HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
(SALLALLAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) saying, "He who is afraid of the pillage of the enemy, sets out in the early part of the night; and he who sets out early, reaches his destination. Be on your guard that the commodity of Allah is precious. Verily the commodity of Allah is Jannah". [At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary: Imam At-Taibi has stated that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) mentioned this example for travellers to the Hereafter, because Satan is sitting on this passage and man's self and his false desires are his helpers. If a person is wide-awake in his travel and exercises caution in his activities, he is not only saved from the vices of Satan, but his own false desires also do not stand in his way. The Prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi wa Sallam) also pointed out that the way to the Hereafter is very hard and littered with great impediments and obstructions and it is by no means easy to traverse it. Jannah is an invaluable gift and unless man gives the sacrifice of his life and wealth, he will not become eligible for entering it. "Allah has purchased the lives and properties of Muslims for Jannah". (Tuhfatul Ahwadhi).

This Hadith encourages us to observe obedience of our Rubb and to spare no effort to desist from all acts of disobedience in order to achieve the lofty goal of entering Jannah, by Allah's Leave.

POEM
THIS STRANGE FEELING
by Fatima Jaffer
---------------
It's strange this feeling thats come over me,
It ebbs and flows like the tide.
Some times it seems so far away,
And at others it's deep inside.

I feel no need for food or sleep,
And dream the hours away.
My friends and family notice it,
“What's wrong with you?" they say.

Each dawn, the sun - a sleepy ball,
Stretches golden across the skies.
And I watch the horizon birth a new day,
Greeting it with eager eyes. read more

 
THE SMILE

LOGIC
-------

Two guys living in Oklahoma were sitting on a bench talking, and one says to the other, "Which do you think is farther away... Florida or the moon?"

The other guy turns and says "Hellooooooo, can you see Florida???"
