* Are you following the majority? *

* Are you following the majority? *

 Once Hazrat Omar Razaullah was walking in the bazaar, he passed by a man who was praying,

 * "O Allah, add me to your few people, oh God, add me to your few people" *

 Hazrat Umar Raza Allah asked him, where did you learn this prayer?  He said, from the Book of Allah,

 Allah says in the Quran:

 * "And only a few of my servants are thankful." *
 (Qur'an 34:13) *

 Hadrat Umar (ra) heard this and cried and advised himself,

 "Omar! People are more knowledgeable than you, O Allah! Join me among your few."

 We see that when we ask a person to give up a sin, he says that most people do it.  I'm not alone

 If you search for "most people" in the Koran, then "most people"

 * "Most people do not know" (7: 187) *

 * "Most people do not give thanks" (2: 243) *

 * "Most people do not believe" (11:17) *

 If you search for * "most" *, you will find that most people,


 * "Most are disobedient".  (5:59) *

 * "More preferable" (6: 111) *

 * "Most of the paths are devious."  (21:24) *

 * "Don't worry too much."  (29:23) *

  * "Most do not listen" (8:23) *

 So put yourself among the * few people about whom Allah has said,

 * "My little servants are grateful" (34:13) *

 * "And no one believed except a few" (11:40) *

 * "In the gardens of fun there is more than the former and a little in later ones" (56: 12-14) *

 Add yourself to a few people and don't care if there's no one else on the way and you're alone.
