Sultan Mahmood had a servant whose name was Ayyaz. Ayyaz was well
known for his good manners and wisdom. Once, Sultan Mahmood was
holding a precious jewel in his hand while sitting with his ministers.
He told one of the ministers to break the jewel. Since the jewel was
very expensive, the minister refused to break it. Thenthe Sultan told
another minister to break it. He also denied to break the jewel. One
by one all the ministers refused to break the precious jeweldue to its
great value. Now, Sultan Mahmood passed the jewel to Ayyaz and told
him to break it. Ayyaz immediately took the stone to his hand and
threw it hard on the floor. The jewel shattered into pieces. The
Sultan asked Ayyaz why he broke the jewel while others denied to do
so. Ayyaz said "The jewel is valuable, but your order is more
valuable."
We should learn from this story that even if thethings of this world
are very precious and valuable, the orders of Allah are much more
valuable. So, we should follow them.
