Humans Nature
God gave humans a beautiful form and intellect. Theoretically, he speaks prophetically, but in practice, he often performs satanic acts. He knows very well that if he speaks wrongly and performs bad deeds, the consequences are very bad and damaging. However, humans does so many things that this world remains filled with evil and corruption forever. Good stories of humans now seem like a joke that is acted upon. The writer himself is acting upon it. Thus it seems like a joke.
The other side of it is more impressive: reading gives pleasure. A person gets spiritual purity for a short time. However, this is not a long-lasting pleasure. Thus, God created man as a very complex computer model about which no kind of accurate prediction can be made. Man is a funny and sad movie. We should enjoy his story. Oh, we enjoy the sweet, bitter, and strange stories of human nature.
What is Human Nature?
It is said that two women came to the famous judge “Ibn Abi Laila.” He was a well-known judge of his time.
The judge said, “Who will speak first?”
One of them said, “You start.”
Then the other began to say,
Oh, judge! I have no siblings… My mother passed away suddenly. I had not yet recovered from the shock that my father had also passed away.
This is my aunt — who has a daughter of her own, who is four or five years younger than me — she brought me to her house to see how a young girl could live alone.
Then my cousin asked for a relationship, so my aunt got me married to him.
A few years later, my aunt observed my husband’s character, understanding, and good behavior closely. He was a very cheerful, polite, and religious person.
Seeing all this, my aunt thought that if such a good man became her daughter’s husband, his fate would be bright.
Unbeknownst to me, my aunt started trying to get her daughter into my husband’s heart instead of me. When she was sure that my husband liked her daughter, she made a condition:
‘I will give you my daughter in marriage, but the condition is that you entrust me with the affairs of your first wife (i.e., mine).’
My husband accepted this condition.
Then on the very day when her daughter’s marriage was completed, my aunt came to me and said:
‘Now your husband is my daughter’s husband, and he has given me authority over you.
Therefore, I declare, you are divorced!’
Thus, I became divorced from my wife in an instant.
Then my aunt sent her husband on a business trip immediately after her daughter’s marriage and my divorce, without informing him of my divorce.
After some time, Aunty’s husband, who was a famous poet, returned from his journey.
I said to him: ‘O aunty’s husband, will you marry me?’
After listening to the whole thing, he said: ‘Yes.’
I said: ‘But there is one condition — entrust aunty’s matter to me.’
He accepted the condition.
After the marriage, I sent a message to aunty:
“Now your husband is also my husband, and he has given me authority over you.
Therefore, I declare, You are divorced!”
One for one, Qazi Sahib!
Qazi Ibn Abi Laila stood up in surprise on hearing this and said:
‘Allahu Akbar!’
So I said,
‘Wait Qazi Sahib, the story is not over yet!’
After some time, the poet also died.
The aunt came with a demand for inheritance.
I said: ‘At the time of his death, I was his only wife. by what relationship are you claiming the inheritance?’
When my waiting period was over, the aunt came again to decide the inheritance dispute. But this time she was accompanied by her daughter and son-in-law – the son-in-law, who was actually my first husband – when she saw me, old memories were revived, and she said softly,
‘Do you want to marry me again?’
I said: ‘Yes, on one condition — entrust the matter of your wife (i.e., the aunt’s daughter) to me.’
He accepted, so after marrying her, I said to the aunt:
“O aunt’s daughter! Now your husband is also my husband, and he has given me authority over you.
Therefore, I declare, You are divorced!”
Hearing all this, Qadi Ibn Abi Laila held his head and said,
“Well, now what is the question?”
So the aunt said,
“O judge! Is it not forbidden that my daughter and I should be divorced, and this woman should take away both our husbands and our inheritance?”
The judge replied:
“By Allah! I do not find anything forbidden in this – a man married, divorced, and gave a power of attorney; this is the Sharia!”
Later, the judge Ibn Abi Laila went to the court of the Caliph Mansur and told the whole story.
The Caliph laughed so much that he started stamping his feet on the ground and said,
“May Allah destroy this old woman; she kept digging a hole for others and fell into it herself!”
All these countless incidents make us aware of the evil nature of human beings. A person can destroy all relationships for his own benefit. He cries for a lifetime over this destruction. However, the angel does not return. But why does he portray himself as an angel in his words and writings, or why does he try to make others into one? The answer to this question is nowhere to be found.
Let’s read another story about how complex human nature and the mind are.
It is said that a man met a Roman philosopher. The philosopher invited him to his table. When the man started drinking broth, he saw something like a snake in the cup. But out of embarrassment, he continued drinking. After going home, he was worried about what he had drunk.
Indeed, at night, he started having severe stomach pains, which disturbed his sleep. In the morning, he reached the philosopher in search of medicine.
But when the philosopher told him that there was no snake in the broth, but rather a reflection of the picture on the ceiling, and to prove this, he took out the broth again and immediately saw the snake’s reflection in it, so he was amazed.
Knowing this fact, his stomach pain immediately disappeared.
That is, the snake existed only in his mind. Illusion has a strange power, which can turn into a tangible reality within a person.
That is why Ibn Sina said:
“Delusion is half the disease, complacency is half the medicine, and patience is the first step to healing.”
