THE REWARD OF TRUTH ..

A pious man who constantly looked for knowledge and used to give all his time .One day he left home due to his extreme hunger since he had found nothing to eat at home and so he ended up heading towards one of the gardens on the roadside.This garden was full of apple trees and one of which had a few of its branches hanging outside the fence on the roadside.

His inner self started whispering to him to eat an apple to remove his hunger and that no one would see him.Afterall the apple garden wouldn't be affected by the absence of only one apple.He plucked an apple and sat down to eat it until his hunger disappeared.

But when he went back home,his consciousness(al nafs) started aching him and he started to ask himself how he could do such a thing (this is always the case of a momen,a believer i.e he always judges and punishes his soul for the wrongdoings he does).Sitting down,he started asking himself how he could eat an apple which is of another Muslim's wealth and possession and yet he never asked his permission before plucking it.

Neither had he asked the owner for his forgiveness.Getting up the next morning,he headed outdoor in search of this garden's owner until he found him.This young man then told him(the owner):
"Uncle,yesterday extreme hunger got great hold of me and I ate an apple from your garden without you knowing and today I have come to ask for your permission for having taken it."
The owner replied:
"By Allah I will not forgive you In fact I am angry from you until the Day of Judgement where i will complain to Allah about you."
A pious man then started crying and pleading to him to forgive him and that he was ready to do anything for him on condition that he forgives him and makes him clean of sins again through this forgiveness.

"Uncle,I am ready to work as a graden worker in this garden of yours without a salary the whole of my life or any other thing you wish me to carry out for you on condition that you forgive me."
At this moment, the garden owner stopped to think for a while and then said:
"Son,I am ready to forgive you now but on one condition...."
A pious man got soo happy and his face once again got filled with joy and he replied :
" Give me any condition you wish ,uncle."
The owner:
"My only condition is that you marry my daughter!!!"

A pious man was shocked from this condition,got stunned and couldn't understand this condition.
The owner continued:
"But son... you must know that my daughter is blind,deaf and can not talk.She doesn't walk either and is always sitted.For a long time now, I have been searching for a husband for her whom i can trust to take care of her and accept her as she is with all her features which I mentioned to you.I will forgive you only if you accept to marry her."

A pious man was once again shocked with this second disaster.He then started thinking how he would be able to live with such a burden especially that he was still young and on his first steps in his career life.How could she take care of him and look after his house when she had such defects?
He then started telling himself:
" Have patience regarding her and at least get saved from the Hereafter's punishment which this apple would cause you."
He then looked towards the owner and said:
"Uncle, I have accepted your daughter and I ask Allah to reward me well for my intention and that He rewards me with something better than what He inflicted me with."
The owner replies:
"Well then son....your date is next Thursday at my place for the Walimah(celebration)of your marriage and I will be resposible(take care) of her Mahr(dowry)."
When Thursday came ,A pious man came walking with heavy steps,full of sorrow,with a broken heart unlike any other groom on his wedding day.When he knocked on the door, her dad opened the door and let him in.After they had sat and talked a bit,the bride's dad told A pious man:

"Please feel free to enter the room where your bride is sitted..and may Allah place His baraka(blessings) on you both and around you both.May He bring onto both of you all goodness and mercy .."
He then took him by his hand and led him to the room where his daughter sat waiting .When he opened the door and looked inside,the lad found seated a girl whose face was whiter than the moon and whose hair hang loosely on her shoulders like silk.She then got up and walked towards him with her shoulders stretched outwards and told him:

"Assalamu Alaikum my husband."
Standing in his place,A pious man staring at her as if he was in front of a hooreya(i.e one of the beautiful ladies of Paradise who have never lived on Earth before)from the hooreyats of Jannah who had instead come to earth.

He couldn't believe his eyes and just didn't know what had happened or why her dad had said such bad things about her.She at once understood what was going through his mind and at once went nearer to him,held his hand and kissed it saying:

"I am blind from looking towards forbidden(haram) things and I am deaf from listening to forbidden talk and I am unable to talk about forbidden things.
My feet too do not walk towards haram things....

