THE STORY

THE HUMAN BEING - Best of Creation
-----------------------------------
Isa Ibn Moosa Haashimi was a close friend of the Khaliph Abu Jafar al-Mansoor. One moonlit night he was sitting with his wife, who he loved very dearly. Lovingly, he said to her: "You are divorced three times, if you are not more beautiful than the moon!"

She immediately got up and separated herself from him by drawing her Hijaab, saying: "You have divorced me!"

It was a statement that he had made lightly, but divorce is a serious matter. Even if the divorce is uttered jokingly it is valid.

Isa Ibn Moosa spent the remainder of the night in worry and anxiety. The next morning he went to the court of Jafar al-Mansoor and narrated to him what had happened the night before, displaying his deep distress. Khaliph Mansoor gathered the religious scholars of the area and asked for their verdict on the matter. Every single one of those present said that his wife was divorced from him because no person could possibly excel the moon in beauty. However, there was one who remained silent. He was from amongst the students of Imam Abu Hanifa Rahimahullah.

Khaliph Mansoor asked him: "Why have you not spoken?"
He replied: "Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. By the Fig and the Olive. And by the Mount of Sinai, and this city of security. We have indeed created man in the best of forms." (Surah Teen)

He continued: "O Khaliph, man is the best of of all things. Nothing is better than the human being." All the scholars were amazed at the answer and were rendered speechless. Thus, the Khaliph said to Isa Ibn Moosa: "The matter is as this man has explained. You may return to your wife."

The Khaliph also sent a message to his wife saying: "He is your husband, as he has not divorced you."

Lesson: The human being is the best and most beautiful of all of Allah's creation.

 
SUNNAH (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD SAW)

When returning after many days from a lengthy journey, and one arrives home when a great portion of the night has passed, then he should not immediately enter his home. Rather it is better to go the next morning. (Mishkaat, pg.339)

If the family is aware of your late arrival and is expecting you, then there is no harm in going home immediately. (Mirkaat: Vol.7,pg.338 )

A THOUGHT

THE ATMOSPHERE
------------------

Do you know that every day many meteors fall on earth? When meteors fall on other planets, they create giant craters, but when they fall on earth, they don’t cause much harm.

So how do meteors cause great damage to the surfaces of other planets but not to the surface of earth?

The reason for this is the atmosphere that surrounds earth. The atmosphere encircles our planet as a protective shield. A meteor entering the atmosphere shrinks through combustion. When it comes closer to the surface of earth, it becomes even smaller. Therefore, the meteor becomes very small or even diminishes and disappears completely by the time it reaches the surface of the earth, and causes us no harm.

The atmosphere doesn’t only prevent the harm of meteors but it also absorbs harmful rays that come from the Sun. Yet again, if these harmful rays were able to reach earth’s surface, it would have been impossible for living things to survive.

The two characteristics we have mentioned here are more than enough to show us that the atmosphere is not some haphazard thing. Allah—Who has endless mercy upon all living things on earth and Who at the same time has eternal power—has created the atmosphere, and with this atmosphere, He protects us from danger.

THE SMILE

WE DELIVER
------------

The owner of a small deli was being questioned by an IRS agent about his tax return. He had reported a net profit of $80,000 for the year.

"Why don't you people leave me alone?" the deli owner said. "I work like a dog, everyone in my family helps out, the place is only closed three days a year...and you want to know how I made $80,000?"

"It's not your income that bothers us," the agent said. "It's these deductions. You listed six trips to Bermuda for you and your wife."

"Oh, that," the owner said smiling. "Didn't I mention? We deliver anywhere..."
