THE STORY 
 

Why Allah allows pain and suffering

A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut. 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 Allah, the barber said: 'I don't believe that Allah exists.'

'Why do you say that?' asked the customer. 'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that Allah doesn't exist. Tell me, if Allah exists, would there be so many sick people? Would there be abandoned children?

If Allah existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't imagine a loving Allah 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 do not 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! That's what happens when people do not come to me.'
'Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's the point! Allah, too, DOES exist!
That's what happens when people do not go to Him and do not look to Him for help.
That's why there's so much of pain and suffering in the world.'

 
SUNNAH, (PRACTISES OF MUHAMMAD Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam)
 

'Aayeshah Radiyallahu 'Anha says: "Till the demise of Rasulullah sallallahu'Alayhi Wasallam, his family never ate a full stomach of bread made of barley for two consecutive days". [SHAMAAIL TIRMIZI]

Commentary: lt is Possible that they may have eaten a full stomach of dates, but not of bread, where they did not eat it for two consecutive days. A question may arise, that it is evident from the Ahadith that Sayidinah Rasulullah Sallalahu 'Alayhi Wasallam gave his wives their expenses for a year.

The 'ulama have explained that, in the hadith the word 'Ahl' (family) is extra and rneans that the expenses were for himself. It also shows that he did not have any other provisions. Some 'ulama have explained it in this manner, that he gave his wives provision, but they also, in wanting to gain Thawaab (reward), gave it away in charity. There are two other explanations that may be possible. The first is that the yearly expenses were only that much, that they did not cover the cost of continuously eating bread for two consecutive days, but of eating bread sometimes, dates sometimes, and at times remaining hungry. The second is that it may have been in the form of dates. This is not denied in this Hadith but that of eating bread is.

HEALTH TIPs
 

Skipping breakfast

Never, ever skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it"s been around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs food now, more than at any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day, and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a light dinner. Here are some more common health mistakes we make. Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot better.

"'n Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste en 'n Blog gerig op die Afrikaanssprekende Christen deur S'aad Bekker:

Het jy al Hoofstuk 17 van die Koran gelees oor: "Die Kinders van Israel / Die Middernagreis van die Profeet" en elke woord verstaan? Alle lof kom Allah toe: dit is ook nou op die Afrikaanse Moslem Webtuiste net vir jou... en daar is die mooiste verse wat handel oor onder andere: die wonder van die Koran, ons wat soms so haastig bid, hoflikheid en baie ander onderwerpe wat ek baie geniet.

Kyk byvoorbeeld bietjie hier na vers 19: "Maar wie ook al die Hiernamaals verkies en as gelowige met opregtheid pogings aanwend om goeie dade te doen met die oog daarop om die Hiernamaals en die belonings daarvan as vergoeding te ontvang, hulle pogings word waardeer en sal deur Allah beloon word!"

THE SMILE
 
A pregnant woman gets into a car accident and falls into a deep coma. Asleep for nearly 6 months, when she wakes up she sees that she is no longer pregnant and frantically asks the doctor about her baby.

The doctor replies, "Ma'am you had twins! a boy and a girl. Your brother from Maryland came in and named them." The woman thinks to herself, "No, not my brother... he's an idiot!" She asks the doctor, "Well, what's the girl's name?"

"Denise."

"Wow, that's not a bad name, I like it! What's the boy's name?"

"Denephew" he replied.
