THE STORY

TWO OPPOSITE VIEWS – NICE ONE!

Here is how two people looking at the same thing can see it VERY differently.

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: ‘I am blind please help.’ There were only a few coins in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words. Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.

That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, ‘were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?’ The man said, ‘I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.

What he had written was: ‘Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it.’

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind.

The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be thankful for what you have. Think differently and positively.

SUNNAH

Sayyadatina Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) was eating with his six Companions when a desert Arab came and ate up the food in two mouthfuls. Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) said, "Had he mentioned the Name of Allah, it would have sufficed for all of you.'' [At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary: The pronouncement of Allah's Name brings blessing to the meal, and the omission of His Name robs blessing away.
