MISTAKES MAKE US PERFECT

A great scientist, an inventor of mercury thermometer, tried 1000 different materials in search of that one material which would measure the temperature accurately.

When nothing worked fine, his subordinates were disappointed and said, "All our work is in vain. We spent so much time on this and we have learned nothing."

The scientist replied with confidence, "Oh, we have worked for so many years and we have in fact learned a lot. We now know that there are 1000 materials that we cannot use to make an accurate thermometer."

Lesson:
We care so much about the results of actions that we forget about the efforts put. Mistakes happen to the best of us! The success lies in learning from the mistakes and not repeating them. We live in a world where our own friends criticize us and demoralize us by telling us to give up because we failed many times. The one who does it right at the first go is appreciated and is considered winner while others still trying are losers. A man who has made no mistakes is a man who has not learned anything. So don’t be afraid of making mistakes - it’s just part of an effective learning process.

Aayeshah Radiyallahu Anha reports. "A person asked permission to present himself before Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam while I was with him. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: 'What a bad person is he among his community'. After saying this, he gave him permission to enter. After the person entered, he spoke very softly to him. When the person left I said: 'O Rasulullah, you said what you said before he entered, then you spoke so softly to him,. Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam said: 'O Aayeshah, the worst person is that who stops speaking to one because of his indecency".

Commentary: Most of the Ulama have written that this person's name was Uyaynah. It is said that till then he had not sincerely accepted Islaam, but hypocritically and outwardly. Upto that time Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam treated the hyprocrites in the same manner as he had treated the Muslims. Therefore he treated him in the same manner. After the death of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam when some people began turning away from Islaam (irtidaad), he also became a Murtad, and openly declared the Kufr that was in his heart. When he was brought before Sayyidina Abubakr Radiyallahu Anhu, the children of Madinah began jeering him that this person has also become a Murtad (turned apostate). He replied: 'Since when have I been a Muslim that it may be said that I have become a murtad. He later became a Muslim, and took part in Jihaad in the time of Sayyidina Umar Radiyallahu Anhu.

It is for this reason that Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam pointed out this fact before he entered. Since this was intended to rectify (Islaah) and to save others from harm, therefore this saying of Sayyidina Rasulullah Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam cannot be termed according to the Shari'ah as Ghibah (backbiting). To mention a bad deed of a person with the intention that others may not fall into it, or be tricked into it, is not classed as those prohibited in Ghibah.

COURTESY; SISTER FROM SCOTLAND

Every problem, every heartbreak, every sadness, is like a red traffic signal...

Stop! And take account. Be grateful for even the sad.

What if Allah never changes the red signal to green?

Sadness till our last breath?

Allah forbid.

Be grateful for the good, the bad, the ugly, the sad.

(Nashreen Kassim)
