WHICH
WOULD BE YOUR DECISION?
------------------------------------
A group of children are playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child is playing on the disused track, the rest on the optional one.
The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchane. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing at the disused one would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?
Lets pause to think what decision we would eventually make...
Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one lone child. You may think the same way, I guess. But have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?
Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the used track was sidelined. And in the case where he was sacrificed, none shed a tear for him.
While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right ones.
"Remember that what's right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right."
Everybody makes mistakes, that's why they put erasers on pencils.
Commentary
The 'Ulama differ in the explanation of the word 'Qarfasaa'. The most
commonly known is, that while sitting on the ground, to lift both thighs
in an upright position, and fold both arms around the legs. It is also
termed in the Urdu language as sitting 'Gowt maar ke'. The reason for
the awe was, that at this moment Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu 'Alayhi
Wasallam was in some deep thought and worry. He never worried over little
things. He feared that perhaps a punishment or calamity might descend
on the Ummah.

How often do you change your toothbrush? Most of us wait until most of the bristles have either fallen off, or are in such bad shape that we"d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However, since not many of us need to pull out our brush in public, we carry on with our frayed one until we lose it. Replace your toothbrush often.
Damaged bristles can harm the enamel, and don"t massage your gums well. If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know you must do it, you might as well be doing it right. Imagine going through the annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a day only to find out that you"re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised otherwise.
"Sadia het pas vir ons 'n nuwe artikel vir: "Vir die Dames" op ons Webtuiste geskryf, uit haar eie ervaring as dogter in haar oorlede ouers se huis en hoe sy die dood van haar ouers ervaar het en steeds ervaar. Alle lof kom Allah toe. In die artikel kyk sy ook na die invloed, soos Allah wil, wat die herinnering aan ouers asook die onthou van hulle geboortedatums en afsterwe datums elke jaar op 'n huwelik kan hê...
Sy wys ook daarop dat mens die keuse het om, of vasgevang te raak in seer herinneringe of... maar wag voodat ek te veel sê, gaan lees bietjie self, soos Allah wil, en beleef die seën van Allah se liefde..."(Lees meer)
Jay went to a psychiatrist. “Doc, he said, “I’ve got trouble. Every time I get into bed I think there is somebody under it. I get under the bed; I think there’s somebody on top of it. Top, under, under top. I’m going crazy!”
“Just
put yourself in my hands for two years,” said the shrink.
“Come to me three times a week and I’ll cure you.”
“How much do you charge?”“A hundred dollars per visit.”
“I’ll think about it.”
Jay never went back. Some time later he met the doctor on the street.
“Why didn’t you ever come to see me again? Asked the psychiatrist.
“For a hundred buck a visit? A woodcutter cured me for 10 dollars.”
“Is that so! How?”
“He told me to cut the legs off the bed.”
