As Salamo Alaikum All May this reach you in the best of health and strongest of Imaan. Enes Ibn Malik reports that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah and greeted him in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (saw) asked him where he came from. The Bedouin said: "I come from far seeking answers to some questions." Our master (saw) told him to ask his questions. I wish to be an intelligent man, what should I do? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Fear Allah. I wish to be a loyal servant to Allah and do what He wants me to do? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Read the Qur'an. I wish to be enlightened and have peace of heart? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Remember Death. I wish to be protected against enemies? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Trust in Allah. I wish to follow the Straight Path? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Do good to others for Allah's sake. What should I do so that Allah does not abase me?

Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Be in a state of ablution at all times. How can I save myself from the hellfire? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Protect your eyes, your tongue, your hands and what is below your waistline against evil. How can I cleanse myself from my sins? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Shed tears for what you have done and repent by undoing what you have done wrong. I wish to be a respectable person? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Then don't divulge the wrong doings of anybody. What should I do to protect myself from the tortures of the grave? Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Recite the Surah Mulk.

Holy Prophet (saw) Replies - Give the utmost care in taking your ablutions and in being clean and pure. intersting huh??? and another nice story, just 2 more min..promise ~~~~~ ***** ~~~~~ A Moral Story (The Ship): ~~~~~ ***** ~~~~~ A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only two of the men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island. The two survivors, not knowing what else to do, agreed that they had no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them and stay on opposite sides of the island. The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the land, and he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's parcel of land remained barren. After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was wrecked, and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the land. On the other side of the island, there was nothing. Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food. The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing. Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the island?" "My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he does not deserve anything." "You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings." "Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "What did he pray for that I should owe him anything?" "He prayed that all your prayers be answered." For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our prayers alone, but those of another praying for us. ~~~~~ ***** ~~~~~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
