A Couple Who Lost Their Only Son: The Moral Story


Must Read!!! 
A boy was born to a couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a Loving couple
and the boy was the gem  of their eyes. When the boy was around two years old, one
morning the husband saw a medicine bottle open. He was late for office so he asked
his wife to cap the bottle and keep it in the cupboard. His wife, preoccupied in the
kitchen totally forgot about the open medicine bottle.

The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to the bottle fascinated by its color and drank
 it all. It happened to be a poisonous medicine Meant for adults in small dosages. When
the child collapsed, mother hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother
was stunned. She was terrified how to face her husband.

When the distraught father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at his
wife and uttered just 5 words.

"I AM WITH YOU SWEETHEART" 

The husband's totally unexpected reaction is a proactive behavior. The Child is dead.
He can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother.
Besides, if only he had taken time to keep the bottle away, this would not have happened.

No one is to be blamed. She had already lost her only child. What she needed at that
moment was "consolation" and "sympathy" from the husband. That is what he gave her.
If everyone can look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be much fewer
problems in the world. "A journey of a thousand miles Begins with a single step.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unforgiveness, selfishness and fears. And you will
find things are actually not as difficult as you think.

Moral of the Story:
"SHUN BLAME GAME, SPREAD LOVE & RESPECT"

THE STATUS OF A WOMAN IN ISLAM: SIMPLIFIED & CONCEIVABLE

A non Muslim came to a Sheikh and asked: 
why is it not permissible in Islam for a woman to shake hands with a man?
SHEIKH replied; can you shake hands with Queen Elizabeth?
Non Muslim replied: of course not, there are only certain people who can shake her hands.
SHEIKH replied: our women are queens and queens do not shake hands with strange men.

Non Muslim: why do girls cover up their hair and body then?
The SHEIKH smiles and takes two pieces of candy. He opens one and leaves the other
closed, throws both of them on the dusty floor and asks the non Muslim: if asked you take
one of the sweets which one would you take?
Non Muslim: the closed one
SHEIKH: that's how we treat and see our women. Women should not be like the moon
so everyone can see and admire. They should be like the sun and make people lower their gaze.

Non Muslim: show me God if he exists?
SHEIKH: look at the sun!
Non Muslim: i can't see the rays hurt my eyes
SHEIKH: if you can't see the creation of god, how you going to see God?
Lastly the non Muslim invited the SHEIKH to his house and offered him grapes. The SHEIKH
then ate them an was then offered a glass of wine which he refused.

Non Muslim: how do you forbid wine but eat grapes when wine comes from grapes?
SHEIKH: do you have a daughter?
Non Muslim: yes
SHEIKH: could you marry her?
Non Muslim: no
SHEIKH: Subhan'Allah you marry her mother but can't marry her although she came from her mother!

Who To Choose For Marriage?

A woman is married for four reasons, for her religion, her property, her status, her beauty, so you should choose one with religion and character, Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported from Prophet Muhammad(PBUH).
[SAHIH MUSLIM 36:3458]
