THE STORY 
 

HABIB al-AJMI, and the fur coat
----------------------------

Once a famine was raging in Basra. Habib purchased many provisions on credit and gave them away as alms. He fastened his purse and placed it under his pillow. When the tradesmen came to demand payment, he would take out his purse and it was full of Dirhams (money), which he gave away as loans.

Habib had a house in Basra on the crossroads. He also had a fur coat which he wore summer and winter. Once, needing to perform the ritual washing, he arose and left his coat on the ground. Hasan of Basra, happening on the scene, perceived the coat flung in the road.

"This ‘barbarian’ does not even know its value," he commented. "This fur coat ought not to be left here. It may get lost."

So he stood there watching over it untill Habib returned.

"Imam of the Muslims," he cried after saluting Hasan, "why are you standing here?"

"Do you not know," Hasan replied, "that this coat ought not to be left here? It may get lost. Say, in whose charge did you leave it?"

"In 'His' charge," Habib answered, "who appointed you to watch over it."

HEALTH TIPs
 

OLIVE OIL
---------

Excellent treatment for skin and hair, delays old age, treats inflammation of the stomach.

Olive oil is mentioned in the Quranic verse: "Allah is the light of the Heavens and the Earth. An example of His light is like a lantern inside which there is a torch, the torch is in a glass bulb, the glass bulb is like a bright planet lit by a blessed olive tree, neither Eastern nor Western, its oil almost glows, even without fire touching it, light upon light." [AN-NOOR: 35]

The Qur’an also mentions olives as a sacred plant: "By the fig and the olive, and the Mount of Sinai, and this secure city." [AT-TEEN]

Olive oil is also reported to have been recommended by the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) in the following terms: "Consume olive oil and anoint it upon your bodies since it is of the blessed tree." [Tirmizi] He also stated that it cures 70 diseases. [Abu Naim]

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

"Miskien het jy dit al raakgesien of dalk wonder jy waar kom ek aan die storie dat die Suid Afrikaanse Christen-Wêreld besig is om in duie te stort en die Christene haweloos en Kerkloos te laat... Wel, dalk is ek meer bewus daarvan omdat ek uit daardie wêreld kom, toe ek in 2007 'n Moslem geword het. As Moslems nie doelbewus gaan uitreik na die Christene om ons, en hulle uitnooi om Moslems te word en by ons aan te sluit nie, gaan hulle, insha'Allah, baie seer kry en waarskynlik "godloos" opeindig in die waan dat alles wel is terwyl ons as Moslems weet daar kom wel 'n Oordeelsdag... of wat dink jy?
