Happiness Comes from Giving!

This story is about a beautiful, expensively dressed lady who complained to her psychiatrist that she felt that her whole life was empty, it had no meaning.
 
So, the lady went to visit a counselor to seek out happiness. The counselor called over the old lady who cleaned the office floors. The counselor then said to the rich lady"I'm going to ask Mary here  to tell you how she found happiness. All I want you to do is listen to her."
 
So the old lady put down her broom and sat on a chair and told her story:
 "Well, my husband died of malaria and three months later  my only son was killed by a car. I had nobody... I had nothing left. I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat,  I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of taking my own life.
 
Then one evening a little kitten followed me home from work.  Somehow I felt sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the kitten in. I got it some milk, and the kitten licked the plate clean.
 
 Then it purred and rubbed against my leg and for the first time in months,  I smiled.  Then I stopped to think, if helping a little kitten could make me smile,  maybe doing something for people could make me happy. So the next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor  who was sick in bed.
 
Every day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to see them happy. Today, I don't know of anybody who sleeps and eats better than I do. I've found happiness, by giving it to others."
 
When she heard that the rich lady cried.  She had everything that money could buy, but  she had lost the things which money cannot buy.

Islam = The Religion of Peace.

A Mufti sat next to a Reverend on a flight.

The Rev asked the Mufti: What is your occupation?

Mufti: I'm into big business

Rev: But what business exactly?

Mufti: I deal with God

Rev: so you're a Muslim religious leader.. I have one problem with you Muslims: you oppress your women.

Mufti: How do we oppress women?

Rev: You make your women cover up completely and you keep them in the homes.

Mufti: I have a problem with you people: you oppress MONEY

Rev: What? How can one oppress money?

Mufti: You keep your money hidden away, in wallets, banks and safes. You keep it covered up. Why don't you display it in public if it's a beautiful thing

Rev: It will get stolen, obviously.

Mufti: You keep your money hidden because it is so valuable. We value the true worth of women far, far more. Therefore, these precious jewels are not on display to one and all. They are kept in honour and dignity.

Islam = The Religion of Peace.

Fight Like a Man!

There were three guys talking. Two of them were talking about the amount of control they had over their wives, while the third one remained quiet.

After a while one of the first two turned to the third and said, "well, what about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?"

The third fellow said "I'll tell you. Just the other night my wife came to me on her hands and knees."

The first two guys were amazed. "What happened then?" They asked.
She said, "get out from under the bed and fight like a man".

Pious Women!

01* In jannat people will go to visit (see) Allah Taalah, but Allah Ta'Ala himself will visit (to see) the woman who has observed PARDAH while in the world.
 
 02* Every single woman going to hell will take four (4) jannati men. Because they did not fikr nor had they cared in duniya about the Deen and Imaan of that woman and did not teach her Deen, these four men will be:
 
1. her father
2. her brother
3. her husband
4. her son
 
 03* When a woman's husband dies while he was happy and pleased with her, jannat becomes wajib for her
 
 04* When the husband comes home the wife gives him food to eat (not being involved in dishonesty with regard to herself and her    husband's belongings), Allah Tallah gives her the sawaab of 12 years of ibaadat
 
 05* Upon the child crying at night, if the mother feeds the child (gives milk to the child) without cursing, she receives the sawaab of performing namaaz for one year.

 06* A woman receives the sawaab of 70 years of namaaz and roza on giving birth to one child and the pain she suffered in every vein of her body while giving birth, for that she will receive the sawaab of one hajj.

 07* The namaaz and ibaadat of a woman disobedient to her husband do not reach heaven .

 08* Every night of an expectant mother (a woman who is carrying a baby in her womb) is counted as spent in ibaadat and every day as spent in fasting .

 09* A chaste woman who is mindful of namaaz and roza, also makes khidmat for her husband, for her all the 8 doors of jannat are opened . She may enter from whichever doors she likes.

 10* When a woman makes the zikr of bismillah while preparing the dough (for roti), her livelihood is increased (i.e . she receives barakat in her rozi).

 11* A woman who is rendered restless owing to the illness of her baby and yet kept on striving to comfort the baby, Allah Talaah forgives all her sins and gives her the sawaab of 12 years accepted in ibaadat .

 12* A woman who sends out her husband in the path of Allah and stays at home by herself, maintaining her honour and dignity (i.e. protecting herself against temptation and dishonesty) will enter jannat 500 years before her husband while 70,000 angels and hoors will serve her. She will be given ghusl in jannat and sitting on mountains of pearls , she will await the arrival of her husband

 13* When a husband and a wife look at each other with love and affection, Allah himself looks at both of them with love and affection.

 14* A woman, who is deprived(lack) of sleep owing to her child crying at night, receives the sawaab of freeing 20 slaves

 15* When a husband comes home full of worries and the wife extends warm welcome to him and consoles him; she receives the reward of half jihaad.
 
