Many people will walk in and out of your life,
but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.
To handle yourself, use your head;
To handle others, use your heart.
Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it's his fault;
if he betrays you twice, it's your fault.
Great minds discuss ideas;
Average minds discuss events;
Small minds discuss people.
God gives every bird it's food,
But He does not throw it into it's nest.
He who loses money, loses much;
He who loses a friend, loses more;
He who loses faith, loses all.
Beautiful young people are acts of nature,
But beautiful old people are works of art.
Learn from the mistakes of others.
You can't live long enough to make them all yourself.
The tongue weighs practically nothing,
But so few people can hold it.
Friends, you and me....
you brought another friend...
and then there were 3...
we started our group...
Our circle of friends...
and like that circle...
there is no beginning or end...

A LETTER FROM SATAN:
I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without stopping to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn't even bless your meals, or pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful, I like that about you. I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of living, Fool, you are mine.
Remember, you and I have been going steady for years, and I still don't love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you, because I hate God. I am only using you to get even with God. He kicked me out of heaven, and I'm going to use you as long as possible to pay him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store for you. But you have yielded your life to me and I'm going to make your life a living hell. That way we'll be together twice. This will really hurt God. Thanks to you.
I'm really showing Him who's boss in your life. With all of the good times we've had..... We have been watching dirty movies, cursing people, out partying, stealing, lying, being hypocritical, indulging in fornication, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, back stabbing people, disrespecting adults and those in leadership position, NO respect for the mosque, bad attitudes: SURELY you don't want to give all this up.
Come on, Fool, let's burn together forever. I've got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of appreciation from me to you. I'd like to say "THANKS" for letting me use you for most of your foolish life. You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give in HA HA HA, you make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on your life. You look 20 years older, I need new blood. So go ahead and teach some children how to sin.
All you have to do is smoke, drink alcoholic beverages, cheat, gamble, gossip, fornicate, and listen to and dance to the top 10 jams. Do all of this in the presence of children and they will do it too. Kids are like that. Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I'll be back in a couple of seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere, confess your sins, ask forgiveness from Him, live for God with what little bit of life that you have left. It's not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still sinning, it's becoming a bit ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I still hate you...... IT'S JUST THAT YOU'D MAKE A BETTER FOOL FOR GOD.

Anger
Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said,
‘Anger is from Shaitaan and Shaitaan has been
created from fire. Since water extinguishes fire, therefore,
when one of you is overtaken by anger let him make Wudhu’ (Abu Dawood).
In another narration it is mentioned,
‘The one who becomes angry while standing should sit down.
If his anger has still not cooled down, then he should lie down’. (Ahmad, Tirmidhi).
so plz brothers and sisters, try to control your anger!!.
u might say or even do something that you will regret later.
The message is more elaborately put forward in a Hadith of Nabi
(Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) where it is mentioned
‘He who can overpower others in wrestling is not really a strong man.
True strength is in that individual who can control himself at the time of anger’ (Bukhari).
and remember to ask allah for help, he the best to help!!!!!!

Only 3 questions
There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite a long
time.
When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious
scholar or any expert who could answer his 3 questions. Finally,
his parents were able to find a Muslim scholar.
Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions?
Scholar: I am one of Allah (SubHana Wa Ta`ala )'s slaves and
insha-Allah (God willing), I will be able to answer your
questions.
Young man : Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not
able to answer my questions.
Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah(SubHana Wa
Ta`ala).
Young Man: I have 3 questions
1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape.
2. What is takdir (fate)?
3. If shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why at the end he
will be thrown to hell that also created from fire. It
certainly will not hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and
the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far?
Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young man's face very hard.
Young Man (feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me?
Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three
questions.
Young Man: I really don't understand.
Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: Of course, I felt the pain.
Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists?
Young Man: Yes.
Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain!
Young Man: I cannot.
Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel God's existence
without being able to see His shape.
Scholar: Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me?
Young Man: No.
Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me,
today?
Young Man: No.
Scholar: That is takdir (fate).
Scholar: My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from?
Young Man: It is created from skin.
Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from?
Young Man: Skin.
scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you?
Young Man: In pain.
Scholar: Even though Shaitan (Devil) and also the hell were
created
from the fire, if Allah wants, insha-Allah (God willing), the hell
will become a very painful place for Shaitan (Devil).
SUBHAAN ALLAH!

