The Butterfly

A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day a small opening appeared.
He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could, and it could go no
further.
So the man decided to help the butterfly. He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But it had a swollen body and small, shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened!
In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shriveled wings. It never was able to fly.
What the man, in his kindness and haste, did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to get through the tiny opening were Allah’s(God’s) way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If Allah allowed us to go through our lives without any obstacles, it would cripple us. We would not be as strong as what we could have been.
We could never fly!

human desire has no limits. the prophet said.if human being has tow rivers of gold he will never be satisfied and he will ask fot*r third river and so on.
it is said ther was a cmpanion named tha.alaba (some says this story is not correct)asked the prophet mohammed (pbuh)to ask God to make tha.alaba very rich.the prophet said to him it would be very difficult to be rich.but tha.alaba insisted.and the prophet asked God to make tha.alaba rich.
after short time .tha.alaba became very rich.the prophet noticed that tha.alaba is absent from time to time to come to the mosque.then tha.alaba comes just jumoa.prayer.after certain time the prophet asked some companions to go to tha.alaba to take zakat but tha.alaba refused.
this shows the limitless desire of man.

the second story teaches us the meaing of (ihsan)that means to give better than to take
abdallah ibn almobarek was very generouse.he asked some of his friends to perform peligrimage togather with a conditione to be their amire. .so the voyage with him to alhadj was very amusing and at the end he gave back every one of his friend his money.
life surely would have another meaning when we teach us to give rather than to take
it is a little bit difficult.

Salam Alaikum brother,

I believe the story of Thaâlabe is true. An Imam told me about it.
The story of this guy is a good explanation of the greed of human beings:)...Thanks for the reminder.

The Three Dolls

A sage presented a prince with a set of three small dolls. The prince was not amused.
“Am I a girl that you give me dolls?” he asked.
“This is a gift for a future king,” said the man. “If you look carefully, you’ll see a hole in the ear of each doll.”
“So?”
The sage handed him a piece of string.
“Pass it through each doll,” he said.
Intrigued, the prince picked up the first doll and put the string into the ear.
It came out from the other ear.
“This is one type of person,” said the man. “Whatever you tell him, comes out from the other ear. He doesn’t retain anything.”
The prince put the string into the second doll. It came out from the mouth.
“This is the second type of person,” said the man. “Whatever you tell him, he tells everybody else.”
The prince picked up the third doll and repeated the process. The string did not reappear from anywhere else.
“This is the third type of person,” said the man. “Whatever you tell him is locked up within him. It never comes out.”
“What is the best type of person?” asked the prince.
The man handed him a fourth doll, in answer.
When the prince put the string into the doll, it came out from the other ear.
“Do it again,” said the sage. The prince repeated the process. This time the string came out from the mouth. When he put the string in a third time, it did not come out at all.
“This is the best type of person,” said the sage. “To be trustworthy, a man must know when not to listen, when to remain silent and when to speak out.”

very useful story.this shows how to deal carefully with people .they are different and our behaviour with them must be different.as it is said.some people are like air you need them always.some people like food you need them some times.some people like desease you must get away from them.
also some people are very intelligentthey listen to you carefully.other are so sleepy whatever you say it is meaningless for them.some keep secrets.others like broken cup couldn.t keepany thing.
such is life.
i want to participate here just to improve my english so excuse me.
thanks a lot.

thank you alot brother

Abu Salah and Laraa,
You are welcome:)

Scab and Abscess

An elephant was led to a well to drink. Seeing itself in the water, it shied away. It thought it was shying away from another elephant. It did not realize it was shying away from its own self.
All evil qualities—oppression, hatred, envy, greed, mercilessness, pride—when they are within yourself, they bring no pain. When you see them in another, then you shy away and feel the pain. We feel no disgust at our own scab and abscess. We will dip our infected hand into our food and lick our fingers without turning in the least bit squeamish. But if we see a tiny abscess or half a scratch on another’s hand, we shy away from that person’s food and have no stomach for it whatsoever. Evil qualities are just like scabs and abscesses; when they are within us they cause no pain, but when we see them even to a small degree in another, then we feel pain and disgust.
Just as you shy away from your brother or sister, so you should excuse them for shying away from you. The pain you feel comes from those faults, and they see the same faults. The seeker of truth is a mirror for their neighbors. But those who cannot feel the sting of truth are not mirrors to anyone but themselves.
