••• Lesson From Crumpled paper •••

When I was a child, because of my impulsive character, I was angry at everything. In most cases, after these incidents I felt ashamed and I tried to console those I have hurt.

One day, my teacher saw me apologizing after an explosion of anger and handed me a sheet of plain paper and said:

Knead the paper now!

With fear, obeyed and did a ball with it. The teacher told me again, to now leave it as it was before.Obviously I could not leave it as before. The paper was still full of folds.


♥ Moral ♥ : The teacher told me: “The hearts of men are like that roll”. The impression left on them will be hard to erase just as it is hard to erase these wrinkles . So I learned to be comprehensive, and more patient.

When I feel like bursting, I remember that crumpled paper. The impression left on people is impossible to erase. When we hurt someone with our actions or our words, we just want to fix the error, but it’s too late ….

Someone once told me : “Speak only when their words can be as gentle as silence. “


We will always be responsible for our actions.

••• BURNT TOAST •••

“When I was a little Boy, I remember one day in particular when she had made breakfast. She must have been very tired. My mom placed a plate of eggs, and rather burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed.

Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my mom, and ask me how was I ready for school. I don’t remember what I replied, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jam on that toast and eat every bite!

When I got up from the table, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I’ll never forget what he said: ‘Baby, I love burned toast.’

Later that night, I went to  Daddy and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, ‘Your Momma works hard day after day and she’s real tired.


And besides a little burnt toast never hurt anyone!’ You know, life is full of imperfect things…..and imperfect people. I’m not the best football player either.

Moral ♥ : What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults – and choosing to celebrate each other’s differences – is the one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.

We should learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of Allah. Because in the end, He’s the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where burnt toast isn’t a deal-breaker!


We could extend this to any relationship in fact – as understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!!”

•••• ACTIONS SPEAKS LOUDER THAN WORDS •••• •••• WORDS WEIGH MORE THAN ACTIONS ••••

Nowadays, being Rude to others is considered COOL .. Our society have a fashionable name for it called ATTITUDE ... Attitude is basically ones approach and actions towards handling various situations. This word is now highly MISUSED !!!

Hujurat 49:11] O People who Believe! Men must not ridicule other men for it could be that the ridiculed are better than the mockers, nor must the women ridicule other women for the ridiculed women may be better than the mockers; and do not insult one another, nor assign evil nicknames; how base it is to be called a sinner after being a Muslim! And whoever does not repent - then it is they who are unjust. "

Always keep in mind that there are 4 things that you cannot recovered:

The stone… after the throw!

The word…after it’s said!

The occasion…after the loss!

The time…after it’s gone ..

After we realize, we are only left with REGRET !!!!!
THINK BEFORE U ACT !!!

DOES GOD EXIST ?

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair and his beard cut as always. He started to have a good conversation with the barber who attended him. They talked about so many things on
various subjects.

Suddenly, they touched the subject of God. The barber said: “Look man, I don’t believe that God exists as you say so.” “Why do you say that?”

Asked the client. Well, it’s so easy; you just have to go out in the street to realize that God does not exist. Oh, tell me, if God existed, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. “I can’t think of a God who permits all of these things.” The client stopped for a moment thinking but he didn’t want to respond so as to prevent an argument.

The barber finished his job and the client went out of the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with a long hair and beard (it seems that it had been a long time since he had his cut and he looked so untidy). Then the client again entered the barbershop and he said to the barber: “know what? Barbers do not exist.”

“How come they don’t exist?” asked the barber. “Well I am here and I am a barber.” “No!” - the client exclaimed. “They don’t exist because if they did there would be no people with long hair and beard like that man who walks in the street.”

“Ah, barbers do exist, what happens is that people do not come to us.” “Exactly!” - Affirmed the client. “That’s the point. God does exist, what happens is people don’t go to Him and do not look for Him that’s why there’s so much pain and suffering in the world.”

