Story of La ilaha ila Allah!
There is no god but Allah!
There was a sheikh who was teaching his students Aqeedah (faith),
He Taught them la ilaha ila Allah and explain to them, educated them just like how the Messenger of Allah,
صلى الله عليه و سلم
Taught his companions faith and planted it within themselves.
The sheikh loved breeding birds and he had a cat. So he was given a parrot by one of the students as a gift. And with days the Sheikh liked the parrot. And he use to take him in his lessons, Until the parrot knew how to say la ilaha ila Allah, He use to utter it night and day. One day the students found their sheikh crying and sobbing. When they asked him, he told them the cat attacked the parrot and killed it. They told him, if is this the reason why you are crying, we will bring another parrot better than this.. The sheikh said i am not crying because of this. But it made me cry when the cat attacked the parrot it was shouting and screaming until it died. He use to say la ilaha ila Allah a lot, however, when he was attacked by a cat he forgot. He did nothing but scream! Because the parrot said it with his tongue only but his heart did not learn it. Then Sheikh said: I am #afraid to be like this parrot. We live our lives repeating la ilaha il Allah with our tongues but when death comes we forget. We don't remember it because our hearts did not know it.
So he sat with his students and they started crying in fear of lack of honesty in la ilaha ila Allah.
