The Echo of Life

A man and his son were walking in the forest. Suddenly the boy
trips and feeling a sharp pain, he screams, "AHHHH."
Surprised, he hears a voice coming from the mountain,
“AHHHH!”
Filled with curiosity, he screams: "Who are you?", but the only
answer he receives is: "Who are you?"
This makes him angry, so he screams: “You are a coward!” and
the voice answers: “You are a coward!"
He looks at his father, asking, "Dad what is going on?"
"Son", the man replies, "Pay attention!" Then he screams, "I
admire you!" The voice answers: "I admire you!"
The father shouts, "You are wonderful!", and the voice answers,
"You are wonderful!"
The boy is surprised, but still can't understand what is going on.
The father explains, "People call this an 'ECHO', but truly it is
'LIFE!' Life always gives you back what you give out! Life is a
mirror of your actions. If you want more love, give more love. If
you want more kindness, give more kindness. If you want
understanding and respect, give understanding and respect. If you
want people to be patient and respectful to you, give patience and
respect!
This rule of Allaah (SWT) applies to every aspect of our lives."

Life always gives you back what you give out.
Your life is not coincidence; but a mirror of your own doings.
