The broken laptop...

Today I received my laptop from repair center, and I was exited to use it after a month. With lot of expectation I started it and it ran like a breeze. But my happiness was short-lived as it started showing same symptoms as before. After a while my excitement transformed into frustration, disappointment and anger as it stopped working. I wanted to kick it and throw it out of the window. I thought of being betrayed, thought of not being provided proper service in spite of paying for it. The train of thought went through my mind while my wife was trying to calm me without any apparent success. Knowing me and situation she left me alone for a while. Later she came back to call me to pray as it was time for maghrib. I tried to close my mind from this matter and went for prayer.

After completing prayer I sat for a while and started to think and contemplate. How I became angry when proper service is not given to me. But many times we don't even regret when we miss prayer which Allah (Subhana wa ta'ala) has made obligatory for us. How He (Subhana wa ta'ala) would be angry when I miss to serve Him and miss prayer, and how He (Subhana wa ta'ala) would be happy when I serve him and pray with humiliation.

We must always remember that Allah (Subhana wa ta'ala) is Al-Khaliq and Ar-Razzak, the provider of all things, and He (Subhana wa ta'ala) has all the rights over us. We will never be able to repay for what He (Subhana wa ta'ala) has given us, even if we worship Him for millions of year day and night. But He (Subhana wa ta'ala) has made life easy for us, just give few minutes five times a day and He(Subhana wa ta'ala) will reward us in this and next world.
