THE STORY 
 
THE BUZZARD: If you put a buzzard in a pen that is 6 feet by 8 feet and Is entirely open at the top, the bird, in spite of its Ability to fly, will remain a prisoner. The reason is a buzzard always begins a flight from the ground with a Run of 10 to 12 feet. Without space to run, as is its habit, It will not even attempt to fly, but will remain a prisoner For life in a small jail with no top.

THE BAT: The ordinary bat that flies around at night, a remarkably nimble Creature in the air, cannot take off from a level place. If it is placed on the floor or flat ground, all it can do is shuffle about helplessly and, No doubt, painfully, until it reaches some slight elevation from which it can throw itself into the air. Then, at once, it takes off like a flash.

THE BUMBLEBEE: A bumblebee, if dropped into an open tumbler, will be there until it dies, unless it is taken out. It never sees the means of escape at the top, but persists in trying to find some way out through the sides near the bottom. It will seek a way where none exists, until it completely destroys itself.

PEOPLE: In many ways, we are like the buzzard, the bat, and the bumblebee. We struggle with all our problems and frustrations, not realising that all we have to do is look up!

That's the answer, the escape route and the solution to any problem! Just look up.

 
SUNNAH, (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
 

Someone enquired from Aisha (Radiyallahu Anha): "Did Rasoolullah sallallahu alaihe wasallam recite poetry?" She replied, "He sometimes as an example recited the poetry of Abdullah ibn Rawahah (and sometimes of other poets). He sometimes recited this couplet of Tarfah: ‘Sometimes that person brings news to you whom you have not compensated.”  [TIRMIZI]

COMMENTARY: (The meaning of this is that if one wants to know anything about a place, then one will have to pay a person for obtaining information. A person has to be given money etc., for the journey in order to obtain information. At times it may so happen that the news is received without having to spend anything. Someone comes and gives full news.

Some of the Ulama have written that this example given by Sayyidina Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihe wasallam), that without any remuneration, he has given (humanity) the news of Jannah, Jahannum, Qiyaamah, particulars and information regarding the Ambiyaa alaihis salaam, the signs of the future etc. Yet the kuffar (non-believers) do not appreciate this. In this hadith two poets are mentioned, Sayyidina Abdullah ibn Rawahah (Radiyallahu Anha) a famous Sahaabi who accepted Islam before the Hijrah of Sayyidina Rasoolullah (sallallahu alaihe wasallam)  in the Battle of Mu’ata. The second poet is Tarfah, a famous poet of Arabia. In the famous book of Arabic literature ‘Sab’ah Mu’allaqah’, the second Mu’allaqah has been written by him. He lived before the advent of Islam.)

HEALTH TIPs
 

Enhance your will-power; it is likely one of the best training programs you can invest in. Here is an idea to strengthen your will and become a stronger person:

Do not let your mind float like a piece of paper in the wind. Work hard to keep it focused at all times. When doing a task, think of nothing else. When walking to work, count the steps that it takes to get all the way to the office. This is not easy but your mind will soon understand that you hold its reins and not vice versa. Your mind must eventually become as still as a candle flame in a corner where there is no draft.

"'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. 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..."

 
THE SMILE
 
An Italian man, a Scottish man, and a Chinese fellow are hired at a construction site. The foreman points out a huge pile of sand and tells the Italian guy that he is in charge of sweeping. He tells the Scotsman that he is in charge of the shoveling. The Chinese guy is in charge of supplies. The foreman goes away for a couple of hours and when he returns the pile of sand is still there untouched.

He asks the Italian guy, "Why haven't you swept any of this sand?"

The Italian guy says, "I no hava a broom. You saida the Chinese fella wasa ina chargea supplies, but he hasa disappeared and I no coulda finda him nowhere."

The foreman then turns to the Scotsman and says, "You were supposed to shovel this pile of sand."

The Scotsman says, "Aye, boot ah could nay get meeself a shoovel. Ye left th' Chinese gadgie in charge of supplies, boot ah could nay find him either."

The foreman is really angry and storms off toward the pile of sand. He is looking for the Chinese guy.

Just then, the Chinese guy leaps out from behind the the pile of sand and yells, "SUPPLIES!"
