"So does it mean we are stuck in our homes until this is over," said the boy who was watching the news with his mother..."

"I am afraid yes," said the mother sadly as she heard a knock on the door.

The mother went and opened the door and led her husband in...

"Hoof! finally got those masks and sanitizers. It was really hard to find and were very expensive" said the father as he came in with shopping bags in his hands.

"I can't believe it. That's what people are doing, raising the price of the things that people are in desperate need of these days......

"What can I say..., people only think for themselves, ..." said the father.

"Daddy we will help them," said the boy who was listening to his parent's conversation very attentively.

"We will try our best honey, we will provide needy people with sanitizers and masks so that they could protect themselves from this virus." said the father.

"you won't believe what I saw today, people were gathered to sue the governer because they think he is responsible for this torment from Allah.how can people be so foolish, nor that they should seek forgiveness from Allah they are blaming each other." said the mother

"what do you mean mommy?" asked the boy curiously

His father decided to tell him a story to make it clearer to him about what his mother said.

"....... so it began in a forest where there was a lion. As the lion was a brave king of the forest, everyone feared him. He was a wise protector of the land. One day a female gorilla had to leave so it left it's a child with the lion because she knew nothing in the land would harm it if it was with the lion. It placed her child on the back of the lion and asked it to protect him from any danger. The lion protected it from every harm that came in its way but one faithful day an eagle flew over the lion and captured the baby gorilla in its claws.

When the gorilla returned she was surprised to see that its child was missing. When she asked the lion where it's child was the lion answered...

"I protected your child from every harm that came from land but I couldn't protect it from anything that came from up above. I am the king of this forest and I have fulfilled my responsibility of protecting anything on the land. Why do you expect me to defend it from a creature that can fly?"

"So you see son we cannot blame each other for this torment. The only way we can win is by uniting and helping the ones who need us at this time. We must stay in our homes. stay clean and maintain social distancing until inshallah very soon this gets over. We must seek forgiveness and pray for our protection.
