THE MESSAGE
Take it easy?

A long time ago, there was an Emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he likes, then the Emperor would give him the area of land he has covered.

Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much area as possible.

Came to a point when he had covered a substantial area and he was exhausted and was dying. Then he asked himself, "Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I only need a very small area to bury myself."

The above story is similar with the journey of our Life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love.

One day when we look back, we will realize that we don't really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of Work and Play, Family and Personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your Life. Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of Life, the whole aim of human existence.

So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile, Life is short. Do not take Life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy Life!

 
DUA/PRAYER

RABBY AWZINY AN ASHKURA NIMATAKALLATY ANAMTA ALAYYA WA ALAA WALIDAYYA WA AN A'AMALA SAULIHAN TARDHAUHU WA ASLIHLY FEE THURRIYYATY INNY TUBTU ILAYKA WA INNY MINAL MUSLIMEEN.

O Lord, grant me that I may be grateful to thee for the favours which Thou bestowed on me and my parents and that I may act in a manner which may earn thine pleasure and also reform my children; truly do I repent before Thee and I am truly a Muslim.

BENEFIT: Sayyadina Abu Bakr RA made this Dua excessively. Hence all his family members accepted Islam. It is also beneficial for disobedient children.

NEWS
The world's largest international police organisation, Interpol, has declined to comment on SABC News reports that suspended Public Prosecutions Director Vusi Pikoli secured a warrant of arrest for Police Commissioner Jackie Selebi. The France-based organisation, of which Selebi is the president, says it's been aware of reports that an arrest warrant has been issued for Selebi.

Medical aid giant Discovery Health is being sued for hundreds of millions of rand. The independent financial firm Wynsam Wealth is accusing Discovery of illegally charging thousands of its members for ancillary services in the past.

Pakistani president, Pervez Musharraf, has been nominated to run in an October 6 presidential election. Two opposition parties also filed nomination papers to stand against Musharraf saying that he cannot be re-elected while he remains army chief.

In the latest atrocities, Israeli forces are preventing the unification of Palestinian families. Israel has refused to probe claims made by Palestinian husbands and wives to live together in the occupied region.

Palestinian women often get married or are married to Palestinian refugees in Jordan or neighboring countries.

& finally... Another ATM has been blasted, this time in the Zakariyya Park, south of lenasia, the blast occurred at the shops across the Caltex garage. Shops around the ATM were damaged. Residents in the area say the blast was heard before sehri.

RAMADHAAN Q&A

If a person recovered from his sickness but continued feeling weak and he feels that if he fasts, he will fall ill again. It will be permissible not to fast.

If a person is travelling, it is permissible for him not to fast. He must make Qadha of the missed fast whenever possible. ""Travelling"" in this context is the same as that mentioned in the chapter on offering Salaah while travelling, i.e. one must have the intention of travelling approximately 77 kilometres or more.

If by travelling, a person will not experience any difficulties by fasting, e.g. he is travelling by train and feels that he will reach his destination by the evening or he has all the necessary items which will give him comfort during the course of the journey, in such a case it will be preferable to fast even though he is still regarded as a Musafir. But if he does not fast despite all these comforts, even then there will be no sin on him. However, he will be deprived of the virtue of fasting in the month of Ramadhaan. If a person experiences difficulties because of fasting during the course of his journey, in such a case it will be better not to fast."

A THOUGHT
Unnecessary Talking - Umar Ibn al-Khattab, May Allah be pleased with him, said: "A person who talks too much is a person who often makes mistakes, and someone who often makes mistakes, often has wrong actions. The Fire has a priority over such a frequent sinner."
 
THE SMILE

A small boy was looking at the red ripe tomatoes growing in the farmer's garden. "I'll give you my two pennies for that tomato," said the boy pointing to a beautiful, large, ripe fruit hanging on the vine.

"No," said the farmer, "I get a dime for a tomato like that one."

The small boy pointed to a smaller green one, "Will you take two pennies for that one?"

"Yes," replied the farmer, "I'll give you that one for two cents."

"OK," said the lad, sealing the deal by putting the coins in the farmer's hand, "I'll pick it up in about a week."
