The story of 3 friends…

Posted in Stories on July 20, 2007 by Muslimah

Not long ago, three friends came to the New York city. They decided to stay in a hotel during the visit.

It so happened that their room ended up being on the 60th floor.

The policy of the hotel was that everynight after 12:00 a.m. the elevators are shut down for securityreasons.The next day, the three friends rented a car and went out to explore the city. They enjoyed movies, concerts, and other things throughout the whole day. At one point, they remembered that they have to get back to the hotel before 12 a.m.

When they arrived, it was beyond 12 a.m. at night. The elevators were shut down. There was no other way to get back to their room but to take the stairs all the way to the 60th floor. All of a sudden, one friend got an idea.

He said “For the first 20 floors, I will tell jokes to keep us going. Then another one of us could say wisdom stories for the next 20 floors. Finally, we will cover the other 20 floors with sad stories.”

So, one of the friends started with the jokes. With laughs and joy,they reached the 20th floor. Now, another friend started saying stories that are full of wisdom. So, they learned a lot while reaching the 40th floor. Now, it was time for the sad stories.

So, the third friend started thus, “My first sad story is that I left the key for the room in the car.”Now, what is the point of this story?

This story resembles our lifecycle. For the first 20 years of our life, we spend time in joking and enjoying whatever is out there. Then, after we reach 20, we go into the work force, get marriead, have kids and this is the time when we use our wisdom. Then, if we reach 40, we finally see the white hairs and begin to think that my life is coming to an end and the sadness begins.

It’s better that we start our life in the very beginning by remembering death rather than preparing for it at the end our life when very few of us have the energy to obey Allah completely. We should also remember that there is no guarantee of a life of 60 years for any of us, many have already left this world way before that age.

May Allah give us the ability to make use of our life before death and our youth before old age, Ameen.
Wasalam

Missed calls from Allah!!!!

Posted in *My Thoughts* on July 8, 2007 by Muslimah
 Among the marvels of modern technology is also the ability to track the missed calls which were made by our friends and family and the likes. We do not get a good night’s sleep, unless we have returned all the calls of those who matter. We don’t let any call go unanswered as long
as we know that it matters. Don’t we??!?!?!?!
But how about the calls of “hay-yaa al-as-salaah and hay-yaa al-al falah” made from the neighbourhood house of our Master, the Almighty Allah? Those calls are made five times a day and many  times they all go unanswered.
We do not respond neither do we respect these missed calls. Do they matter?
Everybody can tell, if these really matter. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but surely in the hereafter. Let us look at ourselves. Can we afford to let these calls of the muezzin be missed, day after day, after day.
The call from our Cherisher, Sustainer and the ultimate Master. Just think about it. Next time one hears this call, just ask yourself how good a night’s sleep can I have by missing those calls from the house of Allah.
Think about it….the answer may come from the inner heart.

 

May Allah forgive all Muslim people, Ameen!

Every year, my father and I gets stopped by customs in the airport and get harassed. The police check us by searching our pockets, remove our shoes, and takes off our belts. Why is this necessary? If we didnt beep in the machine, then we should be left alone. This year, we made many dua’a so we might avoid problems, atleast minimize them. Subhan Allah, thank God, we didnt face any problems at all. The only minor problem we faced is that I didnt throw my halal sandwhich when they said no food.

May Allah protect me in my journey and face small challenges.

* Its Beautiful *

Posted in Stories on July 6, 2007 by Muslimah

Asalam ALykom..

This is a great story mashallah..

 Once there were these two men that lived in a nursery home. The first person that registered got a place by the window. The man that sat near the window would gaze at it for hours. The other man would watch him and wonder what he was gazing at.
so one day he asks the man, “can you please tell me what you see my friend, as i am paralyzed and cannot see from where i am sitting” the man smiled and said, “My friend i see the most beautiful things…i see flowers growing, the sun shining, children playing, everything is so beautiful.” the paralyzed man soon started to get jealous and couldnt wait until this man left so he could take his place by the window.

Every day he would ask this man what he saw and everyday it was the same reply “its beautiful.” The paralyzed man would get start to feel anticipated and wish this old man would leave so he could see the same beautiful things.

