How arrogant we are

12/10/2002 - Yesterday, we were present in a mosque where a scholar gave a very meaningful talk. He was saying that when we were babies, we had such little knowledge that we didn't even know who is our mother and who is our father. All the women and men looked the same to us. Then Allah gave us knowledge and strength. A time comes when our muscles become strong and we earn big degrees. At this point, most of us stand against Allah and challenge His knowledge. We mock at the Quran and go to such an extent that we deny the existence of Allah! So, Allah stretches our age to a length that we forget everything after knowing so much. Many old people don't even know what they are talking about. They don't even remember their grand children's names. This shows how we are nothing and Allah is able to do everything. Thus, we should always be mindful of our Lord and be dutiful towards Him.
