THE PREGNANT DEER

In a Jungle, a pregnant deer is about to give birth. She finds a remote grass field near a strong-flowing river. This seems a safe place. Suddenly labour pains begin. At the same moment, dark clouds gather around above & lightning starts a forest fire. She looks to her left and sees a hunter with his arrow extended pointing at her. To her right, she spots a hungry lion approaching her.

What can the pregnant deer do?
She is in labour!
What will happen?
Will the deer survive?
Will she give birth to a fawn?
Will the fawn survive?
Or will everything be burnt by the forest fire?
Will she perish to the hunters’ arrow?
Will she die a horrible death at the hands of the hungry lion approaching her?

She is constrained by the fire on the one side & the flowing river on the other & boxed in by her natural predators.

What does she do?
She focuses on giving birth to a new life.
The sequence of events that follows are:
– Lightning strikes & blinds the hunter.
– He releases the arrow which zips past the deer & strikes the hungry lion.
– It starts to rain heavily, and the forest fire is slowly put out by the rain.
– The deer gives birth to a healthy fawn.

Moral of the Story: Focus on what you are doing and the rest will take care of itself.

Commentary: At certain times it was the practice of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam not to give importance to fixing certain days. At times he fixed certain days. For example, fasting on the first three days of the month, or sometimes on the last three days of the month, or in some months on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, and in another month on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Therefore different Ahaadith have been narrated on this subject, and Sayyiditina Aayeshah Radhiyallahu Anha refused to specify a certain day.

* Yemen: 'It is still a revolution' - A group of 50 or so young men and women congregated on the pavement across from a police station in northwest Sanaa. They had been waiting for hours with one mission - to secure the release of their friends and fellow activists from the state facility across the street.

* 47 Myanmar soldiers reported dead in clashes with Kokang rebels - Days of clashes with ethnic rebels in northern Myanmar have left 47 government soldiers dead and dozens more wounded.

* Ukraine crisis: Shelling follows Minsk peace summit - New shelling has been reported in the rebel-held east Ukrainian cities of Donetsk and Luhansk, shortly after the peace deal reached in Minsk.

* The ANC must solve its Zuma problem - The ANC has a severe problem. And unfortunately for the rest of us, when the ANC has a problem, particularly a severe one, we as a country have a problem.

* EFF conduct 'cannot and must not be tolerated' - Parliament should take stern action against members of the Economic Freedom Fighters who disrupted President Jacob Zuma's state-of-the-nation address.

In a terrible accident at a railroad crossing, a train smashed into a car and pushed it nearly four hundred yards down the track. Though no one was killed, the driver took the train company to court.

At the trial, the engineer insisted that he had given the driver ample warning by waving his lantern back and forth for nearly a minute. He even stood and convincingly demonstrated how he'd done it. The court believed his story, and the suit was dismissed.

"Congratulations," the lawyer said to the engineer when it was over. "You did superbly under cross-examination."
"Thanks," he said, "but he sure had me worried. “How’s that?" the lawyer asked.

"I was afraid he was going to ask if the lantern was lit!"
