On another occasions all the ministers approached Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi and complain why he appointed Ayaz as the chief minister, because he has no qualification or required experience to perform the Job of chief minister. As a matter of fact we are with you for long time and have all the required qualification and experience to perform the job of chief minister very well.
Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi said do you want me to prove that Ayaz is more worthy for the post of chief minister than all of you combined. They said yes please; prove that Ayaz is best suitable for the post of chief minister, so that we should not have any complaints in future against him.
So tomorrow all of you come to my court and I will going to prove that this Ayaz is most deserving person for the position of chief minister. Next day all the ministers come together and Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi was seated on his throne and a very expensive huge Gem was kept infront of him. Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi calls the first minister and asks him to take a very closer look of the Gem and ask him to give the value of the Gem. Minister after examining the Gem very carefully tells Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi that, it is very expensive Gem cost one million dirhams. Then Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi asks, what will be the value of this Gem if it broke? Minister reply that this Gem has no value if it breaks! To test this minister Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi ask him to break the Gem stone, minister hesitant to break the Gem stone, because it is very expensive Gem stone. This minister left the place without breaking the Gem stone.
Then Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi calls the second minister and asks him to take a very closer look of the Gem and ask him to give the price for the Gem. Second minister after examining the Gem very carefully tells Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi that, it is very expensive Gem cost two million dirhams. Then Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi asks, what will be the value of this Gem if it broke? Minister reply that this Gem has no value if it breaks! To test this second minister Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi ask him to break the Gem stone, minister hesitant to break the Gem stone, because it is very expensive Gem stone. This second minister also left the place without breaking the Gem stone.
Finally Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi calls Ayaz and asks him to take a very closer look of the Gem and ask him to give the price for the Gem. Ayaz after examining the Gem very carefully tells Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi that, it is very expensive Gem and gave the highest value then all the ministers. Then Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi asks, what will be the value of this Gem if it broke? Ayaz reply that this Gem has no value if it breaks! To test Ayaz, Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi ask him to break the Gem stone, Ayaz breaks it very easily without any hesitation. So Sultan Mahmood Ghaznawi says, Ayaz you broke such an expensive Gem stone. For that Ayaz reply, you command to break is more value then the Gem stone itself.
This is called total and complete surrender and obedience or Al-Ubudiyah, nothing is more valuable then pleasing and pleasure of Allah (SWT).
