Life Changing Tool By Shadab Akhter
“If we encounter am man of
rare intellect we should ask him what books he read”
###
Nobody can deny books are great
resources of the ideas, creativity, thoughts feeling, emotions and many more.
In fact books can bring big changes in human life. Healthy and comprehensive
reading of motivational book is the proof of the man with rare intellect.
Instead of the above virtues of the book it also brings the readers from the
dark side to the luminous side of the life. Some time readers are unable to
decide which book would be better for them. Choosing books for reading depends
on interest, usefulness of the readers. Some of the readers are interested in
fiction; story, novels and play but some of them are interested in nonfiction
piece of writing; autobiography, informative books like science, based on
fact and figures. Less number of the readers hardly take interest in reading of
wild life and nature. Similarly like different moods of the readers I am fond
of reading autobiography.
In my college time, Once I was
roaming nearby faculty of Arts AMU, luckily my eyes fallen on hoarding written, “A
book fiesta 2015”. Unintendedly I moved towards book install and saw a huge
crowed over there and books were piled high on many shelves. To see ample
numbers of the books I was contemplating to purchase it, meanwhile I was about
to leave the book stall. By the grace of Almighty my eyes fallen on a book entitled “Enjoy of life” at the end of
the last row of the shelves .I picked it up and set my eyes over the content of
the books. Then I turned over the pages and read the forewords of the book on
the spot. After reading the forewords I came to know about the writer. The
writer was not a simple man but was the man of rare intellect. He was well
known preacher, orator as well as potential reformer named “Mohammad Abd Al
Arifi”, Juma khateeb in Madeena. I was wondered to see the opening part of the
book. Title of the lesson was closer to my interest and wants. It was telling
the virtue of true happiness of life based on attitude, human psychology,
etiquette, and manner. Most importantly every chapter was quoting the life of
Mohammad’s (PBUH) life and His companion. I won’t hesitate to say that none of
the entire creature of the universe can be better than Mohammad (PBUH) ever.
Even a Christian writer, Micheal
H. Heart placed Mohammad ( PBUH) at the first in his Book ‘THE 100’where he
mentioned that Mohammad (PBUH) is the most influential personality in the
world.
Unfortunately, at that time I was
running out of cash but I was helpless to control my desire to purchase this
book. So I rushed to one of my friends and borrowed money from him. He didn’t
enquire anything he just picked up two crunchy leaves of hundred and handed
over me happily.
I moved with fast steps
delightfully towards the book stall and paid two hundreds for the book. When I
was on the way having book in my hand, I felt that I have achieved what I
wanted in my life. I forgot having lunch and completing my college assignment
on that day. I was helpless to control myself to read the book, so on the same day
I had read dozens of chapters in single sitting. I wonder still how I read such bulky
book containing 91 chapter 600 plus page within a week. Soon after the
influence of the book started to work upon me as a magic. How instantly I
became lovable fellow and dear among the class, in the hostel, in the family,
in the locality and public places. It is still a surprising secret of my life.
“May Allah bless the writer and
his family and grant them long, healthy and happy life”.
