I have been trying to figure out why so many of us are
incompetent and lazy and i have found a very interesting reason for that. We as a Muslims have a firm believe that
everything that happens to us either good or bad, somehow all the time, God is
responsible for all our actions for example like when someone dies in a car
accident we say that it was a God’s will without realizing that it was the
fault of our own because we were over speeding and we broke the red light or
when someone fails in business or when someone doesn’t gets a job or when a Air
Plane carrying 148 Passengers crashes we always say it’s a God will and make
ourselves feel good and move on. This is how we easily blame God for all our
faults, incompetence, inability and inefficiency and we never take any responsibility
for our actions. We don’t focus on the harsh realities that were actually the
cause of bad things. Just like PIA cannot save lives only by doing sadqa(Charity
to prevent bad things) before flight it can do it by improving technical maintenance
of Air planes because one lac flight are not flying daily on sadqa around the
world.
On the contrary we if something good happens we take full
credit for that like if we narrowly escape a accident we tell stories to people
how “we” did the right thing. Or when someone succeeds in business or accomplish
something good we take full responsibility for that or when we do any good
thing we make sure people see how Good, Competent and Intelligent we are and this
makes me wonder that are we Humans really a Hypocrite by nature?
If we won’t take responsibility for our faults and if we
cannot figure out the causes of a failure we cannot improve as a individual and
also as a nation. Think about it.
