THE STORY OF A VALLEY
Sages say that thousands of year ago, there was a valley where people lived and carried on with their daily trade and rituals of life. Unfortunately, they were involved in very sinful ways and openly violated the laws of God. At last, God decided to punish the whole community. The Lord told the angels to wipe away every one of them. The angels said that there were some good people also in that community. God ordered that those righteous men should be destroyed first because they do not guide the other wicked people about what is good and what is evil.
This shows the importance of guiding others. However, first we need to have 'correct' beliefs ourselves through constant learning and become good humans though we can never become perfect. Next, we should proceed and do whatever we can to fight the darkness. It is not required for all people to become leaders, scholars or revolutionaries as we all have different and unique strengths. Whatever little we do out of a clean heart can be accepted in the way of ALLAH (God Almighty).
