THE STORY
 

THE BUTTERFLY
----------------

One day, a small opening appeared in a cocoon; a man sat and watched for the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then, it seemed to stop making any progress.

It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could not go any further. So the man decided to help the butterfly: he took a pair of scissors and opened the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a withered body, it was tiny and shriveled wings.

The man continued to watch because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would open, enlarge and expand, to be able to support the butterfly’s body, and become firm. Neither happened!

In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a withered body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.

What the man, in his kindness and his goodwill did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening, was Allah’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings, so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If Allah allowed us to go through our life without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as we could have been. Never been able to fly.

Dagstukkies deur S'aad Bekker
 

"In hierdie vers van die Koran beskryf Allah die wonderlike emosies wat sommige mense ervaar wanneer hulle Islam as Geloof ontdek. Vir sommige Reverts is dit so wonderlik wanneer hulle Islam ontdek dat die soms hartseer soeke na die Waarheid deur trane van blydskap opgevolg word omdat dit vir hulle dikwels na jare se lees en bid en soek eers duidelik word, soos Allah wil.

Ek probeer vir jou vra of Allah al vir jou so kosbaar geword dat dit jou hele lewe en jou alles behels? Het jy al deur jou jare van Moslemwees so 'n verhouding met..." (Meer te lees)

HEALTH TIPs
 
Mum's sometimes are tempted to leave their baby in its crib or playpen for convenience or to put them on a pre-determined routine for feeding, changing, and sleeping regardless to the child's day-to-day rhythms or preferences. Having a secure attachment to mum is vital to healthy emotional development of the child. Make sure to hold, touch, talk to, and comfort the children in your care.
