THE STORY
The Carpenter
--------------
A highly skilled carpenter who had grown old was ready to retire. He told his employer-contractor of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more leisurely life with his family. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire.

The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favour. The carpenter agreed to this proposal but made sure that this will be his last project. Being in a mood to retire, the carpenter was not paying much attention to building this house. His heart was not in his work.

He resorted to poor workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end his career.

When the job was done, the carpenter called his employer and showed him the house. The employer handed over some papers and the front door key to the carpenter and said "This is your house, my gift to you."

The carpenter was in a shock! What a shame! If he had only known that he was building his own house, he would have made it better than any other house that he ever built!

CONCLUSION
Our situation can be compared to this carpenter. Allah Ta'la has sent us to this world to build our homes in paradise by obeying His commands. Now, we have to decide how well we wish to build the homes where we will live forever. While we perfectly build our home in this world, taking care that our worldly home is built perfectly accurate and to the highest standard- let us not forget or be complacent about building a perfect and beautiful home for us in the life that is to come.

A THOUGHT

BEAUTIFUL MUSLIM LINERS
1. Give Allah what's right, not what's left.
2. Man's way leads to a hopeless end, Allah's way leads to an endless hope.
3. A lot of kneeling will keep you in good standing.
4. He who kneels before Allah can stand before anyone.
5. In the sentence of life, the devil may be a comma, but never let him be the full stop.

 
THE SMILE
Inba asked Bala one day in Verulam, "Bala in your olden days you Never Had cell phones, e-mail, internet, fax and all, how did Your communicate?" Bala replies:
"Ja Inba, in uver days we did not have internet, fax, telephone, e-mail, she-mail and all. We used pigeons. Me and Peru should communicate with pigeons".
Confused Inba asks, "how did you use pigeons Bala?"
"You see Inba", responds Bala,
"I should tie a message to the pigeon's leg and then I fly the pigeon to Peru's house. But one day I did not tie a message and when the pigeon came to Peru's house he see no message. Peru come here very angry and ask me what I think I'm doing. I say Peru, I give you miss call".
