Truth shall win ultimately

Faith

There was a shepherd in a village and he used to take his cattles beside a river for feeding them grass. But, the grass on his side of the river were worn out while on the other side those were lush green. The river was quite big with strong current. So he couldn't dare taking his cattle swimming across.

On one Friday during the Jumma prayer the Imam of the mosque in his sermon said, " If someone starts any job by saying Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim (In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful), the most difficult task would also become easy by His Grace". Next morning the shepherd took the ropes of his cattles and saying Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim got down into the river and indeed he easily swam across to the other side with his cattles and in similar way came back. After a couple of days some people having seen that wondered if he had any divine or supernatural power, went to Imam of the mosque and brought him along.

Imam Saab asked him how he could accomplish so difficult a task. The shepherd replied, "Imam Saab it's you from whom I have learnt" and told him about his way. The villagers present there requested the Imam Saab to do the same. The Imam in reply said, "OK, if you insist, but do tie a rope around my waist in case I am in trouble."!!!

Often we say something, particularly about religion but can't have absolute faith or do not practice that. But those who can put that unflinching faith are the true believers and are rewarded in this world and will be rewarded in the hereafter.

I am sure the Imam of your story would have died in the river. It is the simplicity and inward truth which can keep us swimming in the river of life like the man in your story who is inwardly true and honest to himself. Where such simplicity, something beyond logic happens. It is not just imagination but truth. In other words,without virtually putting even small thing of religion in day to day living, nothing can improves our living and then how can we have faith? Faith is something internal, inborn. It can never be a blind faith. Therefore knowledge without practice is burden of the false on our head like our stomach has burden of overeaten food.
good post. please carry on and go ahead
