Blind love

There was a blind guy who hated himself because of being blind.
He hated everyone except his girlfriend.
One day, the guy said that if he could only see the world, he would marry his girlfriend.
One lucky day, someone donated a pair of eyes to him!
Then he saw everything including his girlfriend....
His girlfriend then asked him,
Now that u can see, will you marry me?"
The guy was SHOCKED when he saw that his girlfriend was blind!!!..
He said, I am sorry but i can't marry you because u are blind.
His girlfriend walked away with tears...and said, "Please just take care of my eyes...."!!!

SALAMALEKOU FROM ABDOLRAHMAN MANSOOR

Dear Friend,

I am an average-aged young man of 40 years of age,an Indian of Iranian origin. I lived in Berut,Lebanon where I owned a flourishing currency trading company(Bureau de

Change),before the Israeli airstrike in Beirut that razed my office building to void and caused my business a tremendous setback after killing a few staff including Alas,my

wife and pretty daughter,
Nadia.

The reason iam contacting you is to find out if I can invest my money in your line of business,since It has become necessary and inevitable for me to diversify the scope of

my investment and leave beirut for a more stable business climate like your country; knowing that i can not guarantee the
security of life and property over there ,especially now that most of my creditors(i.e,people to whom i am indebted.)believe i was in the office the day my office complex was

razed down and so think i am dead by now.

Meanwhile i am still receiving treatment at the Intensive Care Unit of a Plastic Surgery Hoispital in London England where i was flown to by a >Doctor from Cyprus,( you

know all the victims were initially evacuated to Cyprus Greece). I did not want to be found among the casualties&survivors
back in Cyprus for obvious security reasons of the 19 million dollars in my Safe Deposit Box. I entrusted the money to a DIPLOMATIC SECURTY ORG.that will deliver the

consignment to any destination in your country without any hiccupps ,since the Diplomat can fly the money to your country without screening or the money being detected

by any currency detecting machine at your Local Airport ,because of the special packaging and the privileges,ie diplomatic imunity etc, he will be accorded at your local

airport when he arrives.

I may have to be in the hospital for some time now because of the burns,shock and possioble internal injury i sustained from the bomb blast.

Please let me know urgently if you can receive the consignment from the diplomat ,because he does not know that the box contains physical cash and not the gem

stones/Artefacts i declared to him .
So let me have your direct phone number so we can negotiate on the commensurate percentage of the total sum i shall give to you for assisting me to see this deal through

and to enable the Diplomat contact you and deliver the Safe Deposit Box to you as soon as he arrives.

I await your response .
Best regards.
MANSOOR ABDOLRAHMAN

This is a fake mail :( I hate this type of mails

Why do we have problems in our lives?

Allah Almighty is All-Knowing and All-Wise. He is also the Most Compassionate, and Most Merciful, without doubt. Yet, in His Ultimate Wisdom, Allaah afflicts His slaves from time to time with disasters and calamities, the reasons for which cannot, fully, be comprehended. And it is not befitting any of his creatures to question His Doings.

"He cannot be questioned for His acts, but they will be questioned (for theirs)".

However, some of the reasons may be as follows. And Allaah knows best.


1) Through calamities, Allah tests the Believers:
a)Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: We believe, - and will not be tested. And We indeed tested those who were before them. [al-Ankaboot:2]

b)Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, When (will come) the Help of Allah? Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near! [al-Baqarah:214]

2) Through calamities, Allah forgives sins and raises our status:
The Prophet (pbuh - peace be upon him) said: There is nothing that befalls a believer, not even a thorn that pricks him, but Allah will record one good deed for him and will remove one bad deed from him. (Muslim).

Also, he (pbuh) said: Trials will continue to befall the believing man and woman, with regard to themselves, their children and their wealth, until they meet Allah with no sin on them. (Tirmidhi- Saheeh)

3) Through calamities, Allah distinguishes between people:
By testing us, Allah filters the pure from the evil, the good from the bad, the true from the false, the believer from the hypocrite.

a)Allah will not leave the believers in the state in which you are now, until He distinguishes the wicked from the good [Aal Imraan:179]

b)And Allaah will certainly make known (the truth of) those who are true, and will certainly make known (the falsehood of) those who are liars, (although Allaah knows all that before putting them to test)

[al-Ankaboot:3]


4) Through disasters, Allah warns us & reminds us so we may return to Him:
This is one of the greatest reasons behind calamities and trials, that Allah warns us to correct our mistakes and mend our ways. If we do so, it is good only for us. If we dont pay heed, surely, only WE are the losers.

a)Verily, We sent (Messengers) to many nations before you (O Muhammad). And We seized them with extreme poverty and loss in health (with calamities) so that they might humble themselves (believe with humility).[Anaam :42]

b)See they not that they are put in trial once or twice every year (with different kinds of calamities, disease, famine)? Yet, they turn not in repentance, nor do they learn a lesson (from it) [al-Tawbah:126]

5) Calamities and disasters strike because of our sins:
And whatever of misfortune befalls you, it is because of what your hands have earned. And He pardons much [al-Shoora:30]

6) Disasters and calamities are a means of punishment:
And indeed, We destroyed generations before you when they did wrong, while their Messengers came to them with clear proofs, but they were not such as to believe! Thus do We requite the people who are Mujrimoon (criminals) [Yoonus:13]


7) If one is patient, they are also a means of great reward in the Hereafter:
The Prophet (pbuh) said: On the Day of Resurrection, when people who had suffered affliction are given their reward, those who were healthy will wish their skins had been cut to pieces with scissors when they were in the world (when they see the great REWARD for suffering) (Tirmidhi- Saheeh)

8) Disasters and calamities are reminders that the world is only temporary:
If the world were free of calamities, man would love it more and feel content with it, and would forget about the Hereafter. But calamities wake him up from his negligence and make him strive for the place (al-Jannah) in which there are NO calamities or trials.

