HADITH/SAYINGS OF MUHAMMAD
SALLALLAHU ALYHI WA SALLAM

Jundub bin Abdullah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alyhi Wa Sallam) said, "He who performs the Fajr (dawn) prayer comes under the Protection of Allah, so beware lest Allah questions you about what you owe Him. For if He questions anyone of you and he falls short of fulfilling the duty which he owes Him, He will requite and then throw upon his face into the Hell-fire". [Muslim]

Commentary: A Muslim who performs Fajr prayer receives the protection of Allah. But he who does not fall short of fulfilling the duty which he owes to Allah. It also serves a warning in case of not observing such duty, Allah will demand failing to it. If He does, Hell will be the requital. This highlights the merit of performing the Fajr prayer with congregation, while the second warns a Muslim that since he has started that day by a pledge with Allah, he must keep it for the full day and abstain from doing anything which goes against it.

POEM
Earth, water, fire and moya….
Hearken to nature’s call
Learn the speech of the birds
Listen to the symphonies of rivers and dams
Hear the melodies of fishes in waters
Sing the praise of the rose and dance with lilies in the field
Hug the soil and know the works of water

Earth, water, fire and moya …..
The caring should hunt for knowledge
The knowing should speak
Those talking should be clear
The hearing should listen
The listening should open their hearts
Those with opened hearts should speak with actions
Those who talk through actions should be the quiet
The quiet should speak by their manners
Those whose manners do the talking should speak by their actions

Earth, water, fire and moya…
The soil and things of the earth
Flesh and matters of the body
Fire and the flames of love
Moya and the unknown

Earth, water, fire and moya…
Learn the language of life
Go with the birds and flowers
Sing with the fishes in the deep
Embrace nature’s beauty and discover the secrets of creation

 
THE SMILE

PAYMENT for the WINDOWS
--------------------------
Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive double-pane energy-efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the contractor who installed them.

He was complaining that the work had been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn't paid for them. So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay for themselves!

Like Helllooooo? It's been a year! I told him.

There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I finally just hung up.

He never called back. I bet he felt like an idiot!
