Hamesha & Forever...

Hum hanse toh hansa
Haule se tera sara jahaan
Tu agar hai yahaan
Toh hai yeh agan bhi gulistaan



Pyaar main de na paaya utna tujhe
Jitna tera haqq tha
Thi yeh khata par hoti gayi
Mera kahaan mujh pe bas tha


Aansun tere ban jaayein mere
Kaise banoon teri ab dawa



Yaad mein itna rakhna ke na hon faasle
Rehna lag ke tum gale

Batla doongi main raasta
Jab hongi raaste mein mushkilein



Akhiyon se keh do roye na
Inn aankhon mein bas khushiyan hi khilein



Hamesha & forever
Jab tak saanson ka saath hai
Hamesha & forever
Jab tak taaron ki raat hai

Hamesha & forever
Tab tak teri hi baat hai
Hamesha & forever
Dil mein tu





Whenever I laughed,
Your whole world laughed
If you are here,
Even this fire is garden

I couldn't give you as much is your right In love
It was a mistake,
but still it happened
For I had no control over myself

Your tears should be mine
How can I become a remedy for you?

Keep me in your memories such that there is no distance
Remain in my embrace
I shall guide you
Whenever there will be difficulties on the path

Ask the eyes not to cry
Only happiness should blossom in these eyes

Forever,
As long as I have company of my breath
Forever,
As long as there is starry night

Forever,
Till then,
your talk
And you will be in my heart

Beautiful Story (10)...Maymunah as-Sawda'

Name: Maymunah as-Sawda'
Status: Successor (Tabi'iyyah)
Location: Kufah , Iraq

al-Fudayl bin 'Iyad narrated:
'Abdul-Wahid bin Zayd said: "I asked Allah - the Mighty and Majestic - for three nights in a row to show me my future companion in Paradise in a dream, so in my dream, I heard a caller saying: "O 'Abdul-Wahid! Your companion in Paradise is Maymunah as-Sawda'." So, I asked: "And where is she now?" The voice replied: "She is among such-and-such a tribe in Kufah."
So, I went out to Kufah and asked about her, so I was told: "She is among us, and she takes care of the livestock." So, I said: "I wish to see her." I was taken to the place where she was, and found her standing in prayer with a walking stick to support her. She was wearing a wool cloak, with a sign written on it that said: "Not to be bought or sold." ِAlso, the sheep that she was supposed to be caring for were surrounded by wolves. However, the wolves were not trying to attack the sheep, and the sheep were not afraid of the wolves.
When she saw me, she ended her prayer and said to me: "Go back, Ibn Zayd. Our meeting place is not here. Rather, it is later on (in the Hereafter)."
I said to her: "May Allah have Mercy upon you! Who told you that I am Ibn Zayd?"
She said: "I know that the souls are like a unified army, so the souls that go together are one, and the souls that differ from each other are divided."
I said to her: "Advise me."
She said: "Strange! An admonisher who wishes to be admonished? O Ibn Zayd, it has been related to me that a servant is not given anything of this worldly life and wished for more of it, except that Allah ceases to allow that servant to love Him and desire Him, and He exchanges the closeness that he had with Him for distance..." Then she recited:
O admonisher! The accounting has begun * To drive the people away from sin
You forbid others while you are the one who is truly ill * This is indeed a strange evil
If you had rectified yourself beforehand * Your mistakes and repented recently
Then - my dear - what you you said * Would have had a position of truth in the heart
You warn against temptation and excess * While you yourself are in a state of doubt"
I then said to her: "I see these wolves with the sheep, but the sheep do not run away from the wolves, and the wolves do not try to eat the sheep! What is this?"
She said: "This is a sign to you from me: since I made peace between my Master and I, He made peace between the wolves and the sheep."

Beautiful Story (9)...The Pious Man and The Shopkeeper

There lived a pious man all by himself, who spent most of his time in praying, fasting and praising Allah. Almost all his waking hours were utilised in meditation and devotions. He was very happy with his spiritual progress. No wicked thoughts came to his mind and no evil temptations entered his heart.

One night, he dreamt a rather disturbing dream. He saw that a shopkeeper in the town was far superior to him in spirituality and that he must go to him to learn the basics of true spiritual life.

In the morning, the pious man went in search of the shopkeeper. He found him busy with his customers, selling goods and collecting money with a cheerful face. He sat there in a corner of the shop and watched the shopkeeper carefully. No signs of any spiritual life at all, he said to himself. His dream could not be true. But then he saw the shopkeeper disappear to pray his Salah. When he returned, he was busy dealing with money matters again.

