The Consequence Of Unfair Hoarding
(*Rizwana Khan*, ***Karachi***)
Once upon a time that a whole
seller named Qasim was lived in a city.He had a big go down where he was kept
sacks of different type of food stuff.He was a richest whole seller of the
city.That's why the all shopkeepers of city were takes food stuff from him.
Once there was a great shortage of sugar in the whole city.Every shopkeeper was
selling it on a high price which was not possible to purchase for
everyone.Specially poor persons.So, the citizens were worried about that but
what could they do?
They were compelled to purchase sugar on highest prices.The whole seller Qasim
had stored a lot of sacks of sugar in his go down and not sell those from before
many months because he was already knows that after some months the sugar price
would going on a highest cost due to shortage.So, he thought that when he sell
it in crises then he will got a great profit.
Now this was the right time for him to achieve that profit but unfortunately he
was suddenly suffered in leprosy .
He was very rich so, he was taking treatment to very costly doctors but the Mal
was uncontrolled and spread rapidly in the whole body.
One morning he ordered to his servants that they take all sacks of sugar and
sell to all shopkeepers.
When his servants went go down and checked all sacks.
They were remained shocked and surprised to see that all stuff was destroyed by
ants and termite.
They went back to Qasim and told him all the situation.He was very worried to
listen this but how could be done now?
Day by day he was going on to bankruptcy....All the servants were one by one
leave him because he could not pay them salary.His all collected amount was
spend on his expensive treatment.
One day his friend Shoaib was came to him.He was very sad to see his condition
and felt pity on him.
He reminded him that he was always hold down him from unfair hoarding because
our Holy prophet Hazrat Mohammad Mustafa(Peace Be Upon Him)said"That person who
retained muslims pellet and not sale at the time of necessary Allah dominates
him in leprosy and privileged."
That is why this is the reason of his recent bad condition.
Qasim was felt ashamed on his thoughts.He was taking penance to Allah and doing
pact that now he will never done unfair hoarding and hopeful that Allah will
forgive and give him best health as a mire cal.{In Shaa Allah.}
