Treasure of happiness and success:

An old woman used to stand in front of the Masjid🕌 everyday begging for money.

One day, the Imam of the Masjid🕌 asked her, "Why are you standing here and you are from a good family and your son is a good man?"

The old woman replied, "As you know, I have only one son, and my husband died years ago. My son travelled eight months ago and left me some money💰 to spend on my needs, but by now I have spent it all and must resort to begging."

The Imam said, "Your son.. doesn't he send you money💰?"

The old woman replied, "Every month📆 he sends me a coloured picture which I kiss and stick on the wall for remembrance."

The Imam decided to visit her house 🏠. He got a big surprise when he saw 8 cheques on the wall, each for a thousand 💵 dollars, and realized the old woman didn't know what wealth she had because she was illiterate.

This may seem like a really strange story. However the old lady in the story resembles us quite a bit. We all have the Quran 📖 in our home🏠 yet we don't take the time to read it, just kissing it and leaving it on the shelf. We ask for happiness and success from people despite already having such a treasure, 📖the Book of Allah in our houses. May Allah SWT make all of us the people of the Quran📖 and make us able to read it with true understanding.

Aameen Aameen ya Rabbul Alameen....

Speaking in soft positive manner would not cost you anything but would enchant those you speak to and get rid of any ill feelings:

There was once a king who saw in a dream that all his teeth had fallen out. He called a dream-interpreter, told him what he saw in the dream, and asked him to interpret it. When the interpreter heard the dream, his complexion changed and he began to repeat, “Allāh’s refuge is sought! Allāh’s refuge is sought!” The king became worried and asked, “What is the interpretation of my dream?” The interpreter said, “After many years pass, your wife and children will die and you will be all alone in your kingdom!” The king screamed, became furious, and began to hurl abuses and insults. He then ordered that the interpreter be imprisoned and called another interpreter, related to him what he saw in the dream and asked him for its interpretation. The dream-interpreter smiled and said, “Glad tidings, dear king!” The king said, “What is the interpretation of the dream?” The interpreter said, “It means that you will live for very long – so long that you will be the last of your family to die, an...

We do not know when death is going to come to us and we meet Allah:

Story about a fisherman. There was a Fisherman who was very hardworking in his job. He used to go for fishing whenever he needed fish. The fish would stay in the house till when its over and he would go for fishing again. One day... When the wife of the fisherman was cutting the fish which her husband brought home... She saw something that was unusual. She saw a pearl in the stomach of the fish. She was surprised. A pearl... in the stomach of the fish??? Subhanallah! My husband . .my husband...come and look what I found!!! What?!!! Its a pearl. A pearl!!! ___________________ The fisherman took the pearl. He went to his neighbour who sells pearls. The neighbour stared at it and said, "No, I can't buy it. Its value cannot be estimated. But you can go to the Manager of sellers in the neighbouring village maybe he can buy it from you." So he went with his pearl to the manager and told him the story. He said, "O my brother, whatever I own cannot buy thi...

Charity wrapped in Dignity!

She asked him, "How much are you selling the eggs for?" The old seller replied to her, "Rs.5/- for one egg, Madam." She said to him, "I will take 6 eggs for Rs.25/- or I will leave." The old seller replied, "Come take them at the price you want. May Allah bless us, and maybe this is a good beginning because I have not been able sell to anyone today." She took it and walked away with a feeling that she has won. She got into her fancy car and went to pick her friend, and invited her to a posh restaurant. She and her friend sat down and ordered what they liked. They ate a little and left a lot of what they ordered. Then she went to pay the bill. The bill was Rs.1,400/-. She gave him Rs. 1,500/- and said to the owner of the restaurant: "Keep the change." This incident may seem quite normal to the owner of the restaurant. But it is very painful for the poor egg seller. The bottom line is: Why do we show that we have the power when...

Love towards my Kind Teacher (S.A.W):

Love is when Bilal (Radhiallahu 'anhu) stopped giving the adhan after the death of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) Love is Bilal leaving Madina after the Prophet’s (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) death because everything reminded him of his beloved Love is Bilal seeing the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) in a dream telling him, "what is with this dryness/distance oh Bilal?" when a long time had elapsed since he visited the Prophet's (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) grave, prompting Bilal to head to Madinah upon waking Love is Bilal arriving in Madinah in the middle of the night and Hasan and Hussain (Radhiallahu 'anhum) finding him at the maqam of the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) crying and Hasan and Hussain insisting that he give the adhan for Fajr. People came rushing to the masjid: weeping and anguished - reminded of their days with the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) Love is Bilal…when Umar ibn al Khattab (Radhiallahu 'anhu) asked h...
