THE STORY

THE YOUNG SCHOLAR
----------------------
There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long time.
When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or any expert who could answer his 3 Questions. His parents were able to find him a Muslim scholar. This was what they had discussed:

Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?
Scholar: I am one of Allah (SubHana Wa Ta`ala's servants and Insha-Allah (God willing), I will be able to answer your questions.
Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were NOT able to answer my questions.
Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah (SubHana Wa Ta`ala).
Young Man: I have 3 questions:
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is Taqdeer (fate)?
3. If Shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why at the end he will be thrown to hell that is also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far?

Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard.

Young Man (feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me?
Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions.
Young Man: I really don't understand.
Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: Of course, I felt the pain.
Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists?
Young Man: Yes.
Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain!
Young Man: I cannot.
Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel God's existence without being able to see His shape... Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?
Young Man: No.
Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me today?
Young Man: No.
Scholar: That is Taqdeer (fate) my second answer... My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?
Young Man: It is created from flesh.
Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?
Young Man: Flesh.
Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: In pain.
Scholar: Thats it. this is my third answer, Even though Shaitan (Devil) and also the hell were created from the fire, if Allah wants, insha-Allah (God willing), the hell will become a very painful place for Shaitan.

US president George Bush, has used his seventh and final State of the Union to defend his unpopular Iraq war strategy. Bush says an early withdrawal in Iraq would hamper the US’s so called peace plans in the region.

The Confederation of African Football has warned Egyptian striker Mohamed Aboutreika over a sign displaying solidarity with the people of the Gaza Strip.

South African mine owners are hopeful that an agreement may be reached with Eskom today. This means miningf companies will be able to resume their operations soon.

Airports company ACSA and baggage handlers Equity Aviation will take each other on in the Johannesburg High Court today. Equity is involved in a dispute with ACSA after its contract was cancelled last year - it’s asking the court to allow it to trade until a new license tender is finalised later this year.

HEALTH TIP

HONEY AND VITAMIN A/E
-------------------------
This is a very good and effective cleanser, especially for people with blemishes. Take half a cup of warm water. Add one-tablespoon honey. Snip open one capsule of vitamin A and one capsule of vitamin E. Mix well. Apply quickly all over the face. Leave it on for 2 minutes and wash with cold water.

These cleansers can be used in the mornings before a bath; however, it is imperative to use them at bedtime. Remove all traces of make-up with milk, or rosewater and glycerine cleansers everyday, and use any of the others occasionally to treat your skin to a special cleansing routine.

A THOUGHT

KNOWLEDGE
------------
Sayyadina Ali RA said to Kamil: 0 Kamil, knowledge is better than wealth. Knowledge guards you but you are guarding wealth. Knowledge dispenses justice, while wealth seeks justice. Wealth decreases with expense while knowledge increases with expense. [GHAZALI]

 
THE SMILE
AN OLD MAN BUYS A PARROT
-----------------------------

A old man is buying a parrot.
"Are you sure it doesn't scream, yell, or swear?" he asked.
"Oh absolutely. It's a religious parrot," the storekeeper assures him.
"Do you see those strings on his legs? When you pull the right one, he recites a prayer, and when you pull on the left he recites verses."
"Wonderful!" says the old man, "but what happens if you pull both strings?"

"I fall off my perch, you stupid fool!" screeched the parrot.
