Once, a group of people were travelling on rocks at night. A voice
came from the sky that whosoever picks up the rocks will regret and
whosoever doesn't pick up the rocks will regret. Now, the people were
confused. How can this be? Whether you pick up the rocks or not, you
will regret! Anyway, some people picked up the rocks and some didn't.
In the morning when they reached their homes, theysaw that the rocks
turned into diamonds. Now, those people who didn't pick up the rocks
started regretting saying "If only we had picked up some rocks." Those
people who did pick some rocks also started regretting saying"Why
didn't we pick up more rocks?" Both sides ended up regretting. Dear
Muslims, this same incident will take place with us on the Day of
Judgement. Those people who spent their time in useless things will
start regretting by looking at those who achieved a great position in
Paradise by spending their time in the way of Allah. Now, those who
did achieve a position in Paradise will start regretting by looking at
those who did more than them and are higher in status. "Alas! If we
had only done more to please Allah."
