the pond was dug, the king made an announcement to his people saying
that one person from each household has to bring a glass of milk
during the night and pour it into the pond. So, the pond shouldbe full
of milk by the morning. After receiving the order, everyone went home.
One man prepared to take the milk during the night. He thought
thatsince everyone will bring milk, he could just hide a glass of
water and pour inside the pond. Because it will be dark at night,
noone will notice. So he quickly went and poured the water in the pond
andcame back. In the morning, the king came to visit the pond and to
his surprise the pond was only filled with water! What has happened is
that everyone was thinking like the other man that "I don't have to
put the milk, someone else will do it."
Dear friends, when it comes to help the Religion of Allah, do not
think that others will takecare of it. Rather, it starts from you, if
you don't do it, no one else will do it. So, change yourself to the
way of Allah to serve Him and that will make the difference.
