One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love. Love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment. When the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, “Richness, can you take me with you?”
Richness answered, “No, I can’t. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you.” Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. “Vanity, please help me!” “I can’t help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat,” Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked, “Sadness, let me go with you.” “Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!” Happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her.

Suddenly, there was a voice, “Come, Love, I will take you.” It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went his own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder, Love asked Knowledge, another elder,
“Who Helped me?” “It was Time,” Knowledge answered. “Time?” asked Love. ”But why did Time help me?”
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, “Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is.

Abu ‘Inabah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, Allah has vessels among the people of the earth, and the vessels of your Lord are the hearts of his righteous servants. The most beloved of them to him are the softest and most tender of them.”

Grade: Qawi (strong) according to Al-Albani

In the above parable, love was it the center of the context, just as it is in the reality. But love is paralyzed without knowledge and time. Like the other two are paralyzed without love. With time knowledge converts into value, but love also is authenticated by time. What is the worth of cold, inhuman knowledge, which is not fertilized by love? Without knowledge and love, time is a wasted time. And what's the use of these three, if those are just blank phrases and there is no human heart will accept them?

Why do these three get stuck in me? Because neither is bound to any particular group of humans. None of those can be privatized. None of them is just "our dog's puppy!" These three breaks down boundaries and connect identities.
Why is the world a bad place at the moment? Because these three don't work together.

We ask the wrong questions to ourselves and to others. As long as we automatically ask what I get in return, we are in a business deal with the world and business forces us in captivity. When time comes and it becomes general to ask: what can I do for you? At this point, the business will cease and devotion starts. Marriages, father-son relationships, friendships, and social conducts would function properly. Neither knowledge nor love nor time tolerate being priced. The time if it is priced is usury or interest. The love if it is priced is prostitution. The knowledge if it is priced is phalanstery. So, the answer to the question why the world is a bad place: because we all live in phalansteries, where we pay interest after our time and if we desire love .... we know whom we get.

There are always exceptions, I hope you are one of them. May Allah bless you all.
