Compassion to Creature


Sahl ibn Al-Hanzala reported: The Messenger of Allah, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, passed by a camel whose back had fallen to its stomach.

He, sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, said, “Fear Allah concerning your animals. Ride them while they are in good condition and eat them while they are in good condition.”

[Sunan Abu Dawud]

Never Give up !

Despite having adverse conditons in life,with faith in Allah Ta'ala and with courage one can take positivity out of negativity and  come out of darkness to light and reach to desired objective  in life.Story below depicts the same.

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

 Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and begin to shovel dirt into the well.

At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone’s amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw.

With every shovel of dirt that fell on his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and totted off!

Moral -- Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick is to not to get bogged down by it.

We can get out of the deepest wells by not stopping. And by never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

Believer....A Fresh Tender Plant

Narrated Abu Huraira (radiyAllaahu 'anhu) that Allah's Apostle (sallAllaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said,


"The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a believer is afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till Allah removes his difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree which keeps hard and straight till Allah cuts (breaks) it down when He wishes." (See Hadith No. 558, Vol. 9.)

[Bukhari]
