A dream.

[i]I received the following through a forwarded email...Nice contemplation piece...[/i]

Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him. The man

ran to a tree, climbed on to it and sat on a branch. He looked down and

saw that the lion was still there waiting for him. The man then looked to

his side where the branch he was sitting on was attached to the tree and

saw that two rats were circling around and eating the branch. One rat was

black and the other one was white. The branch would fall on the ground

very soon.




The man then looked below again with fear and discovered that a big black

snake had come and settled directly under him. The snake opened its mouth

right under the man so that he will fall into it. The man then looked up to see

if there was anything that he could hold on to. He saw another branch with

a honeycomb. Drops of honey were falling from it. The man wanted to taste

one of the drops. So, he put his tongue out and tasted one of the fallen drops

of honey.



The honey was amazing in taste. So, he wanted to taste another drop.

As he did, he! got lost into the sweetness of the honey. Meanwhile, he

forgot about the two rats eating his branch away, the lion on the ground and

the snake that is sitting right under him. After a while, he woke up from his

sleep.



To get the meaning behind this dream, the man went to a pious scholar of

Islam. The scholar said "The lion you saw is your death. It always chases

you and goes where ever you go. The two rats, one black and one white,

are the night and the day. Black one is the night and the white one is the

day. They circle around, coming one after another, to eat your time as they

take you closer to death. The big black snake with a dark mouth is your grave.



It's there, just waiting for you to fall into it. The honeycomb is this world and the

sweet honey is the luxuries of this world. We like to taste a drop of the luxuries

of this world but it's very sweet. Then we taste another drop and yet another.



Meanwhile, we get lost into it and we forget about our time, we forget about our

death and we forget about our graves."



May Allah wake us up from the sleep and save us before it's too late.
