Khansa was one of the most intelligent students of her class. One day she returned home from school. While eating lunch, his mother realized that he was deep in thought. She asked:
"Daughter! What are you thinking?"
Khansa spoke:
"Aman Jan! Today our Urdu ki Ustani Sahiba has asked us to write an essay on the words of Quaid-i-Azam work, work and only work. I'm thinking how can a human being work all the time? Like my heart wants to play, sleep and travel too. You can't study all the time! After all, why did Quaid-e-Azam give us such advice?
Ama Jan Khansa smiled at the worried look on her forehead and said:
"Daughter! First eat in peace, then I will explain to you why the founder of Pakistan gave this advice to his nation."
After finishing the meal, Khansa sat in the room anxiously waiting for her mother to come. When she came, she immediately said:
"Mother John! Now tell me."
Amma Jan smiled and said:
"Daughter! You have seen that in the morning, birds, insects, but also humans start their work to fulfill their food and living needs. The sun rises and sets at its appointed time. The moon also travels on its fixed path and the earth constantly revolves around the sun, thus creating day, night and seasons.”
Khansa was listening attentively to Ami, she asked:
"Oh dear! You mean that just like the earth and the moon are always working, so we should be working all the time?"
Amma Jan smiled and said:
"No daughter! I don't mean it." I just want to explain that Allah Ta'ala has assigned a responsibility to everything in the universe. In the same way, human beings should also recognize their responsibilities and never be afraid of working hard.
I am not afraid of hard work, but I can't work all the time, can I? I also like playing with friends and going to the park.”
"Daughter! This statement of Quaid-e-Azam does not mean that a person should give up rest, play or entertainment, but it means that a person should always avoid laziness and laziness, value his time and perform his duties with full diligence and honesty. There is a poem by Allama Iqbal that
The destiny of nations is in the hands of individuals
Every individual is the star of the destiny of the nation...
Amma Jan had a smile on her face. Khansa spoke quickly:
"I understand, mother!"
"What did you understand! Tell me..."
"That we should work hard for the achievement of our goal and the development of the country and never give up on work."
After listening to Khansa's words, Amma Jan suddenly said:
"Absolutely daughter! This is what the Quaid wanted from us.
Both mother and daughter started smiling.
