SHAFAQNA – It is narrated from Imam Sadeq (AS) who narrated from the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) who said: The most neglectful of the people is the one who does not learn lessons from changes which are taking place in the world [1]. It is also mentioned in Ayah 45 of Surah Al-Ibrahim: “And you dwelt in the dwellings of men who wronged their own souls; you were clearly shown how God dealt with them; and God put forth (many) parables for your benefit!” This holy Ayah warns those who reach a position in government or any other place that the position you are occupying today used to belong to some other people. They went and you came, and now you are occupying someone else’s position. The important point is that the current situation is not going to last forever. The human being must take lessons from all these types of ups and downs in life.
