| Our Children By Masood This is the story of a Muslim named Mo. It's a symbolic story that many of us may know. He was born in a Muslim family but they we're weak in the deen. He was a lovely child, he was more precious then anything you've seen. He grew up so quick; it was just a flash before his parent's eyes. They didn't get to teach him about Islam. You know how the time just flies. Before they knew it, they were sending him off to school. They were so happy; he shined like a precious little jewel. He was taught that he was a Muslim, but that's about all he knew. He wanted to know more but his dad had way too many things to do. He had cute little cheeks; they turned rosy as he got tired. He was a handsome little guy, he was always admired. But with his parents so busy, he never got to learn about Allah. The days past by and his parents never taught him how to do Salah. Some more years past by, and by now his voice began to change. He felt new emotions, and he liked them, even though they felt strange. His dad finally took him one day to some Islamic Sunday school. But he had already learned from his friends that religion just wasn't cool. Time past by and the little man grew older. With the passage of time his temper became bolder. His mother was getting worried, he was found to be ditching school. But she didn't say anything, or else his temper would flare up like fuel. He would go to parties and come home all drunk. And in some of his classes he was now beginning to flunk. Her cute little rosy-cheeked child had become a wild young man. She cried every night because teaching him Islam was never in her plan. He meet a pretty girl named Rose, he thought he loved her for sure. She noticed how he felt, so she asked him to go out with her. He thought it was love at first sight, she kissed him on the first date. But she just wanted to sleep with him, yet to that he had no debate. He would go out all night with her, sometimes without even saying good-bye. "Why didn't I show him the deen?" His father could only cry. He kept on partying while his family kept on weeping. And he meet other girls, and with them too he was also sleeping. He started to look sick, and he wasn't really felling so good. His mother just had to cry, he didn't look like the way he should. He went to the doctor for what he thought was a cold. "Young man, you got AIDS," is what he was told. When his mom found out she just couldn't take the pain. For not teaching him his deen, she knew she was to blame. Mo got sicker and you could see him getting weaker day by day. And he didn't know Allah, so to Him he never prayed. What could she do now for her once precious little guy? She knew he needed the deen, but now she could only cry. His time came one day so the Angel came for his spirit. His dad told him to say la ilaha illalah, but Mo didn't hear it. "What's that dad? I can't seem to hear you, everything's going dull." But before Mo ever heard it, the Angel was off with his soul. His father fell to his knees and cried like he never did before. He knew he should have taught him the deen, so he felt guilty to the core. This is the story of little Mo. Lets not let it be the story of our kid's situation. So please, my dear brothers and sisters, take this deen to the next generation! [hr] Assalamualaikum, what a horrible story. shows how important deen is especially in this country with so many bad influences, a child can be misguided so easily. i have an son who is 19 months old and learning how to talk just a little bit. i have taught him to make dua, he raises his hands when I ask him to make dua and then I say" Allah please make me a good boy when I grow up" and then I say "ameen" and he makes his hands go over his face and does ameen. he also knows how to say "la illa ha illul laho mohammad durasulallah" it is the cutest thing. teaching our kids thier religion especially in the early ages, is very important. Its when they are young is when they learn the quickest. May Allah guide us and our children towards the right path and forgive us for our sins, ameen. wsalaam [hr] Wow, thats scary...my roommate is a doctor and he works in the ER. He told me about a patient that was brought in the other night, a young guy, who had a severe infection and was close to dying. He noticed his name was Muhammad. From the symptoms, my roommate thought that this guy might have AIDS. He asked the patient if he did, and he denied it. He asked the family, and they denied it. Finally, it came to a point where my roommate is like "Man, you are gonna die. I want to help you.", and the guy caved, and said he had AIDS. Its a truly amazing time we're living in. friend2all |

| ABUSED FOR BEING A MUSLIM (A True Experience) You saw me there across the street My scarf was plain to see And that is when you turned agressive Just because of me. You shouted words that stung my ears Intending to cause pain You hurled abuse and threatened me Because my faith was plain. But though your words were so severe I managed to stay calm For I just looked beyond your hatred At my own eemaan. And sure enough what I did feel Apart from pain inside Was that Allaah was with me there He was on MY side. And with that precious thought in mind I cared not what you said But I rejoiced at my Islaam And what was on my head. And when I think back to that time With smiles I'll share, not pain For faith and patience yields rewards That's what I hope to gain! [hr] Asalaam alaikum wrt wb, That was beautiful, alhumdullilah. It was a very moving poem. May Allah (SWT) give you and all are sisters and brothers the strength to continue to practice their faith. By the way may I forward this? If so who should I say the author is? Wasalaam, Arshad http://members.home.net/arshad [hr] From the Author: As-salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah wa barakaatuh Jakaakum Allaahu khairun for all your touching responses. I do prefer to remain anonymous but everyone is absolutely free to pass this poem on [and also "True Reflections" which, incidentally, was my mother who I was observing.] Wa salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah wa baraakatuh.

TRUE REFLECTIONS In silent prayer you raised your palms Your tidy hair, not bare Your gentle gaze kept low and still As I had watched you there... Your lips were moving all the while But not a sound I heard But still I knew that you were speaking Some great, noble words... Your back was arched, your limbs serene As you prayed on the floor And not an ounce of pride in that But humbleness I saw... A tear just fell, I couldn't help it Such a moving sight! A human soul engaged in worship It just looked so right... O chiefs and kings! You sit on thrones But not us servants, see We're honoured slaves of Ar-Rahmaan Submitting faithfully. We care not for your riches, wealth And neither tread your road We slaves but seek our Master's Pleasure In some great abode. We deem ourselves not self-sufficient But raise our empty hands And call upon One Kind, All-Hearing One Who understands. So live your life and we'll live ours Apart as night from day But leave me now to my sweet comfort When to Him I pray... |

| MY GRAVE WORRY... You tell me, "Don't worry" But what can I say? For is not the grave On your mind each day? My mind cannot settle At what I have done My eye finds no dryness At what is to come My heart-beat gets louder My skin jumps with fear At thoughts of that journey That could be so near For journey we all must To that darkened hole When Allaah decides To re-claim our soul... Dear reader! Awaken! You cannot be blind To what every mortal Will face at one time Yes! We will all die We'll all go in turns And enter that grave-plot Of darkness and worms... "REMEMBER THE DESTROYER OF PLEASURES - DEATH.." [Saying of the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhi wasallam. Tirmidhee] |
