My Lover.

The Messenger PBUH has told us that closer to the Last Day, time will pass by faster and faster. A year will feel like a month, a month like a week, a week like a day and a day like an hour. Amazingly we feel this prophecy today where the day goes by like a few minutes and before we realize, the week is over and then the month and the year too. This is why we must ensure that we make the most of every valuable second at hand. When we are not focused and have no proper goals in life, we waste our days and weeks, months and years in achieving nothing meaningful. Let us set clear goals, focus on them, work hard towards achieving them and not give up. Bear in mind that although we may have many goals, our ultimate goal should be to please our  you .

Story 1

Once on journey to attend an important meeting with the elders of the city, the prophet (SAW) had found a boy crying because of the death of his pet bird, and instead of continuing his journey with the rest of his men, he stayed with the child for a long time to sooth him and offer his condolences.

Story 2

Narrated `A’ishah: The Prophet took a child in his lap and then the child urinated on him, so he asked for water and poured it over the place of the urine. (Bukhari)

 Embarrassed, the father sprang forward. 

“What have you done, you silly boy?” he shouted. 

He shoved his arm forward to grab the child away from Muhammad, his red face showing his anger. Fear and confusion showed in the face of the child. 

Muhammad restrained the man, and gently hugged the child to him.

 “Don’t worry,” he told the over-zealous father. “This is not a big issue. My clothes can be washed.

 But be careful with how you treat the child,” he continued.

 “What can restore his self-esteem after you have dealt with him in public like this?”

p/s:

Sometimes, in love you don't really need to meet your lover,

but the most important is how you can feel the love.

How come you can say that you love,
when you never try to show your love.
