Al Ghazali's Six Questions

One fine day, Al Ghazali was sitting among his students. He asked them six interesting questions.

Tell me the nearest thing in our life. His students answered: Parents, teachers, and friends. Al Ghazali said: It is death. Allah said, every soul shall have a taste of death.

Tell me the farthest place from earth. His students answered: Moon, sun, and stars. Al Ghazali said: It is the past. No matter how hard we try it, it is unreachable.

Tell me the biggest thing on earth. His students said: Mountain and ocean. Al Ghazali said: It is passion. Because of it, we can be thrown into darkest pit of the hell.

Tell me the heaviest thing on earth. His students answered: Elephant and steel. Al Ghazali said: It is the trust.

Tell me the lightest thing on earth. His students answered: Wind, dust, and cotton. Al Ghazali said: It is leaving five times pray. We leave it because of or job or business.

Tell me the sharpest thing on earth. His students answered: Sword. Al Ghazali said: It is word. Because people shall hate each other from words.
