"Remember! The hand
that gives from above is better than the one that receives from below."
The story unfolds with these wise words, highlighting the importance of
generosity and humility.
Story:
Saraj, after spreading
his kindness to all of God's creation, appeared self-sufficient. The narrator
poses the question: What is the significance of the hand above? The answer
follows: "The hand above gives and the hand below receives."
The Caliph, finding a
place in the gathering, moves forward and stumbles, emphasizing the message: He
emphasizes the sanctity of human creation and the significance of extending a
helping hand to others, just as one would not harm one's noble self.
The Caliph's successful journey
in fostering a sense of unity is acknowledged by some, who appreciate his
supportive gestures with his humble hands.
The narrative emphasizes
that Allah has created humans to be self-sufficient and not to showcase their
greatness only for themselves but to express their dependence on others.
In a setting where the
Friday sermon echoes amidst traffic noise, beggars' cries, and the resonance of
four hundred throats, the mosque's surroundings are bustling with people
displaying the faces of their heads.
Conclusion:
The story concludes with
the Friday sermon, where the noise subsides, and the congregation begins to
disperse. The Caliph, eagerly waiting, departs. He moves from the mosque to the
bus stop, appropriately dressed, ready to board the first bus that arrives.
The narrative shifts to a
poignant scene with Chishti Baba leading the orphan into a room, where other
children stand in line. Chishti Baba hands over a sum of money, signifying the
end of their journey together.
The story closes with the
Caliph boarding the bus, symbolizing his return to the world outside the
mosque. The tale imparts a message of compassion, kindness, and the
responsibility to care for orphans, echoing the divine commandment found in the
Quran.
