Morality is more precious than gold – The Edge of the Sword – ✍️ Muhammad Al-Sadiq
0 There is no doubt that the Islamic religion has taught us the meaning of morality and how to handle it in this turbulent life. Because morality has an inestimable value, I leave you with this true story that transformed a champion athlete from an ordinary person into a successful businessman, and he achieved this through his morality before his achievements. So let's move on to the story of the hero Rashwan and what happened in it.
0 Muhammad Rashwan was a distinguished judo player who was able to win several championships, even winning the African Championship; At that time, a two-line news came out (that he had won the championship).
Rashwan remained out of the sight and ears of the Egyptians until the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, where Rashwan played match after match and won each match by a sweep.
Everyone was surprised that the son of Egypt played the last match. For the first time in its history, Egypt is on course to win an Olympic medal, gold or silver.
0 Newspapers began to write, radio stations began to talk, and television began to extol the name of the hero…
With lightning speed, all Egyptians recognized him, and the final match was broadcast live, and the Egyptian and Arab people stayed up late, watching and praying that the champion from Alexandria would win the gold medal. Even though his opponent was the terrible Japanese world champion Yamashita
But
At the beginning of the match, observers noticed something very strange: Rashwan was in the fight with his opponent, but did not touch him on the leg!
It's incredible in judo!!
He lost so many points!
0 Here the whole world heard the cries of Rashwan's coach as he told him: “Hit him on the left leg… Hit him on the left leg and bring gold to Egypt.”
But Rashwan's response was that he refused and he didn't even try to score a point in that manner.
Japan won gold and Egypt won silver.
Of course, as an audience, we were very sad about the loss of gold, and we don't understand why Rashwan didn't play hard, was lax and refused to follow his coach's instructions!
0 Soon the press conference took place and a foreign journalist stood up and asked Rashwan: Why didn't you follow your coach's instructions?
Rashwan replied: “I received confirmed information that the Japanese hero had a torn medial ligament in his left knee and any powerful kick could destroy it completely, but he hid the news and decided to play and sacrifice himself because he represents his country.”
Here the same journalist asked him: But it was a great opportunity, and it was better that you won!!
Why didn't you take advantage of the opportunity and get gold for your country?
Here is Muhammad Rashwan's historic response: “My religion prevents me from hitting an injured person and threatening his future for the sake of a medal!”
0 At that moment, everyone stood up and applauded for the Muslim hero of Alexandria…
And then:
UNESCO honored him for these great moral values.
He was chosen for having the best sports ethics in the world.
The organizing committee awarded him an honorary gold medal because he truly deserved it.
His fame spread throughout the world.
The Japanese especially honored him and welcomed him during his later visit to Japan as a crowned king.
And then millions of people began to search for this great religion which commands those who embrace it this noble morality!!!
Data and statistics indicate that more than fifty thousand people worldwide have declared their conversion to Islam because of this position.
Among those who declared their conversion to Islam was Rico.
This Japanese girl who loved him and he loved her and they got married.
She gave birth to Ali, Omar and Alia, and they all lived in Alexandria after he later became a prominent international referee, member of the World Football Federation and an Alexandrian businessman.
*Wisdom*
If Rashwan had won gold, he would not have received half the honor, appreciation and love that he received in the hearts of the world.
That's the moral, gentlemen.
Religion is a transaction before it is an act of worship.
Religion is good morality and mercy is the basis of calling, as God Almighty mentions in His Noble Book: “And We have not sent you except as a mercy to the worlds.”
0 Finally, we say..
Nations have no morals
I stayed
If their morality is gone
They went
Your command is good for morality
His reference
He came forward with the moral
You stand up straight
0 Tomorrow, God willing, we will continue if there is any remnant of life left. I swear there is no intention behind this.
