On Farah Ghuznavi's "A small sacrifice"
The story of Farah Ghuznavi on the issue of July 29th was an excellent piece of writing. The writer, in the form of a story, pointed out a very critical and inhuman behaviour of some people towards their servants. These so-called "gentle-people" act as if their servants were born to die for their "masters". But everyone should remember that they are also human beings like us, they have the right to live like us. They are also the sons and daughters of someone, they also have feelings, they also have to dress like us and live like us. So we should always behave well with our servants. They are human beings and they can also make mistakes; we must not punish them for that. I will conclude by quoting a sentence from the final Hajj address by the Prophet (pbuh) :
"O the believers, be mindful to those who work under you;
Feed and clothe them as you feed and clothe yourself."