The Boy & Apple Tree
A long time ago, there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it everyday. He climbed to the treetop, ate the apples, took a nap under the shadow …he loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him .
Time went by…the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day.
One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad.” Come and play with me” the tree asked the boy.” I am no longer a kid, I do not play around trees any more” the boy replied.
“ I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “ Sorry, but I do not have money…but you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples. The tree was sad
One day, the boy who now turned into a man returned and the tree was excited “Come and play with me” the tree said. “I do not have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help me?” “ Sorry, but I do not have any house. But you can chop off my branches to build your house.” So the man cut all the branches of the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the man never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad
One hot summer day, the man returned and the tree was delighted. ”Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” said the man. ”Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the man cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the man returned after many years. ”Sorry, my boy. But I do not have anything for you anymore .No more apples for you …”the tree said. ”No problem, I do not have any teeth to bite “the man replied.
”No more trunk for you to climb on” “I am too old for that now” the man said. ”I really cannot give you anything..the only thing left is my dying roots” the tree said with tears
”I do not need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years” the man replied. ”Good! Old tree roots are the best place to lean on and rest Come, come sit down with me and rest.”
The man sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears…
This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parents
When we were young, we loved to play with Mom and Dad..
When we grow up, we leave them…only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble.
No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they could to make you happy.
You may think the boy is cruel to the tree, but that is how all of us treat our parents
Please enlighten all your friends and your families by telling them this story, and ..
Love your parents

Its not saying, its just a story, a real story.
The Story
This is a real story happened between the customer of General Motors and its customer-care executive..
This complaint was received by the Pontiac Division of General Motors:
This is the second time I have written to you, and I don't blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of ice cream for dessert after dinner each night. But the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we've eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It's also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem. You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice cream, when I start back from the store my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I'm serious about this question, no matter how silly it sounds: "What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?"
The Pontiac President was understandably skeptical about the letter, but sent an engineer to check it out anyway. The latter was surprised to be greeted by a successful, obviously well educated man in a fine neighborhood.
He had arranged to meet the man just after dinner time, so the two hopped into the car and drove to the ice cream store. It was vanilla ice cream that night and, sure enough, after they came back to the car, it wouldn't start. The engineer returned for three more nights.
The first night, they got chocolate. The car started. The second night, he got strawberry. The car started. The third night he ordered vanilla. The car failed to start. Now the engineer, being a logical man, refused to believe that this man's car was allergic to vanilla ice cream.
He arranged, therefore, to continue his visits for as long as it took to solve the problem. And toward this end he began to take notes: he jotted down all sorts of data: time of day, type of gas uses, time to drive back and forth etc. In a short time, he had a clue: the man took less time to buy vanilla than any other flavor. Why? The answer was in the layout of the store. Vanilla, being the most popular flavor, was in a separate case at the front of the store for quick pickup. All the other flavors were kept in the back of the store at a different counter where it took considerably longer to check out the flavor. Now, the question for the engineer was why the car wouldn't start when it took less time.
Once time became problem - not the vanilla ice cream, the engineer quickly came up with the answer: "Vapor lock". It was happening every night; but the extra time taken to get the other flavors allowed the engine to cool down sufficiently to start.
When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot for the vapor lock to dissipate.
Lessons:
1. Even crazy looking problems are sometimes real and all problems seem to be simple only when we find the solution with a cool thinking.
2. Don't just say its "IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort .
Observe the word "IMPOSSIBLE" carefully. You can see "I'M POSSIBLE".
3. What really matters is your attitude and how you identify the problem and its root causes.
