This is a true story about a man named Rashed. He tells his story as follows...
I was not more than thirty years old when my wife gave birth to my first child. I still remember that night.
I had stayed out all night long with my friends, as was my habit. It was a night filled with useless talk, and worse, with backbiting, gossiping, and making fun of people. I was mostly the one who made people laugh; I would mock others and my friends would laugh and laugh. I remember on that night that I'd made them laugh a lot. I had an amazing ability to imitate others – I could change the sound of my voice until I sounded exactly like the person I was mocking. No one was safe from my biting mockery, even my friends; some people started avoiding me just to be safe from my tongue. I remember on that night, I had made fun of a blind man who I'd seen begging in the market. What was worse, I had put my foot out in front him – he tripped and fell, and started turning his head around, not knowing what to say.
I went back to my house, late as usual, and I found my wife waiting for me. She was in a terrible state, and said in a quivering voice, "Rashed... where were you?"
"Where would I be, on Mars?" I said sarcastically, "With my friends of course."
She was visibly exhausted, and holding back tears, she said, "Rashed, I'm so tired. It seems the baby is going to come soon." A silent tear fell on her cheek.
I felt that I had neglected my wife. I should have taken care of her and not stayed out so much all those nights... especially since she was in her ninth month. I quickly took her to the hospital; she went into the delivery room, and suffered through long hours of pain. read more
Fasting on Mondays and Thursdays
Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu alaihi Wa Sallam said:
"Deeds are shown (to Allah) on Mondays and Thursdays, and I like my deeds to be shown when I am fasting." (Tirmizi)
Besides the obligatory fast in Ramadaan, it was the noble practice of Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam to fast on Mondays and Thursdays. Like all the other Sunnats, along with the spiritual benefit, this Sunnat has a tremendous amount of health/worldly benefits. A few of these benefits are:
*
Fasting promotes detoxification.
* Fasting gives the digestive system a much-needed rest.
* Fasting quiets allergic reactions, including asthma and hay fever
* Fasting corrects high blood pressure without drugs.
*
Fasting makes it easy to overcome bad habits and addictions.
* Fasting clears the skin and whitens the eyes.
* Fasting is the perfect gateway to a healthful diet and lifestyle.
* Fasting initiates rapid weight loss with little or no hunger.
...And
of course..it will win the pleasure of Allah Ta'aala and could be a means
of securing our Jannah.

...Rats can tell the difference between two human languages.
...You have no sense of smell when you are sleeping.
Sometime in the middle of the night Holmes woke Watson up and said: "Watson, look up at the stars, and tell me what you see."
Watson replied: "I see millions and millions of stars."
Holmes said: "and what do you deduce from that?"
Watson replied: "Well, if there are millions of stars, and if even a few of those have planets, it's quite likely there are some planets like earth out there. And if there are a few planets like earth out there, there might also be life."
And Holmes said: "Watson, you idiot, it means that somebody stole our tent."
