THE HUSBAND STORE

A brand new store has just opened in New York City that sells Husbands. When women go to choose a husband, they have to follow the instructions at the entrance:

"You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are 6 floors and the value of the products increase as you ascend the flights. You may choose any item from a particular floor or may choose to go up to the next floor, but yo...u CANNOT go back... down except to exit the building!"

So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband. ... The 1st floor sign reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs.

The 2nd floor sign reads: Floor 2 -These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.

The 3rd floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids and are extremely good looking.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

She goes to the 4th floor and The sign reads: Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and Help with Housework.

"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!" Still, she goes to the 5th floor and The sign reads: Floor 5 -These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, help with Housework and Have A Strong Romantic Streak.

She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the 6th floor and the sign reads:

Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store.

May ALLAH keep us happy with our spouses. Lets not overlook all the good our spouse does for a little bad. Oh ALLAH enable us to help one another grow closer to you. Aameen

PAIN OF THE MOTHER

Abdullah Ibn Umar (R.A) once saw a man from Yemen carrying his mother on his back and going around the Kabah in his Tawaaf. Rather than showing any sign on complaint, the man was happy, repeating a line of poetry in which he likened himself to a camel his mother was mounting.

He looked at Abdullah Ibn Umar (R.A) and asked him whether by doing so, he has discharged his debt to his mother. 

Abdullah Ibn Umar (R.A) said, "No you have not even paid back one twinge of her labour pain when she gave birth to you."

May ALLAH grant our mothers the Highest ranks in Jannah. Aameen

پاکستان کے حالات، الله کا عذاب اور ہمارا فرض

رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم نے فرمایا 

جب لوگوں کا یہ حال ہو جائے کہ جب وہ برائی دیکھیں مگر اس کو صحیح کرنے کی کوشش نہ کریں

تو قریب ہے الله اپنے عذاب میں سب کو لپیٹ لے. 

الله کی قسم تم کو لازم ہے کہ بھلائی کا حکم دو اور برائی سے روکو.

ورنہ الله تم پر ایسے لوگ مسلط کر دے گا . جو تم میں سب سےزیادہ ذلیل ہونگے اور وہ تمہیں سخت تکلیف دیں گے.

پھر تمھارے نیک و کار دعائیں مانگیں گے مگر وہ قبول نہیں ہونگی.

(ترمزی ٢١٧٨ - ابو داود ٤٣٣٨ ) 

MINI GOLF

It was a sunny saturday afternoon. My friend was taking his two little boys to play minituare golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, "How much is it to get in?"

The young man replied, "£3.00 for you and £3.00 for any kid over the age of six. We let them in for free if they are six or younger. How old are they?"

My friend replied, "The one is three and the other is seven, so I guess I owe you £6.00."

The man at the ticket counter said, "Did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself thre pounds. You could have told me the older one is six. I wouldnt have known the difference."

"Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference."

What would you have done in that situation? What would you have taught them?

In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, mak sure we set a good example for everyone we work and live with, especially our young eyes and ears.

The Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Four traits whoever posesses them is a hypocrite and whoever posesses some of them has an element of hypocrisy until he leaves it; the one who when he speaks he lies, when he promises he breaks his promise, when he disputes he trangresses and when he makes an agreement he violates it." [Bukhari and Muslim]

THE SNAKE CATCHER

There was once a snake catcher who once went to thee mountains. Due to the winter cold and heavy snow, many very big snakes lay motionless, as if they were dead.

The snake catcher picked up one of these seemingly lifeless snakes and took it to Baghdad, with the purpose of using it for a show. Showing it off, he made big claims as to how he had brilliantly captured his snake.

However, when the sun began to shine and its warmth cloaked the snake, the coldness in its body dissapeared. The signs of life were soon apparent and when the snake began to move, the snake catcher and all those around fled.

Our Nafs is like that snake. With purification and effort our nafs becomes frozen. It appears to be dead. But give it a little heat from the fire of Sin and it will bite again. A little exposure to some past sins and the nafs swings back to life. We should not think that we have killed our nafs and thus become unmindful.

MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day, and all the patients were shouting, "13...13...13."

The little fence was too high to see over, but I saw a little gap int he planks, so I looked through to see what was going on...

Some idiot poked me in the eye with a stick!

Then they all started shouting "14...14...14."

Abu Hurairah (R.A) reported that the Messenger of ALLAH (Peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Part of someone being a good Muslim is leaving alone that which does not concern him." [TIRMIDHI]
