People always quote Hamlet saying "To be, or not to be: that is the question", though i think there's a more critical question in each one's life that comes after "being" which is "leaving a legacy"..!
I know that most of the people reading this thought have heared,read or discussed the legacy issue a lot of times before. I'm also sure that some of the readers-including me- may have felt -at least once- that the word became a cliché that is overused in any training,event,motivational speech...etc.
So I'm not here to talk about the concept itself. I just wanted to share a thought about it which is summarized in a Verse in the Quran where i always feel the meaning of "the legacy".Whenever i read or hear the word "legacy" , i link it to the the following verse (especially the underlined part)
أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاء مَاء فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَةٌ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّيْلُ زَبَدًا رَّابِيًا وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ ابْتِغَاء حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَاعٍ زَبَدٌ مِّثْلُهُ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ وَالْبَاطِلَ فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاء وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الأَرْضِ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الأَمْثَالَ
سورة الرعد
اية 17
May Allah make us all from the ones who leave a real legacy :)
