Zubeen was born in a very poor family but his desire for learning helped him to receive education and he grew up to be a civilized man. Zubeen was hard working, a firm believer of God praying five times a day. He always asked GOD to help him achieve all that he had planned by the time he is 40 so that he can enjoy the rest of his life in luxury.
Zubeen had a beautiful wife, a daughter and a son but they always complained him about his non-availability. He had everything but not time and Zubeen always used to tell them that he is working for the family’s bright future. Zubeen had set a target of getting everything accomplished by the time he was 40 even if it meant not being with the loved ones at times and working more.
Unfortunately, too much of work at the age of 36 took hold of Zubeen health and he suffered a heart attack which resulted in his death. At the gates of Heaven, Zubeen asked GOD, “Why were YOU so cruel to me? I always believed in YOU, put my head down every day for YOUR blessing and was near to something I have been working for years”
GOD replied, “Son, you never could see what you got and you were after something that was never in your control. You missed the best time with your family, you should hold on to what you have and then plan for the road ahead”.
According to Mamkol, “Life is about living first and then planning, not the other way around”.
