006Once there lived a man named Ali. He had ten sheep with him. He was a kind-hearted man. One day two men came to him for help. So Ali gave them his sheep. Now he was left nothing, so he prayed to Allah for wealth. When he went to the river for drink, to his surprise he found lots of gold, which made him a rich but cruel man.
Now he had a palace of his own, servants and everything he wanted. One day an old man who knew Ali, met him and told him that his behaviour with the people around him would displease Allah, but Ali did not listen to him and went off sailing on his boat with his boatman. In an accident their boat crashed on an island. After two years when they returned everything had changed. Ali was no more a rich man. He realised his mistakes and repented to Allah.
