JUMMAH SERMON There lived a horse which was very beautiful and had many good qualities. But the horse wanted to be more perfect in every way. It particularly wanted to be more beautiful. One day, the horse prayed to God "Oh Lord, you have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities, too. I am so grateful to you. But how I wish you could make me more beautiful. I would be extremely grateful if you could make me more beautiful." The God said, "I am more than ready to make you more beautiful. Tell me in what ways you want to be changed." The horse said, "It seems to me that I am not well proportioned. My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be infinitely more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much longer and thinner, then I will look infinitely more beautiful in my lower body." The God said, "Granted" Then, the horse became a camel immediately. The horse was so disheartened and started crying, "Oh Lord, I wanted to become more beautiful. In what way am I more beautiful in this form?" A camel? The God said, "This is exactly what you asked for. You have become a camel." The horse cried, "Oh no, I do not want to become a camel, I wish to remain a horse. As a horse, everybody appreciated my good qualities. Nobody will appreciate me as a camel." The God said, "Never try to achieve or receive more than I have given you. If you want to lead a life full of desires, then at every moment you will want more and more. But you have no idea what the outcome will be. If you cry for a longer neck and legs, this is what will happen. Everything in my creation has its own good qualities. The camel is not as beautiful as you are, but it carries heavy loads and has a tremendous sense of responsibility. MORAL: BE CONTENTED! HAPPY WORSHIP TO ALL MOSLEMS AND HAPPY FRIDAY TO ALL!
