THE STORY 
 

CHERISH WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE

The first thing I have learnt is that we must always begin with our strengths. There is an imaginary story of a rabbit. The rabbit was enrolled in a rabbit school. Like all rabbits, it could hop very well but could not swim. At the end of the year, the rabbit got high marks in hopping but failed in swimming. The parents were concerned. They said, 'Forget about hopping. You are, anyway good at it. Concentrate on swimming.' They sent the rabbit for tuitions in swimming. And guess what happened? The rabbit forgot how to hop! As for swimming, have you ever seen a rabbit swim? While it is important for us to know what we are not good at, we must also cherish what is good in us. That is because it is only our strengths that can give us the energy to correct our weaknesses.

SUNNAH, (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
 

'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha says: "Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam once said: 'What a nice curry vinegar is"'. [TIRMIZI]

Commentary: The reason being there is not much trouble in it. Bread can easily be eaten with it. It is always easily available. It also keeps away formalities. Besides one lives in this world for a little while. Vinegar has many benefits in it. It is an antidote for poison. It stops phlegm and gall. It helps digest food, kills the worms of the stomach and creates a good appetite. Due to its cold effect, it may not be good for some people. But it surely is a good curry which is obtained easily. In whatever way it is praised, its full benefits cannot be emphasised. It is stated in a Hadith that Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam ate it and said: 'What a wonderful curry it is'. In another Hadith it is stated that Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam made Du'aa for Barakah in it and said: "It was the curry of the previous Ambiyaa also'. In one Hadith it is stated, 'The house that has vinegar in it, will not be in need' i.e. That house will not be in need of curry. These narrations have been mentioned in the Jam 'ule Wasaa-il from Ibn Maajah.

 
Dagstukkies deur S'aad Bekker
 
"Een van ons menslike swakhede, is dat ons geneig is om oor en oor dieselfde foute te maak. Party mense het net 'n sterker wilskrag as ander om weerstand te bied teen die sonde, maar sommige mense ondervind dat hulle soms foute oor en oor kan maak en dan voel hulle baie sleg daaroor, want wie van ons wil nou moedswillig ongehoorsaam wees? Sommige mense word selfs siek daarvan omdat die skuldgevoelens hulle heeltemal lamlê.

Een van die Pragtige Name van Allah is: Die Oor-en-oor-vergewende(Al-Ghaffaar.) Allah stel Homself aan ons bekend met hierdie Naam, as die Een wat aanhou..." (Meer te lees)

HEALTH TIPs
 

SLEEPING ON A SOFT BED

Be kind to your back, but do make sure you have a firm mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it's bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you do not need to invest in a new one - simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank. Similarly, if your mattress is old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If you will be spending hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.
