"The True Measure of Success"

 "The True Measure of Success"

"I consider it essential to clarify that I am not a writer for the elite but rather a common man's writer. I have never been concerned with what the elite or aristocracy think about me. Throughout my long journalistic career, I have always advocated for the common man and the issues he faces.

Today, I have come with another questionnaire. If I ask you, dear readers, how much you earn or how much you have earned, some of you will say you earn hundreds, thousands, lakhs, or even crores. I accept all your answers and pray for your prosperity, asking God to grant you more.

But let's pause here. You may earn a lot, but if you haven't earned the prayers of the people, then all your earnings will be worthless in the court of the Almighty. Remember, prayers are not bought or sold; they are earned.

Now, let's move on to the next question: where do you live? Some of you will say you live in a five-marla house, while others will say they have a ten-marla or a one-kanal house. Some will boast about their luxurious bungalows or farmhouses, while others will say they live in a posh sector of Islamabad. I am not concerned about your answers, and I pray for your prosperity.

But remember, in the court of the Almighty, it doesn't matter whether you live in a small house or a grand mansion. What matters is whether you live in the hearts of people. If you don't have a place in people's hearts, then your residence is meaningless.

The purpose of my writing today is to remind you that earning the prayers of people is the easiest skill to acquire. All you need to do is step out of your own self and make an effort. Then, you will see how God's blessings, mercy, and peace will shower upon you. May all be well and may all be happy. I am a seeker of salvation and your humble servant.
