| [slm] WHY WOMEN CRY.... A little boy asked his mother, "Why are you crying?" "Because I need to" she said. "I don't understand," he said. His Mom just hugged him and said, "And you never will." Later the little boy asked his father, "Why does mother seem to cry for no reason?" "All women cry for no reason," his dad answered carelessly The little boy , still wondering why women cry, finally asked the old wise shaikh. "He surely knows the answer", he thought. "Ya Shaikh! Why do women cry so easily?" He answered: "When Allah made the woman she had to be made so special. He made her shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. He gave her an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that comes from her children. He gave her a hardness that allows her to keep going when everyone else gives up, and take care of her family through sickness and fatigue without complaining. He gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child hurts her very badly. He gave her strength to carry her husband through his faults and fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart. He gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly. And lastly, He gave her a tear. This is hers and only hers exclusively to use whenever she needs it. She needs no reason, no explanation, its hers." "You see my son, the beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the beauty of her face, or the way she combs her hair.The beauty of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart - the place where love resides." The little boy got the answer and never asked the question again. :-* |

| [wlm] In defence of the men *come out of the closet guys we know you do it too...and I don't mean when you watch Hindi movies either :P*.... I think women are a special breed (and this ain't comin from no prejudice heh heh) but too often gentleness is potrayed as exclusively theirs (though more often than not it is because of a good reason..and this ain't comin from no prejudice either heh heh). I think that if the men guide their hearts by using the examples in Islamic literature, they will realise that tears are for them too. Think of Nabi Yusuf (AS), Nabi Nuh (AS) etc. I have seen grown men cry.....and they cry from the love they have deep in their hearts. *Raise a glass of Bebzi in toast* Here's to all those tears shed in repentance and love...be they from men or women for indeed tears cleanse the heart and make space for faith.

| [slm] I heard somewhere that when a man cries, it could mean one of 2 things......Either he is really hurting and his tears come from the heart or, he is very deceitful. ::) Don't know if that's true. p.s. no offence meant, brothers |

| Salaams, [quote]He gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly[/quote] Damn right, what will it be to soothe her heart? chocolate, coke or flowers. [quote]Yaa, and I notice that the majority of you peel onions while watching soppy Hindi love stories heh heh [/quote] Yuck, yuck yuck, awful. I prefer Lord of the Rings the two towers, Adams World by Soundvision or something by Bruce Lee. How can anyone watch someone dancing in a see through saree. You must be a wacko and have no respect for your wife to watch such filth. Salaams Hanif. A man who crys in his heart. |
