Today's Ayah No 68 is continuation of Ayah No 67 in which Khizar AS told Musa AS that he could never be patient with him. He followed it up with the question in this Ayah that how could he be patient about something beyond his knowledge?
This Ayah leaves us with a conclusion and a lesson for life. The conclusion is that human knowledge is limited. Secondly, due to limited knowledge, we as specie are impatient particularly when things are beyond the limits our knowledge.
Some examples of our impatience in this reign of money gods(so we think) are:
As kids we remain impatient to lay hands on next new toy coming in the market regardless of the number of toys held with us.
As teenagers we develop love for self and apparently 'fall in love' with opposite gender because of impatient directionless love. Likewise, we engage in passions which are in fashion like Metaverse fantasy thesedays and impatiently adopt what is 'new and hip' without knowing the consequences of such things. Metaverse is anything but real and people would be eating, sleeping, defecating and urinating in the bed (my prediction) to say the least.
As we start booming babies, our impatience grows towards securing resources. More money, better car, bigger house pretty much like chasing American Dream while putting up in rural Pakistan.
Beyond forty, two things happen. We reconcile with mantra of life as we start seeing the end of the road. If reality doesn't sink in at this stage, we continue to go in circles wotshipping money god and can't think other than making another thousand, million or billion. Before we know it the money we mistakenly take as our surety bond, becomes useless collection of paper trash or metal that can't buy you health or contentment. Or it gets useful for next generation to start the same cycle all over again.
May Allah grant us patience. Ameen
