The Sultan of Arabia had grown very fond of Mulla Nasruddin and often took him along on his travels. Once, while on a journey, the Royal caravan approached a small nondescript town in the desert. On a whim the Sultan said to the Mulla, “I wonder if people would know me in this small place. Let us stop my entourage here and enter the town on foot, and then we’ll know if they can recognize me”. Accordingly, they dismounted and walked down the main road of the town. The Sultan was surprised to see that many people smiled at Nasruddin but ignored him completely. Irritated and a trifle angry, he said, “I see that the people here know you but they don’t know me!” “They don’t know me either Your Excellency”, replied the Mulla. “Then why did they smile at you only?” questioned the Sultan. “Because I smiled at them.” said Nasruddin, smiling. Reflection Courtesy and respect are mutually reinforcing If some doesn’t greet we should greet them. You are not going to loose any thing Prophet Muhammed

As Salamu Alaikum Read this intresting. Here are some very crucial lessons to learn from Noah's Ark... ONE: Don't miss the boat. TWO: Remember that we are all in the same boat. THREE: Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. FOUR: Stay fit. When you're 60 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu Superstition constituted an integral part of the belief system of the Pagans. Prior to the advent of Islam the Arabs were steeped in superstitious beliefs, beliefs that regulated their social, economic and political activity. Superstition created a mysterious value system that gave rise to fear, suspicion and enmity. It deprived man of rational thinking and every ailment, accident or calamity was attributed to some evil force bent on destroying their lives. The situation was further aggravated by wicked "Spiritual Doctors" who exploited the unwary masses and ran lucrative businesses treating and exorcizing the "evil forces". Even today there are people who claim to know the future and try to impress people with their "divine powers". Belief in superstition detracts from Imaan in Taqdeer and the qudrat of Allâh Taala. The Holy Quraan states: &

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu by Asma bint Shameem Last week, it was extremely cold.... cold beyond imagination. It was so cold, they said these were temperatures we havent seen in more than a decade. Pipes froze and burst, many people lost electricity and many even died. There was ice everywhere.. .ice on the cars, ice on the trees, ice on the on the grass. When the arctic wind blew, it cut through to the bone. It hit across the face and numbed whatever it touched. And as I felt the chilling effects of these below-freezing temperatures, I thought of Jahannum. Yes, Jahannum. Now, why would I remember Jahannum, one might ask, in this Siberian weather? Isnt Jahannum fiery, burning and hot? Yes. But, although Jahannum is a place known for its unimaginable heat, scorching blazes and sweltering fires, there are also places within it that are extremely cold, frigid and chilling. So frigid are th

Am sure, insha Allah, you shall find it very helpful 18 Tips to Simplify Our Spending The simplicity movement has swept across America. People are sick of the rat race-the fast-paced, stressful culture that has developed. They want to kick back, relax and live simpler, much less complicated lives. Part of this means reducing the material objects that have cluttered our lives. Generally, it means living with less and being happy. Sadly, Muslims are not immune from the rush for the material trappings of modern society. Muslims in some communities literally compete to see who has the bigger house, the nicest cars and clothes or the most expensive education. But a Muslim was never supposed to live this way. He or she should be the representative of the "less is more" concept when it comes to material things. Some Muslims are, while others may be struggling to be. Other

As Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah, Every Friday afternoon, after the Jumma prayers, the Imam and his eleven year old son would go out into their town and hand out "PATH TO PARADISE" and other Islamic literature. This particular and fortunate Friday afternoon, as the time came for the Imam and his son to go to the streets with their booklets, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring rain.
