Abdul was a parson in his village. He was so wise and kind. The people in his village assumed that Abdul was the main figure who could give them good advice and good steps in life. He always lectured in the mosque, with several and different topics. Every time he would give a sermon in the mosque, he didn’t bring any book. What amazing Abdul was.

Abdul had many students whom became figures in their village. So Abdul was the figure who could make others be a figure too. The people respected him and needed him. Every problem in his village, the people always considered Abdul to solve their problem. But, they didn't know one thing about Abdul.

One day, his child, Ahmad wanted to buy something. He decided to come to his father, Abdul. Ahmad asked his mother, Shopia “Mom, where is Dad?” Shopia said to her child, “I don’t know, Son. Maybe he is in the mosque.” Ahmad directly ran to the mosque to ask his father some money.

Afterwards Ahmad arrived at the mosque. He didn’t find his father. He looked around the mosque, but he didn't find anyone there. He looked at sermon schedule board that his father, Abdul was in his turn to give a sermon. Directly, he remembered something and decided to get home, because he knew about his father doing in his turn.

Ahmad came home and got to the back of his house. After that, he looked at the rag on the floor and put it off. Unexpectedly, there was a wooden arrangement like a door. He opened it and got inside. He called his father, “Dad…, Dad…, where are you?” loudly. Abdul heard it and shouted at him, “Hey son, come here!”

The room was in the ground, it was shined by the torch light around the room. “Dad, give me some money! I want to buy a toy,” Ahmad asked some money to his father, but Abdul was writing something. When Ahmad looked at the paper, Abdul was writing the preparation for his turn to give a sermon to the people. Abdul gave his son some money and said, “Don’t tell anyone about this, okay!"

Abdul as the parson in his village, he always performed well without any rhetoric mistake. He did well by preparing the sermon. He did it continously. So Abdul told us that efforts never betray the results.