I am the only child of my dad and for a couple of years now ,my dad has been searching for a good pious husband for me.So when you came to him asking his permission for an apple and weeping for its sake,he told me:

'Whoever fears from eating an apple for which he hasn't asked permission for acquiring it,then he will sure look after my daughter and fear Allah in treating her badly'......so congratulations to me for having you as a husband and congratulations to my dad for having you as his son-in-law."

A MOTHER...

For those who are lucky to still be blessed with the presence of a mother, this is beautiful,

For those who are not, this is even more beautiful.

 

A young woman set her foot on the path of life and asked? Is this is a long way?

Her guide answer: Yes and they is hard. You will be old before you reach the end of it

But the end is better than the beginning

The young mother was happy; and would not believe that anything could be better these year.

She played with her children, and gathered flowers with them along the way

She bathed them in the clear streams, will the sun shone with them And the young mother thought to herself that nothing could ever be lovelier than this.

Then the night came, and the storm, and path became dark…

The children shook with fears and colds, and the mother drew them close and covered them with her mantle.  The children said to her…

Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, no harm can come.

Then the morning came and there was a hill ahead, which the children climb and grow weary,

The mother was also weary, but at all times she said to the children, Just a little patient and we are there.  When they reach the top, the children say,

Mother, we could not have done it without you..

And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and said,

This is the better day than the last, for my children have learned fortitude in face of hardness.

Yesterday I gave them courage, and today I have given them strength

Next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth, clouds of war, and hate, and evil.

And when the children groped and stumbled.

The mother said, Look u, lift your eyes to light.

When the children looked they saw above the clouds an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the darkness.

That night the mother said, this was the best day of all. For I have shown my children Allah.

The days went on, and the weeks and the months and the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent but her children were tall and strong, and walked with courage

When the way was rough, they lifted her, for she was a light as a father and at last they came to a hill,

And beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide.

 

The mother said:  I have reached the end of my journey and now I know the end is better than the beginning, for my children can walk alone, and so for their children after them. And the children said,

You will always walk with us mother, even when you have gone through the gates.

They stood and watched their mother as she went on alone, and the gates close after her.

The children said: We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A mother like us is more than a memory.

She is a living presence.’

Your mother too is also with you.

She is the whispered of the leaves as you walked down in the street.

She is the scent of bleach in your freshly laundry clothes.

She is the cool down of your brow, when you are not well.

Your mother lives inside your laughter

And she is crystallized in every one of your tear drops

She is the place you came from, your first home and she is the map you fallow with every step you take.

She is your MOTHER…

Narrated by:Abu Hurayrah (RA)

A man came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said, ‘O Messenger (PBUH) of God! Who among the people is the most worthy of my good companionship? The Prophet (PBUH) said: Your mother. The man said, ‘Then who?' The Prophet (PBUH) said: Then your mother. The man further asked, ‘Then who?' The Prophet(PBUH) said: Then your mother. The man asked again, ‘Then who?' The Prophet (PBUH) said: Then your father. (Bukhari, Muslim).

A Mujahids Love To His Wife

Muslima A True Story....

My Deen or My Family....

    After I accept Islam many trials came to my life ....most of my family member got sick and hospitalize my husband feel upset and blame everything to me. Relationship with him become hard because of different belief and  I always told him He never Allah gave trials to test our faith on Him and everything happen to our life have a reason..And I believed on Him...

"Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives, and the fruits of your toil. But give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. Those who say, when afflicted with calamity, 'To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return.' They are those on whom descend blessings from their Lord, and mercy. They are the ones who receive guidance." The Holy Quran (2:155-157)

   Still he never accept me being a Muslim for him Islam change me a lot the way I talk, the way I think, and most of all the way I dress he loves me seeing wearing shorts and tight shirt and jeans when I revert I change long shirt and long sleeve as my dress. But he appreciate the way I care for my family....but still he think I'm still like that before even I'm not Muslim..Many days come many tears drops many arguments, misunderstanding happen about religion and differences, kids suffer a lot because of this every time he want to me leave because of Islam...I always pray and make Dua to Him and leave everything to Allah I believed one day Allah will touch his heart the way He did to me show the light and walk in right path with me and with my family.

