A day without....
Imagine a day without eyesight....
You are unable to see the lovely faces during the day, the vividly colorful flowers, the lush green grass of the fields, the radiant blue sky, the translucent, turquoise ocean....
Imagine a day without the sense of smell.....
You are incapable of distinguishing between the mouth watering aroma of a freshly baked apple pie and an oven toasted butter croissant, nor are you able to enjoy the near eupohric fragrance of your favourite cologne or perfumes. You are indifferent to the tantalizing smell of a healthy, bloody-red rose as you are to the pungent odor that radiates from a dead, rotting fish....
Imagine a day without the sense of hearing....
You are immune to the annoying, sound of the heavy-doppler-effect-creating 18-wheelers that flash past the balcony of your aparment, and at the same time you wish you weren't. You are able to see lips all around you constantly opening and closing, but they all seem like fishes that do so repetitively without being audible. You want to go to the movie theater, but you can't because you can't appreciate the boisterous, yet crystal clear sounds generated by the huge, commercial speakers that make watching movies in theaters a unique experience....
We as humans take everything we possess for granted, without realizing the importance of certain possessions or gifts from God. If we were to God forbid lose one of our senses, or an important organ one day, could you possibly fathom how difficult life would be, being aware of the fact that you once had something priceless which you no longer have, and may most likely never again possess? Close your eyes, walk up to someone in the house, and without uttering a word, ask them to take you to the fridge, and if you can accomplish the two, block your nostrils by pinching your nose and holding it down while eating an entire meal. Think about what it would feel like to live your life in the above manner for the rest of your life, without the sense of eyesight, without the sense of hearing, or without the ability to speak. Think.

lovely.we take our health for granted.esp being young even illnesses are things which happen 2 "other people"..just thinking of losing one of our faculties is so frightening.take even for instance the killer earthquake that struck pakistan and the kashmir valley..what if it had struck right where i am?scary!!
I am suffering from 1-2 second black outs because of some deficiency so I know how it feels. Nostrils are closed. Makes me remember BLACK the movie.
loved the post- we have SO much that we should be grateful for compared to so many unfortunate people yet we complain about the petty things in life.. i dont know if u have watched the movie black or not but after i saw it, a weird realization hit me- we really are SO blessed alhumdulillah.. and we cannot even imagine how someone who doesnt have even one of his/her must have to go through..
as for the previous post abt bush- aaaaggghhhhh!! whatever happened to him being asked by "Lord" to fight wars!
Salam!
Beautiful Asad bhai (Y)
We should be thanksful to Allah (swt) for giving us everything.