THE STORY OF 4 FRIENDS SEEKING SPOUSE

Written By : LILY

     I woke up in the middle of the night to offer my Tahajjud prayer. Everyone in my family is asleep except my sister on the laptop chatting with some of her friends. I asked her to come pray Tahajjud with me. She refused saying she has some work to do.

I understood and prayed my Tahajjud prayer. I could feel so much peace in my heart. Tahajjud prayer is my connection with my Lord. He is my best friend and I feel great talking

to Him no matter how cold it is. My Lord coming from the seventh sky to listen to my voice, I would not let my sleep or the cold weather stop me. I know someday I will meet my Lord and I love to meet Him soon Insha’Allah. This is my precious time and I feel relieved telling Him about everything. Tonight I asked my Allah for a pious husband. I know I am not pious myself but I am sure by marrying a man for his religious commitment, I can be very happy and please my Rabb Insha’Allah. I also made du'a for my sister and all my friends that they marry a righteous man.

After I was done with my prayer, my sister stood near my door and began staring at me constantly. I felt uneasy and asked her if she needed anything. She nodded and said, "What Du'a did you make?". I didn't say anything. I felt silent.

She kept insisting on me until I gave up! I felt very shy and asked her what kind of a spouse she would want to marry. She thought for a while and said, "I know who I want to marry! Hmm. He will be very handsome. Let's see. Blue eyes, curly hairs, tall…"

"Wait! Stop right there!" I said. "I get it now. You want to marry a good looking guy right?"

"Yeap!", my sister shook her head. I advised her to marry a man who is righteous and not for his looks. She ignored me and said, "Yeah! Yeah! Good looking guys are the best". I said, "The person with a good heart is more beautiful than a good looking man for the beauty fades when one reaches old age."

In a few years time, all of us friends got married. I preferred a pious man who has fear of Allah in his heart. The rest of my sisters married according to their preferences (money, beauty, status).

Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.s.) said: "If there comes to you one with whose religion and attitude you are satisfied, then give your daughter to him in marriage, for if you do not do so, fitnah and mischief will become widespread on earth."

A year after my marriage, I was so busy with my life; however I wished all my friends the best in life. All were happy MashaAllah.

A few months later, I received a phone call from my best friend, Farah. She cried over the phone and I didn't know what to do. I asked my husband and then drove my car to her house. She, Rafia, and Sarah were all there. They all just kept going on and about how unfaithful, arrogant, and ill-mannered their husbands were to them. I went into the kitchen and made some lemonade. I asked my sisters to first calm down. I thought for a while. I told them to be patient in this time of calamity.

Next, I reminded them about a Hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Sall Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam):


"A woman came to ask the Prophet (Sall Allahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) about some matter, and when he had dealt with it, he asked her, 'Do you have a husband?' She said, 'Yes.' He asked her, 'How are you with him?' She said, 'I never fall short in my duties, except for that which is beyond me.' He said, 'Pay attention to how you treat him, for he is your Paradise and Hell.'" (Ahmad and Nasaa'i)

I then said,

"O my dear sisters, I know you are all going through a lot right now. This is indeed a calamity upon you. Know that Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala tests only those He love. In this time of grief, turn to Him. You are never too late for anything. Allah loves you all so much. Make Repentance and seek His help. Give lots of charity and make lots of Du'as for yourselves as well as your husbands. Remember after every hardship comes ease. Do not talk about your husbands in front of others. Be thankful to them for whatever they are doing for you. If they behave in a rude manner, then remind them of Allah. Help them in their Deen and leave the rest to Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala. If you feel you need to talk, I am here for you. Now wipe your tears, smile and have hope in Allah's Mercy. May Allah Subhana wa Ta''ala make it easy on you all Ameen."


MORAL: FOR ALL THE SISTERS WHO ARE GOING AFTER LOOKS .. PLZZZ BEAUTY IS JUST SKIN DEEP !!! ... U ACTUALLY HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CHARACTER OF UR BETTER HALF ..NOT WITH HIS BEAUTY OR CHARM OR HOW UR FRIENDS RATE HIS LOOKS ...
