A Lesson from Disabled People

Once, a visitor was being shown around a leper colony in India. The colony was built to provide a shelter for those people who were poor and had various physical disabilities. At noon a gong (a metal disk that produces a sound when hit with a hammer) sounded to gather the inhabitants for the midday meal. People came from all parts of the compound to the dining hall. Suddenly, everyone started laughing at seeing two young men, one riding on the other's back, pretending to be a horse and a rider. They were having lots of fun. As the visitor watched, he was told that the man who carried his friend was blind, and the man being carried was lame (who couldn't walk). The one who couldn't see used his feet; the one who couldn't walk used his eyes. Together they helped each other and reached their destination.
Let us use each other's strengths to make up for the weaknesses of others. Our strength is in unity, not in division.

=======================================

This is an important lesson in itself but it also teaches us not to be jealous of people but rather be happy for them because you can make them use their abilities for the better . If we all fill in each others gaps, we will Inshaallah have a well structured Ummah and Islam will prevail!

And please please please dont backbite about people, especially disabled people bacause then you will inshaallah feel guilty and you will be punished, instead try to help them with what you have.
