THE STORY 
 

LOVE AND TIME...

Once upon a time, there was an island where all feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others including Love.

One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all repaired their boats and left. Love was the only one who stayed.

Love wanted to persevere until the last possible moment. When the island was almost sinking, Love decided to ask for help. Richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said, "Richness, can you take me with you?" Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you." Love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel.

"Vanity, please help me!" "I can't help you Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered. Sadness was close by so Love asked for help, "Sadness, let me Go with you." "Oh... Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!" Happiness passed by Love too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her!

Suddenly, there was a voice, "Come Love, I will take you." It was an elder. Love felt so blessed and overjoyed that he even forgot to ask the elder her name. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way.

Love realizing how much he owed the elder asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who helped me?" "It was Time," Knowledge answered. "Time?" asked.

Love. "But why did Time help me?"

Knowledge smiled with deep Wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how great Love is."

Bring out the love in your life --- and see what happens.

 
SUNNAH, (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
 

Anas Radiyallahu Anhu says, “Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) used to associate with us and joke. I had a younger brother. Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) said to him, ‘Aba Umayr, what happened to the Nughayr?” [TIRMIZI]

Commentary: Nughayr is a type of bird. The Ulama have translated it as a white tailed, red Pigeon.  The author of Hayatul Haywaan says that it is a Nightingale. Imaam Tirmizi says that the gist of this Hadith is that Sayyidinah Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) addressed this child by his Kuniyyat (patronymic name). He had adopted an animal (bird) as a pet. The animal died and as a result, the child became grieved. In order to cheer him Sayyidina Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) asked him, “What happened to the Nughayr?” Although Sayyidina Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) knew that the animal had died.

There is a difference of opinion whether Sayyidina Abu Umayr RA was known by this Kuniyyat (patronymic name) previously or did Sayyidina Rasoolullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) address him first by this Kuniyyat?  Some Ulama have extracted more than a hundred Masaa-il and rulings from this Hadith.  May that soul be sacrificed that from a sentence of a joke, hundreds of Masaa’il are solved.  And may the Almighty Allah fill the graves of the great Ulama with Nur (light) who have given such great service to each and every Hadith of Sayyidina Rasoolullaah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam) and extracted so many Massa’il, kept it safe and spread it. 

A question arises here that it is also mentioned that the animal was kept in a cage and the child played with it. This is cruelty to an animal, which is prohibited in the Hadith. An answer to this is, to cage an animal and to play with it, is not cruelty. To harm and to be cruel to an animal is a different thing. For this reason the Ulama have written that it is only permissable for that person to keep an animal who will not mis-handle or be cruel to an animal, but care for it properly. It is not permissible for a hard-hearted child or one who does not understand animals to keep them.

At least 59 people have been killed and more than 130 injured in a train collision in eastern India, according to hospital officials.

The US government has announced a major new aid package for Pakistan, with hundreds of millions of dollars to be spent on projects in Pakistan's energy and water sectors.

The US government has ordered BP to submit a plan for reopening its recently capped blown-out oil well to allow oil to flow into the ocean again after engineers detected seepage on the ocean floor near the well.

Head of Crime Line Yusuf Abramjee says we have to be pro-active and we have to blow the whistle on any criminal element that is planning to break the law.

The ANC says that it condemns that media rush to report on minister’s wasteful expendure without checking the facts first.

HEALTH TIPs
 

Learn to be still. The average person doesn't spend even 30 minutes a month in total silence and tranquility. Develop the skill of sitting quietly, enjoying the powerful silence for at least ten minutes a day. Simply think about what is important to you in your life. Reflect on your mission. Silence indeed is golden. As the famous saying goes: "it is the space between the bars that holds the cage."

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen deur S'aad Bekker:

"Ons voel mos nie almal altyd dieselfde nie, is dit nie? Partymaal voel jy goed en ek dalk bietjie af, soos Allah wil, en partymaal voel hy sommer springlewendig dan is ons twee weer bietjie mismoedig. Daarom het ek 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..." (Dagstukkies na behoefte)

 
THE SMILE
 
Joe drove a bus for a living, but he could never finish his route right on time.

After he finished his route, he would always have to explain to his supervisor why he was early or late. "I was stuck behind a big truck," he explained one day, after arriving ten minutes late.

Thinking that the bus driver was not taking his job seriously enough, the supervisor pressed him on the issue. "But Joe, yesterday you were ten minutes early." reminded his boss.

"Yeah," said Joe, "But yesterday, I was stuck behind a Porsche."