 May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala protect us all, Ameen!

Never argue with a Woman

Never Argue with a Woman?
 
One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and reads her book.
 
Along comes a Game Warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, 'Good morning, Ma'am. What are you doing?'
 
'Reading a book,' she replies, (thinking, 'Isn't that obvious?')
 
'You're in a  Restricted  Fishing Area,' he informs her.
 
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading'
 
'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.  I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
 
'For reading a book,' she replies,

'You're in a Restricted Fishing Area,' he informs her again,
 
'I'm sorry, officer, but I'm not fishing. I'm reading'

'Yes, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.  I'll have to take you in and write you up.'
 
'If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault,' says the woman.
 
'But I haven't even touched you,' says the game warden.
 
'That's true, but you have all the equipment. For all I know you could start at any moment.'
 
'Have a nice day ma'am,' and he left.
 
MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

Important - think differently

 
With special thanks to my brother Mazhar Shah.

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته ،،،

1-           جب تم نماز نہ پڑهو تو مت سوچو كہ وقت نہيں ملا.  بلكہ يہ سوچو كہ تم سے كونسى غلطى ہوئى ہے كہ الله تبارک وتعالى نے تم كو اپنے سامنے كهڑا كرنا پسند نہ كيا ... اس پر غور كرو!!!

2-           اگر توكل سيكهنا ہے تو پرندوں سے سيكهو كہ جب وه شام كو گهر واپس جاتے ہيں توان كى چونچ ميں كل كے لئيے كوئى دانہ نہيں ہوتا.

3-            جو ايمان اتنا كمزور ہو كہ چل كر مسجد تک نہ جائے وه بهلا قيامت كے دن جنت ميں كيسے لے كر جائيگا....... غور كريں!!!!!

4-            ہركوئى چاہتا ہے كہ مجہے كاميابى مل جائے ليكن جب مسجد سے دن ميں 5 مرتبہ آواز آتى ہے "حي على الفلاح" آؤ كاميابى كى طرف – تو اس طرف جانے كى ہم زحمت نہيں كرتے.  افسوس كہ جس چيز كو وه سارى زندگى ہر جگہ تلاش كركہ بهى حاصل نہيں كرسكا وه تو خود اسے اپنے پاس بلارہى ہے .... ذرا سوچيں!!!

5-            الله رب العزت نے فرمايا اگر ميں نے تمام باتيں قسمت ميں لكہنى ہوتيں تو ميں اپنے بندے كو دعا مانگنا نہ سيكهاتا.

6-            جب حضور كے وصال كا وقت قريب آيا تو آپ نے حضرت عزرائيل سے پوچها كہ "كيا ميرى امت كو بهى موت كى اتنى تكليف برداشت كرنى پڑے گى" تو فرشتے نے فرمايا "جى".  تو آپ كى آنكهـ مبارك سے آنسو جارى ہوگئے تو الله نے فرمايا "اے محمد آپ كى امت اگر ہر نماز كے فوراً بعد آئية الكرسى پڑہے گى تو موت كے وقت اس كا ايک پاؤں دنيا ميں ہوگا اور ايک جنت ميں... سبحان الله!!!

7-            كوشش كرو كہ تم دنيا ميں رہو دنيا تم ميں نہ رہے كيونكہ كشتى جب تک پانى ميں رہتى ہے خوب تيرتى ہے ليكن جب پانى كشتى ميں جاتا ہے تو وه ڈوب جاتى ہے (حضرت على).

جزاك الله

11 More Minutes

A cop was patrolling late at night in a well-known lover's spot, famous for all obsene activities.
 
He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing.
 
The cop carefully approaches the car to get a closer look.
 
Then he sees a young man behind the wheel, reading a computer magazine. He immediately notices a young woman in the rear seat, knitting. Puzzled by this surprising situation, the cop walks to the car and gently raps on the driver's window.
 
The young man lowers his window. "Uh, yes, officer?"
 
The cop says: "What are you doing?"
 
The young man says: "Well Officer, I'm reading a magazine."
 
Pointing towards the young woman in the back seat the cop says: "And her, what is she doing?"
 
The young man shrugs: "Sir, I believe she's knitting a pullover sweater."
 
Now, the cop is totally confused.. A young couple, alone, in a car, at night in a Lover's lane... and nothing obscene is happening!
 
The cop asks: "What's your age, young man?" The young man says "I'm 22, sir."
 
The cop asks: "And her...what's her age?"
 
The young man looks at his watch and replies: "She'll be 18 in 11 minutes."
 
 

Subconscious Mind!

What if I told you that there was a part of your mind that is always working, even when you are asleep? This part of your mind is known as...
