Sweet thoughts of a little girl

Ibrahim Ibn Adham (may Allah SWT have mercy on him) was a third century scholar, a teacher and a companion of Sufyaan ath-Thawree. He once passed through the market of Basrah in Iraq which at the time was a great centre for Islamic knowledge and learning. The city was famous for scholarship, for great saints and people of Allah SWT. It was a place of immense abundance from Allah SWT. He passed through the market of Basrah. People gathered around him and asked: O Abû Ishâq, (father of ishaq) we have a question for you. Allah SWT says in the Quran, “Call on me, I will answer your prayers”. But we have been calling on Him for a long time and He does not answer our prayers. This was a sign of the peoples ignorance, as you’re not allowed to say such things. The Prophet SAW prohibited this. Allah SWT does things in His Own way. There is duas He will defer because He loves people to ask of Him. Ibrahim Ibn Adham replied to the people, “Its because your hearts are dead.” In order t...

A teacher from Primary school asks her students to write a essay about what they would like God to do for them. At the end of the day while marking the essays, she read one that made her very emotional. Her Husband, who had just walked in, saw her crying and asked: “What happened?” She answered: “Read this. It's one of my students essays:...”   'Oh God, tonight I ask you something very special: Make me into a television. I want to take its place. Live like the TV in my house. Have my own special place, And have my family around ME. To be taken seriously when I talk. I want to be the centre of attention and be heard without interruptions or questions. I want to receive the same special care that the TV receives when it is not working. Have the company of my Dad when he arrives home from work, even when he is tired. And I want my Mum to want me when she is sad and upset, instead of ignoring me. And I want my Brothers to fight to be with me. I want to feel ...

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers in the world and future mothers...

Love your mother even though she will eventually abandon you for death.

   A little bit long lesson !!!:)  I’ve learned- that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I’ve learned- that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back. I’ve learned- that it takes years to build up trust, and only seconds to destroy it. I’ve learned- that no matter how good a friend is, they’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I’ve learned- that it’s not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts. I’ve learned- that you should never ruin an apology with an excuse. I’ve learned- that you can get by on charm for about fifteen minutes. After that, you’d better know something. I’ve learned- that you shouldn’t compare yourself to the best others can do. I’ve learned- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I’ve learned- that it’s taking me a long time to become the person I want ...

A scholar of Islamic jurisprudence, Bakr Al-Muzani, saw a labourer carrying goods with him while constantly uttering, “Alhamdulillah” (All praise is for Allah SWT) and “Astaghfirullah” (I seek forgiveness from Allah SWT). The scholar said that he waited for the laborer to rest from his load before he spoke to him. Then Al-Muzani asked him, “Do you not know anything other than this (Alhamdulillah and Astagfirullah)?” The labourer responded, “Indeed I know much else and I do read the Book of Allah SWT, except that a slave of Allah is constantly shifting between a state of blessing (from Allah SWT) and sin. This being the condition of man I praise and thank Allah SWT for the blessings He has given me and seek his forgiveness for my sins.” The scholar said, “Certainly this labourer has a deeper understanding of the religion than Bakr (himself).”

Have u ever realized, that u missed so much in life. Do u live just to live, just to be called alive..?? Have u ever forgotton and let a great friendship die, just coz u dint had time and u forgot to say hi.. Do u realize, u are heading so fast. This one life u have forever wont last.. Ever felt the drops, the rain slapping the ground Ever bothered to touch and gather the moments around..?? Ever noticed the feel on that innocent face, all they want is a part of ur time but u are hurried to win the race. You often dance on the muzic, the one playing somewhere behind, Have u ever heard the voice, calling u from ur inner side. Slow down a bit, and shower ur love to all. Dont run so fast, This one life u have forever it wont last….

I shall look at the grass Till I obtain the degree of Doctor of grass I shall look at the clouds Till I become a Master Of clouds I shall walk beside the smoke Till out of same The smoke returns to the flame Of its beginning I shall walk beside all things Till all things Come to know me !

Why do we read Quran, if we can’t understand a single Arabic word? This is a beautiful story: An old American Muslim lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading his Quran. His grandson wanted to be just like him and tried to imitate him in every way he could. One day the grandson asked, “Grandpa! I try to read the Quran just like you but I don’t understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book. What good does reading the Qur’an do?” The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and replied, “Take this coal basket down to the river and bring me back a basket of water.” The boy did as he was told, but all the water leaked out before he got back to the house. The grandfather laughed and said, “You’ll have to move a little faster next time,” and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again. This time the boy ran faster, bu...

When he turned, he would turn his whole body. Meaning that he did not steal any glances. It is said that it means that he did not turn his head left or right when looking at something because this is the mannerism of those frivolous and thoughtless, having no sense of purpose; instead he would turn his whole body to one who addressed him, showing his complete concern to what he was saying and would turn his whole body away upon finishing. Therefore when he was talking to someone or other such things, he would turn his entire body to him and not just turn his head as this is the manner of the arrogant.