9) Calamities and trials remind us that we are SO weak:
Problems and disasters are a sign of man's weakness and his need for his Lord. Man cannot succeed unless he realizes his need for his Lord and starts beseeching Him.

10) Worship during hard times has a special favor and a special reward.
The Prophet (pbuh) said: Worshipping at times of tribulation and confusion is like migrating to join me. (Muslim)

11) Calamities make a person appreciate the blessings he has from Allah:
Blessings that come after pain, hardship and calamity are more precious to people. So then they appreciate the blessings as they should be appreciated, and thank Allah.
If things are always easy, a person may forget all the blessing given to him By Allah and not be grateful for it, so Allaah tests him by taking some of them away , as a reminder to him to be grateful for it. And, only the one whose heart is open will feel this. Those who have no heart do not give thanks for the blessings of Allah, rather they are arrogant towards Allah and His creation.


12) When Muslims help those Muslims who have been afflicted by calamity, they will be rewarded for that.
The Prophet (pbuh) said: The likeness of the believers in their mutual love, mercy and compassion is that of the body; when one part of it suffers, the rest of the body joins it in staying awake and suffering fever. (Bukhaari, Muslim)

The Moral Lesson

كان لرجل أربع أبناء أراد أن يعلمهم درس رائع فى الحياة الا يحكموا على الامور بسرعة و لا تكن نظرتهم سطحية
things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look
لذلك أرسلهم الى مكان بعيد حيث توجد شجرة كبيرة و طلب من كل منهم أن يصف الشجرة له
at a pear tree that was a great distance away.
فذهب الابن الاكبر فى فصل الشتاء و ذهب الثانى فى الربيع و الثالث فى الصيف و الاصغر فى الخريف
The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in
summer, and the youngest son in the fall.
عندما عادوا من رحلتهم البعيدة جمعهم معا و طلب من كل منهم ان يصف ما رأه
When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe
what they had seen.
فقال الاول ان الشجرة كانت قبيحة و جافة بينما قال الثانى أنها كانت مورقة و خضراء
The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted.
The second son said no it was covered with green buds and full of promise.
و تعجب الابن الثالث قائلا انها مغطاة بورود ذات رائحة جميلة و تبدو غاية فى الروعة و الجمال
The third son disagreed; he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so
sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen.
و أنهى الابن الاصغر الكلام معلقا انها كانت مليئة بالثمار و الحياة
The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping
with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.
فشرح الاب مفسرا كلامهم جميعا انه صحيح لان كل منهم ذهب فى موسم مختلف
The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they
had each seen but only one season in the tree's life.
لذلك لا يجب ان تحكم على شجرة أو شخص فى موسم او موقف بعينه
He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season,
and that the essence of who they are and the pleasure, joy, and love that come
from that life can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.
لذلك اذا أستسلمت فى وقت الشتاء فستخسر كل جمال الربيع
والاحساس الرائع فى الصيف و الحياة المثمرة التى فى الخريف
If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring,
the beauty of your summer, the fulfillment of your fall.

Bang Bang - My Baby Shot Me Dow - Nancy Sinat

Album: Pickin' on Nancy Sinatra a Bluegrass Tribute
Title: Bang Bang
Authors: Cuba/Sabater


Lyrics:-
I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down.

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
"Remember when we used to play?"

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down.

Music played, and people sang
Just for me, the church bells rang.

Now he's gone, I don't know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn't even say goodbye
He didn't take the time to lie.

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down...

Does it need a reason ?!

Lady: Why do you like me..? Why do you love me?

Man: I can't tell the reason.. but I really like you..

Lady: You can't even tell me the reason... how can you say you like me? How
can you say you love me?

Man: I really don't know the reason, but I really love you.

Lady: No! I want you to tell me the reason. My friend's boyfriend can tell
her why he loves her but not you!

Man: Ok.. ok!!! Because you are beautiful, because your voice is sweet,
because you are caring, because you are loving, because you are thoughtful,
because of your smile, because of your every movements..

Unfortunately, a few days later, the Lady met with a serious accident
resulting in permanent injuries. The Guy then placed a letter by her side,
and here is the
content:


Dearest,

Because of your sweet voice that I love you...Now can you talk? No!
Therefore I cannot love you. Because of your care and concern that I like
you.. Now that you cannot show them, therefore I cannot love you. Because of
your smile, because of your every movements that I love you.. Now can you
smile? Now can you move? No,
therefore I cannot love you. If love needs a reason, like now , there is no
reason for me to love you anymore.

Does love need a reason? Never ! Therefore, I still love you. and will love
u forever !
