If we do so and if our pocket is empty our stomach too would remain empty!

If we do so and if our pocket is empty our stomach too would remain empty!! Those nations, which do not rely on their own efforts and await favorable global conditions for drawing mercy from them, are sure to be destroyed. A student who does not study and awaits an unusual happening bestowing him good marks by chance is never likely to succeed.

One of the religious leaders of Islam has said something which is very important in the eyes of the wise people: “A nation that has natural resources on land and in water but does not utilize these great divine blessings and becomes poor, the Almighty Allah would drive it away from His Mercy.” No nation of the world has ever won nor any individual ever succeeded without utilizing the apparent natural causes.

They must have taken the trouble to walk towards the goal with a strong faith in Allah’s Omnipotence, without waiting for favorable chances. In the words of a poet: A great man must have a greater resolution to solve his difficulties. Freedom depends on the sword. So great people always rely on it. It is a law of nature that those who get habituated to rest, ease and luxury, Are sure to be weakened. May be some people or nations get some success owing to chance.

But success resulting through chance is as baseless as winning a gamble. In the words of a wise man: “A short cut is most difficult and dangerous. Though long routes do take more time to pass through but man reaches his destination safely and easily.” Sometimes man also reaches his destination via short cuts. But if a nation remains idle waiting for a short cut it is doomed.

Advanced societies never wait for chances, but idle and lazy people who do not even want to think always say: “Just see this chance! Man must be so lucky...” However, a thing, which has never contributed to the success of the nations, is something called ‘coincidence’ or ‘chance’. If the advanced people have ever got a chance it was the chance to work and to strive.

Those who do not want to perspire and want to scale great heights via the imaginary staircase of ‘chance’ fall down before they could go any further. It is said that an apple incidentally fell on Newton and he discovered one of the greatest laws of (the law of gravity). However there is misunderstanding here as people have seen such things several times but never discovered any laws from them. The truth is that Newton possessed the necessary means for finding out the said law.
