Sh Suood Ash Shuraym - 06 Rabiul Awwal 1434

Praise be to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, the Forgiver of sins, the Accepter of repentance, the Mighty in strength and Severe in punishment, the Donor of every gain and grace, the Up-lifter of every horrendous calamity and distress! I praise Him (?) for His abundant graces, great generosity and ample bounties ; and I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah firstly and lastly, explicitly and implicitly; and I bear witness that Muhammad is Allah's Servant and Messenger. He sent him both to the Jinn and Humans as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner, and as one who invites to Allah by His Leave and as a lamp spreading light. May Allah send His Salat (Graces, Honors, Mercy, and Peace) on him, on his noble and pure family, on his Companions, and on the tab'în (the contemporaries of the Companions of the Prophet Sallallahu Alayhi Wa Sallam after his death) and those who followed them righteously till the Day of Judgment

O people! I advise you and myself to fear Allah (?), for in this life you are merely ordered and charged (with a great responsibility) by Him. Ordeals afflict you and death pierces you; graces come to you in succession; however, you do not get one grace except by leaving another, and no effect of yours continues except by another one departing; and no new thing can be renewed except by another new thing decaying, some origins of which we are but branches have gone away. So (O you wise) tell me what kind of existence can branches enjoy without origins! “Whereas the life of this world as compared with the Hereafter is but a brief passing enjoyment.” [Ar-Ra'd: 26]

O people! People in general are naturally disposed for toil and hard work. Allah has created man in toil “… all people go back and forth, and one either sells himself in order to save it and set it free or to destroy it.”

People can be either hard workers who enjoy what they do or ones who suffer because of it. They might weaken in front of difficulties and hardships disgracefully; and they might be entranced by benefits tyrannically; the good one among all those is he who does not deviate (from the right path) or become oppressive, and remain calm and composed in both cases. He is one who pushes himself hard to stand at the door of his Creator and Master asking Him for pardon, good health and well-being in his religion, worldly affairs, family, and wealth, since preference of good health and well-being is a natural disposition that Allah has created man with. Indeed, no one likes ordeals and pains except one who is insane. read more

ONE ICY TRIP JOKE

One October my wife and I spent a vacation on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. We were eager to visit the rain forests near the coast, but we heard that snowslides had made some of the roads impassable. Although apprehensive about the conditions we might run into, we drove on.

Sure enough, we had gone only a short way up the Hoh Rain Forest road when we saw a sign: "Ice 10 miles."

Five miles farther on there was another: "Ice 5 miles."

The next one was: "Ice 1/2 mile." We practically crept that half mile.

Then we came to the last sign. It was outside a small grocery, and it read: "Ice 50¢."
