Following Without Knowledge

“Go to the market and buy some eggplant”, a teacher orders his student.

“And when you’re done, just throw it through the kitchen window of my house. Later my wife will use it to cook lunch this afternoon,” the teacher adds.

His student quickly goes to the nearby shop and after buying the eggplant he goes straight to his teacher house and throws it through the window.

The next day, the teacher says again to the same student, “Go to the shop and buy some dried fishes. We’ll be cooking dried fish curry this afternoon. You throw it through my house window as usual. Later when my wife comes back from teaching she’ll will cook it.”

The obedient student quickly goes to the shop and do as what he was told.

Third day. The teacher says, “Today we’ll be eating egg grease curry. You go to the shop and buy 10 eggs.”

Without any delay, the student goes straight to the shop to buy eggs. When he arrives by the window, without thinking further he throws the eggs he bought straight away. Just following the examples of his teacher order, like the previous days.

Lessons: Following without thinking will destroy rational mind. Whilst rational mind is compulsory to have a clean heart. Isn’t the existence and mightiness of Allah is sowed inside the heart through the call to think and observe His creation with thoughtful mind?
