Shafaq was very sad and sad today. He was not interested in any work. Despite his efforts, his mind kept drifting towards his defeat. He had worked hard to pass the exam and hoped that a bright future would await him after passing. But contrary to expectations, she failed the exam. There was the sadness of losing, but on the other hand, there was also the fear of death from the society and especially from the dear relatives.Shafaq was in her room in the middle of the night when her father came to her. He had been feeling her depression for a long time but wanted to give her some time. Everyone in the house was saddened by Shafaq’s failure but they did not want to weaken her further by worrying in front of her. Shafaq’s father asked her to come to the kitchen and put different things in three different pots and let them boil. Shafaq was fed up with this whole process and she was very angry that why did father do this today and what is the reason for all this.
Abba had realized Shafaq’s anxiety. After the three things were boiled, they peeled the potatoes and they had gone from hard to soft. In the second pot, the eggs had boiled and hardened, and in the third kettle, the coffee bean had retained its shape and given the water its own color.Giving an example, Shafaq’s father said, “Potatoes were hard before boiling, when they were put in hot water to boil, they became weak because of difficulty, while on the other hand, eggs became stronger after boiling and had a texture. Became, that is, they faced the difficulty with enough courage. And lastly there remained Coffee Beans, who faced the hot water without any fear at all and changed the color of the hot water by their own power.
This is the life. Because life is like a journey of hot winds. There are many hardships and sufferings to be faced and we get to see that everyone’s reaction is different. Sometimes someone is afraid of troubles and sits defeated, then someone does not try to escape from any situation, but looks into the eyes of the difficulty and faces it like a man, and someone becomes such a strong tree that worries, sorrows and troubles. The winds cannot uproot it.Life has many ups and downs. Because the name of this balance is life. What matters is how we react to different situations. Someone reacts like a potato, nervous, while someone stands firmly in one place like a coffee bean. Trouble, unemployment, poverty, disease, death, are all part of life and many of them we have no control over, yet this world runs on hope.
. Humanity, service, compassion and love have definitely disappeared but they have not ended. There are still people alive who recognize their own worth, trying to turn their dusty lives into gold with effort, hard work and constant struggle. That is, if a person wants, he can make his life meaningful and if he wants, he can waste it. It is in a man’s own hands to make himself as precious as gold or as despicable as clay.This is what happens in our society that we don’t trust our own abilities and follow the wrong advice of others, which not only ruins us today but also our tomorrow is not good.In an angry, emotional state, one often makes decisions that lead to nothing but regret later. A small example of this is that we can make small decisions quickly, not big ones. Like if a friend asks to go to a movie and we go, no big loss is done but if someone assures you of love and you get married without thinking, it will become trouble for the rest of your life.
We also forget that we cannot do everything but we all have different fields in which we can show our expertise. It is not necessary that every person passes every exam successfully and this success becomes the final word for us. Nothing lasts forever, be it fame, fortune or fortune?

Yes, but this is the real opportunity for self-control and it creates integrity, integrity, dignity, dignity and strength of character in individuals and nations.
In every situation, Allah is the greatest helper, because the troubles in this world are the cause of expiation for sins and salvation in the Hereafter. For them there is good news in the religious life as well as in the hereafter, but it is a fact that the troubles that befall people in this world are the result of their fear of the future and ignorance of God. Whatever trouble befalls you is due to your own actions.We have become somewhat accustomed to artificial life, sufferings and luxuries. How difficult it has become to live a simple and natural life. Life and demands of life have confused us. And the contentment of the heart is not available, it is said in the Holy Qur’an that whoever fears standing in front of his beloved God and saves his soul from wrong desires will find rest in Paradise.
