PRIORITIES FIRST
A professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When class began, wordlessly he picked up a large empty jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks about 2" in diameter.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The students laughed. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
"Now," said the professor, "I want you to recognize that this is your life. The rocks are the important things - your Deen, your Salaah, your family, your partner, your children - anything that is so important to you that if it were lost, you and your Aakhirah would be nearly destroyed.
"The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house, your car. "The sand is everything else. The small stuff.
"If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your energy and time on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important.
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness and welfare. Take time to repent to your Rabb. Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house and visit your friends.
"Take
care of the rocks first - the things that really matter. Set your priorities.
The rest is just sand."

SOME SUNNAH OF SLEEPING
Hazrat Anas Radiyallahu Anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, "The person who loves my Sunnah loves Me, and the one who loves Me will be with Me in Jannah." (Jamiut Tirmizi, vol 2 pg 96)
Extinguishing burning flames or lamps before sleeping
Sayyiduna Jabir Ibn Abdullah Radiyallahu Anhuma narrates that Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said, "When you intend going to bed, extinguish the lamp, seal the water skin, close the door and cover food items." (Ibn Majah pg 243, Sahih Muslim, Sahih Muslim)
Keeping the Miswaak at the headside
Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn Umar Radiyallahu Anhuma narrates: When Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would take rest, His miswaak would be at His headside. When Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would awaken, Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would immediately use the Miswaak. (Musnad , vol2 pg 117 Sublime Conduct p20)
Using the miswaak upon awakening
Ummul Mu'mineen, Sayyidah Aayesha Radiyallahu Anha narrates: Whenever Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam awoke, whether it was during the day or night , Nabi Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam would always use the Miswaak first and then perform Wudhu. (Sunan Abu Dawud, Sublime Conduct)

"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..."