"And be steadfast in patience, for verily Allah will not suffer the reward of the righteous to perish."  The Holy Quran (11:115)

   Every day I feel pain It's hard to be only Muslim here ...Alhamdulillah Allah sent many brothers and sisters who help me to earn knowlegde and teach  me to be strong that every trials happen to our life this things make us stronger and more closer to Allah..Tears is become daily routine in my life but I smiled and happy because Allah loves me and He always there to guide me and help me. Alhamdulillah even days become hard because of trials it's make easy to me because He make me stronger everyday.

"Verily man is in loss, except such as have faith, and do righteous deeds, and join together in the mutual enjoining of truth, and of patience and constancy." The Holy Quran.. (103:2-3)

My family want to me choose between them and my Religion...Alhamdulillah I found my purpose of my life why I created  why I'm here you can take everything to me but not my Religion...I love Allah...I love Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) I love my Deen and I'm Proud I'm a MUSLIM....

Continuation....

Paradise is surrounded with hardships where as Hell is encompassed with lusts.....

Narrated Abu  Huraira (RA) , that Allah’s Messenger (PBUH) said:

When Allah created Paradise, He ordered Jibrae: “Go and see it.”

So he went and saw it. Then he returned and said: “O Lord, By Your glory! who hears of it would love entering it”.

Then He encompassed it with unpleasant things (hardships of worship) and said:” O Jibrael! Go (again) and see it.”

So he went away to look at it. Then he came back and said: “0 Lord, By Your glory! I fear that no one will enter it.”

The Prophet (PBUH) said: When Allah created Hell, He said: “O Jibrael, go and see it.”

So he went and saw it.

Then he turned up and said: “0 Lord, By Your glory! No one who hears of it will enter it.”

So he encompassed it with lusts (worldy desires) and said:

“O Jibrael! Go back and see it. He went again to see it and came back saying: “0 Lord, By Your glory! I fear that no one will escape from entering it.”

(This Haditn is fair and reported by Abu Da’ud, Tinnidhi (RA), Nasa’i, Ahmad in Musnad (RA) and Al-Hakim in Mustadrak (RA)

Allah has promised to give Paradise in reward to those who do good deeds for His sake. But man is misguided by the Satan and worldly lusts which cause him to do bad deeds that lead to Hell. He who undergoes hardships in the cause of Allah; these hardships will lead him to the enternal abode of pleasures.

SAHIH MUSLIM....

Salim(RA) reported on the authority of his father

that Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:

A Muslim is the brother of a fellow-Muslim.

He should neither commit oppression upon him

nor ruin him,

and he who meets the need of a brother,

Allah would meet big needs,

and he who relieved a Muslim from hardship

Allah would relieve him from the hardships

to which he would be put on the Day of Resurrection,

and he who did not expose (the follies of a Muslim) Allah would conceal his follies

on the Day of Resurrection.

Sahih Muslim (Book #032, Hadith#6250)

One Eye Mother A True Story....

My mum only had one eye, i hated her, she was such an embarrassment!
She cooked for teachers and students to support the family
There was one day during primary school where she came to say hello to me
I was so embarrassed, how could she do this to me!
I ignored her, threw a hateful look and ran out
The next day one of my class mates said "Eeww, your mum only has one eye!"
I wanted to bury myself, i also wanted my mum to disappear
So i confronted her and said, "If you're only going to make me a laughing stock, why don't you just die!"
My mum did not respond
I didn't even stop to think for a second about what i had said, because i was full of anger!
I was oblivious to her feelings, i wanted out of that house
So i studied really hard and got a chance to go to Singapore
Then i got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own and i was happy with my life
Then one day my mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and she didn't even meet her grandchildren!
When she stood by the door my children scared at her
I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children! Get out fo here now!
And to this my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm sorry i may have gotten the wrong address."
One day a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house
So i lied to my wife that i was going on a business trip
After the reunion i went to the old shack just out of curiosity
My neighbours said that she died
I did not shed a single tear
They handed me a letter she wanted me to have

To the smile of my life

My dearest son i think of you all of the time

I'm sorry that i came to Singapore and scared your children

I was so glad when i heard you were coming for the reunion

But i may not be able to even get out of bed to see you

I'm sorry i was a constant embarrassment to you when you were growing up

You see... when you were little, you got into an accident and lost your eye

As a mother i could not stand watching you having to grow up with one eye

So i gave you mine

Seeing a whole new world for me in my place with that eye

With my love to you

Your Mother
