Then he added, ‘Further more, a free man will never bow to a slave.’
The King cried: ‘What you mean?’
The ascetic said calmly: ‘You are a slave to anger,greed and fame.’
Looking the King full in face he said: ‘ I have made them my servants and become a free man’
Recognizing the truth of what he heard, the King saluted the ascetic & left.
Moral: Human Nature desires power that is owned by God only, so never become slave of your desires, but become slave of the God alone.
we need to submit to ALMIGHTY’s will …
very nice lession. Thanks
Let us all become the slaves of our faith instead of being enslaved by anger, greed and fame…

he who is a servant to God, will be the king of the world
moral of the story.
FREEDOM
The moral of this story: control the ego and and you can overcome all of your weaknesses.
Moral for the above story:
Slavery is a feeling not rounding your head
Obey GOD and you will be a slave who has freedom.
Nice Story Thanks for sharing
Moral For The Story Is…
GOD HELP THOSE WHO HELP THEMSELVES
First off, very nice!
Next, i think the moral should be something like this:
“This Dunya is full of unimportant [things] so do for your Hereafter because in it, everything is important.”?!?
i dnt know if that good but i put it in simple english lol
Thanks 😀
Good try Yusef.
GOD IS KING OF KINGS
the moral of the story (king and ascetic) is God creates us free We will never let anything make us slaves .
when you can’t overcome anger, greed and fame you are a slave even if you are a king, but when you overcome them you are a king even if you are poor man.
if you don’t lean behind the world and its belonging, it will definitely come after you.:)
Moral : Think of what you have done and check weather you are perfect before judging or commenting a person
We have heard all of this anger, greed etc etc etc, Pride before a fall, but Sara, your nail has hit the Head directly through this Ascetic man, as we live our lives like the king, with all this ego, character assasination, gossip etc etc & still are not happy, because we are slaves of all the above & we need to be like the Ascetic man & surrender ourselves to the Almighty, as there is nothing impossible for him, whereever anything is impossible, he says I M POSSIBLE, so don’t be my slave, but my follower, as just be honest in whatever you do for the good & the kingdom of heaven will accept you in open arms. God Bless All.
Rightly said Stephen.
Hi Sara : The ascetic man convince the king that bow only for GOD not for the slave ,that why the king cried.Thanks
never give up to greed anger, or money and you will be a king or your life
or give me your money, you’ll be happier without it
but i think we should change the ending to the king killed that man, it’s more logical
Moral of the Story: Anger, Greed & Fame become servants to the servant of Allah.
This is sort of unrealistic, in real life this would probably end with killing this man.
Well this is a story to highlight a important point.
Thanks for yours everyday. May Allah reward you abundantly.
The story shows that the closer you are to God the wiser you will be and you will acquire higher values that make life meaningful
intersting story
I guess not everyone who looks smart is smart until you talk to one.
obliviously ascent man want to change of the servant to free liberal.
king is just serving the empire security.
It is a good lesson for all of us. I must add a MORAL for this story;
Moral: If you beg from GOD, you beg from one, otherwise you beg from every one.
The moral of the story of the KIng and the Ascétic could be:
“Being a slave of God is better than being a king of the world!” or
“Make your point/speak the truth in the right time, place, context and before the right person, in order to reach the hearts”
1st title is gr8 🙂
the more materialistic things you gain in life, the more chained you get, to really be above all we need to extinguish our greed for worldly possessions.
Always keep in mind the death, which makes a person away from money, power and rank resulting no anger and no greeding for fame.
great story!
great story.
Moral: Pride goes beforre a fall.
