The Story of Layla and Majnun #1


Once, a chief of Bani Umar in the Arabian Peninsula have all sorts of people want, except for one thing, he had no child shall. Physicians in the village suggested a variety of herbs and drugs, but was unsuccessful. When all efforts seem fruitless, his wife suggested that they both kneel in front of God and sincerely ask God Almighty to give grace to them both. "
Why not?" Replied the chief. "We have tried many different ways. Let us try once again, had nothing to lose.

They kneel to God, in tears from the recesses of their wounded hearts. "O All Beloved, do not let our trees do not bear fruit. Let us taste the sweetness of a child cradled in our arms.

[The Hardships that Rasulullaah Experienced after the Death of his Uncle]

> Hadhrat Abdullaah bin Ja'far RA narrates that when Abu Taalib passed away, a fool from amongst the fools of the Quraysh approached Rasulullaah SAW and threw sand at him. When Rasulullaah SAW returned home, one of his daughters came to wipe the sand from his face and then began weeping. He said to her, "O beloved daughter...! Do not weep for Allaah shall protect your father." Amongst other things, he also said to her, "Until Abu Taalib passed away, the Quraysh dared not do anything unpleasant to me. Now they have started." (1)

>> Hadhrat Abu Hurayra RA had mentioned that when Abu Taalib passed away, the Quraysh started treating Rasulullaah SAW very harshly. Rasulullaah SAW then said, "O, my uncle! I am very quickly feeling your loss." (2)

Children Playing at Dusk



Childhood is a period play. After school they immediately pick up the tools of their game, and they began to play with their friends. They are so much fun to play, so they do not feel hungry and tired. 

It was only when there are calls from their parents who told them to go home for lunch, while they leave their game. After the meal, a game that was stopped will continue again. Until it was late afternoon when the sun began leaning to the west and it was getting late, they will completely abandon the tools of their game. Along with being called them by their parents to go back to their homes. 


That's the analogy of our lives in this world. Like a child who is engrossed in their game, we were having this very day with all our activities. So, sometimes we forget everything. And as the means of boys games, life in this world is not real life, just a game. It's just not true of life that will determine our fate in life is really in the hereafter. 


No matter how much fun we are with all daily activities, but when the 'evening has come' then inevitably we will all leave as well. Meet the call of the Almighty has us, to return to our true home. []

Hadhrat Sahl bin Sa'd Saa'idi ra narrates that Rasulullah saw said, "More than providing thoroughbred horses to be used in the path of Allah, 1 would love to rather attend the Fajr salaah and then sit to engage in the Dhikr of Allah swt  until sunrise." (1)
