THE UNSPOKEN MESSAGE
A member of a certain Masjid, who previously had started attending the Masjid to perform his Salaah, suddenly stopped attending. After a few weeks, the Imam decided to visit him.
It was a chilly evening. The Imam found the man alone at home, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his Imam's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace...and waited.
The Imam made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the Imam took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone, then he sat back in his chair, still silent.
The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and dead.
Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting. The Imam glanced at his watch and realized it was time to leave. He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it.
As the Imam reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek, 'Shukran for your visit and especially for the firey sermon. I will be attending Masjid again tomorrow starting with the Fajr Salaah, Inshallah'.
We live in a world today, which tries to say too much with too little. Consequently, few listen. Sometimes the best sermons are the ones left unspoken.
Abu Ayyub Ansaari Radiyallahu'Anhu reports: "We were once present in the assembly of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam. Food was brought to him. I did not observe any food that had so much Barakah (blessings) at the beginning and at the end of which there was no Barakah left in the food. We therefore asked Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi Wasallam reason?. He replied: 'In the beginning we all recited 'Bismillah' before we began eating. Then someone in the end joined us, and did not recite ''Bismillah'. The Shaytaan ate with him"'. [SHAMAAIL]
Commentary: According to the majority of the 'ulama, by the word 'Sh'aytaan eating the actual meaning is intended. It is not impossible for the Shaytaan to eat and drink. In this Hadith only Bismillah is mentioned, therefore the 'ulama say, if one only recites Bisrnillah before eating, it will suffice, but it is better and recornmended that the full 'Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim' be recited. The 'ularna have also written that it is better to say the Bismillah audily so that others who may have forgotten may also remember it.

Not exercising: So all of us know we should exercise more, but many of us don't. This is a health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people only start working out once they've experienced a warning signal. Don't wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle change. Make the change now. You do not need to train for the marathon to be in top shape.
Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a world of difference to your health. You could then increase this to forty minutes, four times a week - and you're all set. If you haven't exercised for a week, you're making a mistake.
Wat 'n wonderlike ondervinding: ek het nooit kon dink dat wanneer ek die Pragtige Name van Allah gaan begin vertaal ek soveel vreugde daaruit sou ervaar nie. Kyk, dit is nou vir jou interessant hoor! Alle lof kom Allah toe! Ken jy al die Pragtige Name van Allah? Weet jy wat elke Naam presies beteken en wat Allah wil hê, soos Allah wil, dat dit vandag in 2010 vir jou sal beteken?
'n Broeder het selfs vir my 'n epos gestuur en daarop gewys dat Allah juis deur sy Name ook vandag in ons lewens betrokke wil wees. Alle lof kom Allah toe... so, gaan maak bietjie 'n draai hier, soos Allah wil, en dan epos jy my ook en sê my wat dink jy van dit wat ek klaar het sover... (Lees meer)
