Allah does exist




Allah does exist


A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects.

When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I
don't believe that God exists."

"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.

"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving a God who would allow all of these things."

The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkempt.

The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: "You know what? Barbers do not exist."

"How can you say that?" asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!"

"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside."

"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come to me."

"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do not look for him.

Boy And The Apple Tree

A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow...he loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him. Time went by...the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.


One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad . "Come and play with me" the tree asked the boy. "I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees any more" the boy replied. "I want toys. I need money to buy them." "Sorry, but I do not have money... but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money." The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was deeply saddened.



One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited "Come and play with me" the tree said. "I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me ? " " Sorry, but I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house." So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and upset.



One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. "Come and play with me!" the tree said. "I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat ?" said the man . "Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy." So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.




Finally, the man returned after many years. " Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore. No more apples for you ..." the tree said. "No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite" the man replied. "No more trunk for you to climb on" "I am too old for that now" the man said. "I really cannot give you anything... the only thing left is my dying roots" the tree said with tears. "I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years" the man replied. "Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest, Come, come sit down with me and rest." The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears...This is a story for everyone.
The tree is like our parents
When we were young, we loved to play with our Mum and Dad...
When we grow up, we leave them...only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.
No matter what,
parents will always be there and
give everything they could
just to make you happy. 
You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but that is how all of us treat our parents. We take them for granted we don't appreciate all they do for us, UNTIL it's too late. May Allah forgive us of our shortcomings and may He Guide us, Insha'allah Ameen


Please enlighten all your friends and your families by telling them this story,

Love your Parents..............
And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one of them or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honour.

And lower unto them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say:

"My Lord! Bestow on them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was small."

"Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Álayhi Wasallam ) said that Jibreel AS (angel) Said that
" Woe unto him in whose presence his parents or either one of them attains old age, and (through failure to serve them) he is not allowed to enter 'Jannah".To this Rasulullah(Sallallahu Alayhe wassallam) said Ameen!

Story of the Day



¤ Mother's love ¤

A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said: 

For cutting the grass: $5.00 
For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00 
For going to the store for you: $.50 
Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25 
Taking out the garbage: $1.00 
For getting a good report card: $5.00 
For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00 
Total owed: $14.75 

Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he'd written on, and this is what she wrote: 

For the nine months I carried you while you were growing inside me: 
'No Charge' 

For all the nights that I've sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you: 
'No Charge' 

For all the trying times, and all the tears that you've caused through the years: 
'No Charge' 

For all the nights that were filled with dread, and for the worries I knew were ahead: 
'No Charge' 

For the toys, food, clothes, and even wiping your nose: 
'No Charge' 

Son, when you add it up, the cost of my love is: 
'No Charge.' 

When the boy finished reading what his mother had written, there were big tears in his eyes, and he looked straight at his mother and said, "Mom, I sure do love you." And then he took the pen and in great big letters he wrote:
"PAID IN FULL". 

Lessons:
'You will never how much your parents worth till you become a parent'

'Be a giver not an asker, especially with your parents. there is a lot to give, besides money.'

Advice: IF your mom is alive and close to you, give her a big kiss and ask her for forgiveness. If she is far away, call her. if she passed away, pray for her...!!!

Story of the Day

A very poor man lived with his wife. One day, his wife, who had very long hair asked him to buy her a comb for her hair to grow well and to be well-groomed. The man felt very sorry and said no.

He explained that he did not even have enough money to fix the strap of his watch he had just broken. She did not insist on her request. The man went to work and passed by a watch shop, sold

his damaged watch at a low price and went to buy a comb for his wife.

He came home in the evening with the comb in his hand ready to give to his wife. He was surprised when he saw his wife with
a very short hair cut. She had sold her hair and was holding a new watch band. Tears flowed simultaneously from their eyes, not for the futility of their actions, but for the reciprocity of their love.

MORAL: To love is nothing, to be loved is
something but to love and to be loved by the one you love, that is EVERYTHING. Never take love for granted...!!! :)

.... صَلى الله عليْهِ و َسَلَّمـ"



برطانیہ کے شہر مانچسٹر میں واقع لڑکیوں کے ایک اسکول کے ہال میں تقریری مقابلہ ہورہا تھا۔موضوع تھا "مشہور مذہبی شخصیت"۔
اس موضوع کے تحت ایک بچی نے حضور اقدس صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی شخصیت پر اظہارِ خیال کیا۔
تقریر کے دوران وہ بچی جب بھی لفظ " محمد " ادا کرتی تو صلّی اللہ علیہ واله وسلّم نہ کہتی۔کلاس میں بیٹھی ایک دوسری بچی کو یہ حرکت سخت ناگوار گزری۔ اس غیرارادی غلطی کو ایک دو دفعہ برداشت کرنے کے بعد بچی سے نہ رہا گیا، وہ اچانک اپنی نشست سے اُٹھی اور بلند آواز سے پکار اُٹھی:

"صَلى الله عليْهِ وَ سَلَّمـ .... صَلى الله عليْهِ و َسَلَّمـ"

ہال میں سناٹا چھا گیا۔اسکول کی تاریخ میں پہلی بار کسی نے نظم و ضبط کی خلاف ورزی کی تھی۔

بچی کو فورا ہال سے باہر نکال دیا گیا۔ یہودی اور عیسائی اساتذہ اور ماہرین ِنفسیات پر مشتمل ایک ٹیم نے بچی سے بہت سے سوالات کئے اور اس بے ساختہ حرکت کے بارے میں پوچھا۔
اس نے سسکیوں اور ہچکیوں میں ایمان افروز جواب دیا:
"جب کوئی شخص ہمارے پیارے نبی صلّی اللہ علیہ واله وسلّم کا اسمِ گرامی استعمال کرتا ہے تو اس پر لازم ہے کہ وہ صلّی اللہ علیہ واله وسلّم ادا کرے، میں اس سے باز نہیں رہ سکتی۔
حضور نبی صلّی اللہ علیہ واله وسلّم کا اسمِ گرامی سُن کر صلّی اللہ علیہ واله وسلّم کے الفاظ ادا کرنا میرا ایمانی و دینی حق ہے اور اس فریضے اور حق کی ادائیگی سے مجھے ڈسپلن کے نام پر روکا نہیں جا سکتا۔"
اس کی جرات پر سب ساکت رہ گئے۔

اللهم صل على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد ♥
اللهم بارك على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما باركت على إبراهيم وعلى آل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد
