A Sudden Turn

On a couple of occasions, he was seen conversing with friends at the central square of the city. He was heard talking about the troubles in his business, displaying an unusual sense of distress. “Oh, you starving souls, what do you know of suffering? Only when one has his fill does he start speaking the language of God,” he remarked.

A Downward Spiral

His pride and arrogance displeased the Almighty, and he fell ill. Eventually, after a few months, he departed from this world, leaving a son behind. With the son lacking the guidance of a father and possessing a fortune worth millions, he soon found himself surrounded by false friends.

The Perilous Descent

Indulging in vices and debauchery, the youth squandered his wealth swiftly. He was shown the path to Lahore, then to Karachi, and eventually to a life of crime. He drained money like water and even started selling off his lands, one by one. Eventually, he had to sell the house his father had built.

The Lingering Lesson

Though this tale might seem fictional, one thing is clear: the Almighty does not approve of arrogance.
