The judge admonished the wind (Western Disturbance) for being biased and partial in the distribution of rain and snow, and sentenced it to six months rigorous imprisonment. The wind pleaded for amnesty, but the judge paid no heed to its earnest implorations. People were perplexed to learn about the verdict. Someone asked the wind for its alleged offence that led to the harsh judgment. It bursted out and exclaimed, “I made a secret bargain with man, and entered into an unholy alliance with him to sell my conscience against a few bucks.
The man enslaved me, and I lost my discretionary prerogative to evaporate at right places and on proper time. My absolute subordination to the selfish man and his whims robbed me off my divine traits. Allah SWT had dictated me to rain irrespective of caste, creed and colour. But, I abandoned the Godly constitution, and fell prey to the hypocrisy of man. I sold my sovereignty to the viceroy of Allah SWT on the earth with the hope that he will distribute the bounties of Allah SWT impartially and equitably. But, I was mistaken.
It was a folly on my part. You can call it going ashtray. I chose the yoke of human slavery for my neck. I had been clearly instructed to shower the elixir of life upon parched and thirsty. But, my new master had other ideas. Even the creator of the universe had directed me to refrain from religious prejudice and doctrinal absolutism. But, I surrendered my liberty and neutrality to the man. And consequently, became his pawn. The man ordered me to rain over his favourite areas only.
But, very soon, I found myself sunken in the deluge obnoxious bondage. My head bowed down in shame and obloquy. I realized that selfishness is but an ugly human vice. The bizarre approach of man embarrassed me terribly. I am witness to the bitter truth of ‘Man gets and forgets, God gives and forgives’. Now, I have parted ways with the man. I have freed myself from the rapacious monopolism of the man. The viceroy has wasted the divine mandate conferred upon him by the Lord of all. I pity his cheap and mean maneuvers to grind his selfish axe.
Allah SWT will no more let him rule on His behalf. Had Allah SWT ordained the man to arrange food for his creation, millions would have been starved to death. If air and water would have been under human subjugation, billions would have been suffocated and chocked. Thank God, the man is not the absolute master of the universe. Some attributes, ranks and discretions suit Allah SWT alone
