Thought Provoking Moral Story

Once a young boy saw a cocoon of a butterfly with a very small opening. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through the small opening.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no farther. Then the boy decided to help the butterfly, so he took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily.

But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The boy continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time.

Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings.

It was never able to fly.

What the boy in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Moral: Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we don’t go through any difficulties in our life we would be crippled . We would not be as strong as what we could have been.

And we could never fly.

One is created in this life to live in ever contimuing struggel (Jihad) to do good deeds, to avoid bad self desires, to help others, to perform ritual worships, etc… This makes him/her stronger and closer to God and hence deserves God Paradise (or Heaven) and get protected from Hell fire.