The shopkeeper noticed the pious man sitting in the corner and asked: "As Salamu Alaikum, would you like something, brother?"

"Wa Alaikum As Salam. Oh! No! No!" said the pious man. "I don't want to buy anything, but I want to ask you a question." He then related his dream.

"Well, that is very simple to explain," said the shopkeeper, "but you will have to do something for me before I answer your question."

"I will do anything for you," replied the pious man.

"All right! Take this saucer; there is some mercury in it. Go to the other end of the street and come back fast within half an hour. If the mercury falls out of the saucer, you will hear nothing from me. There you go now."

The pious man took the saucer and started running. The mercury nearly wobbled out of the saucer. He saved it just in time, and slowed down. Then he remembered he had to return within half an hour, so he started walking at a fast pace. At long last he returned puffing and panting. "Here is your mercury, safe and sound," he told the shopkeeper. "Now tell me the true interpretation of my dream."

The shopkeeper looked at the pious man's weary condition and asked him: "Well, friend, how many times did you remember Allah while you were going from this end of the street to the other?"

"Remember Allah!" exclaimed the pious man. "I did not remember Him at all. I was so worried about the mercury in the saucer."

"But I do remember Him all the time," said the shopkeeper. "When I am doing my business, I am also carrying mercury in a saucer. I am fair, honest and kind to my customers. I never forget Allah Ta'ala in my dealings with other men."

"Men whom neither trade nor sale (business) diverts from the remembrance of Allaah (with heart and tongue) nor from performing As‑Salaah (Iqaamat‑as‑Salaah) nor from giving the Zakaah. They fear a Day when hearts and eyes will be overturned (out of the horror of the torment of the Day of Resurrection). That Allaah may reward them according to the best of their deeds, and add even more for them out of His Grace. And Allaah provides without measure to whom He wills" [Al Quran, Surah an-Noor 24:37-38]

Beautiful Story (8)...Better to Give

A young man, a student in one of the universities, was one day taking a walk with a Professor, who was commonly called the student's friend, from his kindness to those who waited on his instructions. As they went along,they saw lying in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by,and who had nearly finished his day's work. 


The student turned to the professor, saying: "Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and conceal ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his perplexity when he cannot find them." "My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of this poor man. Put a coin in each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how this affects him." The student did so and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. 


The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, but feeling something hard, he stooped down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his countenance. He gazed upon the coin, turned it around, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and proceeded to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him; he fell upon his knees, looked up to the heavens and uttered aloud a fervent thanksgiving in which he spoke of his wife who was sick and helpless, and his children without bread, whom this timely bounty, from some unknown hand,would save from perishing. 


The student stood there deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears. "Now," said the professor, are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?" The youth replied, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understood before: "It's more blessed to give than to receive."                                                               


Abdullah bin Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sallAllahu alaiyhi wassallam) said that encouraging good, prohibiting evil, lifting the burden of the weak person and removing an offensive thing from a path are all acceptable prayers to Allah. [ibn Majah]

Beautiful Story (7)...Story of the Empty House

There was an old family that was financially stable, they earned enough but lived in a simple, little hut. They didn't have proper carpet just bits and pieces of it here and there, no nice furniture nor a big tele, just a simple little house with no luxurious stuff.

The people of the community who lived nearby used to visit this woman that lived in this small hut and they would see how run down her home was and they talked amongst themselves in the community. "Have you seen what dump they live in, it's a sham! they haven't even chairs to sit on nor carpets. The wallpapers all peeling. What do they do with the money they earn? her husband has a high paid job!"

One day one of the woman's friends come to her house and they were sitting chatting and the friend says 'Your husbands has a well payed job so why don't you get this house done up?'

The woman replies 'We've got another house so we use our money on that instead because we don't see the point of spending it on here'.
The woman's friend is surprised and says 'Oh i didn't know you had another house, where is this house?'

The woman replies 'In Jannah'

How often do we decorate our homes? InshALLAH let's do good actions each day and slowly your house will be built in bricks of gold and silver. The more good deeds you do your house will have planning permission to grow :) Let's utilise our wealth and help the orphans, the widows, the ill. Let's utilise our wealth to help build mosques.

May ALLAH grant us all beautiful homes in the hereafter, Aameen