A day comes along and the paralyzed man realizes his friend is not there anymore. So he asks the nurse, “Where is the man that sits here by the window.” she tells him that he had just passed away. The paralyzed man gains a spark in his face, so he asks the nurse “May i have the place near the window since he is not there anymore?” she says ofcoarse. So she places him near the window. He takes a look outside and says “WHAT!?” the nurse looks at him and asks ” is there something wrong?” the paralyzed man replies, “why is there a brick wall here, where are all the beautiful things the man described to me?” the nurse looks at him in confusion and says “The man that used to sit here was blind.” The paralyzed man began to feel shameful for his friend was describing the beauty of the world to make him feel happy since he was unable to see out of the window himself, yet he proved to show that the blindest of all men was him.

 Subhan Allah

Dua’a for seeking forgiveness

Posted in Dua'a on July 5, 2007 by Muslim

forgive.jpg

In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.

O Allah! I ask You as all the praise belongs to You. There is no lord other than You, You are the one to bestow favours. You are the possessor of Honour and Majesty for the Heavens and the Earth. I am poor and indigent repent and seek forgiveness. O Allah send blessings on Mohammad and his progeny and forgive all my sins whether they are old or new. All those sins which I have performed. O Allah don’t make my problems, difficult for me and don’t give my enemies an opportunity to mock at me because there is no one other than You to ward off the difficulties and ease the hardships.

In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful.

O Allah forgive my sins of which You are aware and if I repeat it then forgive me again. O Allah! I couldn’t get an opportunity to fulfill the covenants done against my evil deeds, forgive these sins too. O Allah forgive the sins done by the action of eyes, mistake of the lips, negligence of the heart and by the movement of the tongue.

Prophet Noah (SW)

Posted in Life of the Prophets on July 5, 2007 by Muslim

Allah sent Nuh as His apostle for the reclamation of the depraved humanity dwelling in that part of the earth which is called ‘Iraq in the present era. Those people believed in Allah but they associated other gods with Allah, the Supreme. The priests of these deities exercised great control over all affairs. The people offered sacrifices in the name of their deities to please them. They spent the money lavishly and thus their condition became miserable.

The Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) like other prophets was sincere, pious, patient and trustworthy. He was strong in his will and determination. Angel Gabriel (Jibra’il) conveyed him the teachings from Allah. He was commanded to reform the people who had been led astray by the Satan. He kept on preaching the faith of Allah and directed the people to pray to One God. He advised them to refrain from doing evil deeds. The Holy Quran affirms his endeavors to reform his people in the following Verses:

“He (Nuh) said: O’ my people! serve Allah. There is no god other than Him. If you refuse, verily I fear for you chastisement of a grievous day. The Chiefs of his people said: Most certainly we perceive you in clear error. He said: O’ my people! There is no error in me but I am an Apostle from the lord of the worlds. I deliver to you the message of my Lord and I counsel you right (Surah 7: Verses 59,60)

Again in the following Verses the Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) warned his people by declaring:

“O’ my people! Surely I am a plain Warner to you bidding you to serve Allah and be mindful of your duty to Him, and obey me so that He may forgive your faults.” (Surah 71: Verses 2-4)

A hole in the fence!!

Posted in Stories on July 2, 2007 by Muslimah

 

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His Father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence.The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually dwindled down.

He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence….

Finally the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The day passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.

The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, “You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence.

The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won’t matter how many times you say I’m sorry, the wound is still there.”

MAY ALLAH FORGIVE YOU…!

The Last Person to Enter Paradise

Posted in Qura'an & Hadeeth on July 2, 2007 by Muslim

According to a report narrated by Muslim, he (‘Abdullah) said: “The Messenger of Allah SWAS said:

‘I know the last person who will come out of the fire. It is a man who will come out crawling. It will be said to him: ‘Go and enter Paradise.’ He will go and enter Paradise, but he will find that people have already taken their places. It will be said to him, ‘Do you remember the time that you were in Hell? He will say yes. He will be told, ‘Make a wish,’ so he will make a wish, then he will be told, ‘Your wish is granted, and ten times the world.’ He will say, ‘Are you making fun of me and you are the Sovereign of All?’ I saw the Messenger of Allah SWAS smiling so broadly that his back teeth were visible.”
