SURAH Al- Jinn 72: (The Jinns)

This Surah is Makki. It has 28 verses and 2 sections.
With the name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Very- Merciful.

"They thought as you think that Allah Ta'aala shall not resurrect anyone"[7] "We have sought to reach the skies but found it filled with stern guards and flaming fires, "[8] "Indeed we used to take up positions there to sit and eavesdrop. Now whoever eavesdrops will find a flaming fire waiting for him"[9]

COMMENTARY: The previous verse speaks about how a group of Jinn developed pride and refused to submit to Allah due to the fact that some ignorant humans used to seek protection in them.

Todays verses describes the thinking of this particular group of Jinn. It also makes mention of the fact that the Jinns cannot eavesdrop when the orders of Allah Ta'aala are given out. Previously they had the opportunity to eavesdrop on the conversation of angels to learn about future events, however once revelation started coming down to Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam they were prevented from doing such acts. Stern angels acting as security guards were instructed to keep watch and throw flaming fires at those that will eavesdrop.

POEM
 

THAT SPECIAL PAIR

As far back as when I couldn't speak
Ever so often my eyes would leak
While other babies, by their mothers, comfort they would seek
I perceived from then my future looks bleak

Thrown into a hostel when I just learned to run
We all played together and enjoyed under the sun
But there lies such a mystery, no guardian to answer would ever dare
That spell-binding question: Where is "That special pair"?

"My mum bought it for me"
"When I grow up my dad is who I wanna be"
As the utterances of my friends would come out crystal clear
My heart would stiffen and the eye would shed a tear

Playing in the park with the other boys
Like candy to the ears comes that heart warming noise
It's the call of mothers for their loved ones to come home
Wondering if I'll ever hear mine, I sit there crying all alone

In the intense heat down by the stream
A little boy moves around licking his ice-cream
Looking up at his dad, smiling brighter than a beam
Jealous as ever I know I can only dream

The tears in his eyes are painful to their sight
They would offer him comfort sacrificing their right
They would move his heart from darkness into light
My shoulder to cry on is but a pillow at night

My little brains boil and my knees go numb
When I look at the frown of an ill-treated mum
Amidst an avalanche of happiness my day turns sad
When I witness the anger of a disrespected dad

On their comfortable beds in their homes as they lay
If I can only reach out to them and earnestly say
Their true value you'll understand only on that day
When lightning fast they are snatched away

I wonder how it feels for someone to wipe off your tear
I wonder how it feels to experience comfort when in fear
I wonder how it feels to be told "I am near"
I wonder how it feels to be addressed with the word "dear"

Imagine the feeling of being loved like the other
Imagine the feeling of being hugged by a mother
They all want yo-yos, toys and figurines but rather
I wish to be smiled at by a loving affectionate father

Living this kind of life is a long way from nice
I suppose that's why a guardian has been promised paradise
Someday to a childs happiness I wanna be the key
Because I don't wish this life for my worst enemy

What keeps me going is that I'll meet "That special pair" one day
Because on the orphanage pavement I wrote what I wanna say
I violently scribbled it with a broken toy
"Plees taik me bak, I b a gud boy"

NEWS
 

* Oudtshoorn, a quiet town in Western Province is on the brink of a religious war after locals called the Muslim call to prayer a "nuisance" that will bring down their property value.

* In an obvious reference to the illegal march on the Union Buildings 16 months ago by disgruntled card-carrying soldiers, president Jacob Zuma said those who could not obey commands, be loyal, disciplined, reliable and responsible should not be in the SA National Defence Force.

* The Protea Magistrates' Court heard that murder and reckless driving accused Molemo "Jub-Jub" Maarohanye and his co-accused Themba Tshabalala had to be forcibly removed from an ambulance by angry community members so that the injured could be taken to hospital. Four children were killed in the crash while two others sustained serious injuries. A witness said Jub-Jub had said at the scene that :"he was not afraid of anyone".

* WikiLeaks faces a "very aggressive" and secretive investigation by US authorities stung by a perceived loss of face following the release of thousands of secret American diplomatic cables, the organisation's founder, Julian Assange, said today.

* North Korea warned that it would attack South Korea more violently than it did last month if the Seoul proceeds with plans to test-fire artillery from the island Pyongyang shelled.

HEALTH TIP
 
A study has found that a diet including avocados can help get cholesterol levels into the healthy range. In the study after 7 days LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglyceride levels dropped by 22 percent and HDL ("good") cholesterol shot up 11 percent. Avocados are a good source of vitamin K, dietary fiber, potassium, and folate. Avocados are very low in sodium and cholesterol-free but they do contain fat so eat in moderation.

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen deur S'aad Bekker:

"Ons voel mos nie almal altyd dieselfde nie, is dit nie? Partymaal voel jy goed en ek dalk bietjie af, soos Allah wil. Kliek hier vir die nuutste Dagstukkie om jou aan te moedig. Ons het ook al die Dagstukkies wat ons nou al uitgestuur het saam op een bladsy gesit, juis vir jou gerief. As ek dus 'n Dagstukkie uitstuur en jy voel dis nou nie vandag vir jou bedoel nie, dan kan jy sommer maklik vir jouself al die Dagstukkie-opskrifte gaan deurkyk totdat jy een vind wat jou hart aanraak. Of as iets gebeur wat jou so bietjie van balans af gooi: besoek die Dagstukkies! Jy weet nooit, dalk wil Allah jou juis deur 'n besondere Dagstukkie bemoedig.

E-pos ons by sjbekker@vodamail.co.za as jy die Dagstukkies op jou rekenaar wil ontvang..."

 
THE SMILE
 
Deep within a forest, a little turtle began to climb a tree. After hours of effort, he reached the top, jumped into the air waving his front legs and crashed to the ground. After recovering, he slowly climbed the tree again, jumped, and fell to the ground. The turtle tried again and again, while a couple of birds sitting on a branch watched his sad efforts. Finally, the female bird turned to her mate. "Dear," she chirped, "I think it's time to tell him he's adopted."
