JazakAllah for sharing.THE DUCK AND THE DEVIL
Assalamoalaikum!!
I've got another story for u to read!!
if u've got to share something ...then why wait for a second thought...just post it Allah will reward u for that InshaAllah!!
Anyways today's story:
THE DUCK AND THE DEVIL
There was a little boy visiting his grandparents on their farm. He was given
a slingshot to play with out in the woods. He practiced in the woods, but he
could never hit the target. Getting a little discouraged, he headed back for
dinner.
As he was walking back he saw Grandma's pet duck. Just out of impulse, he
let the slingshot fly, hit the duck square in the head and killed it. He was
shocked and grieved! In a panic, he hid the dead duck in the wood pile, only to
see his sister watching!
Fatima had seen it all, but she said nothing. After lunch the next day
Grandma said, 'Fatima, let's wash the dishes.' But Fatima said, 'Grandma, Ahmed
told me he wanted to help in the kitchen.' Then she whispered to him, 'Remember
the duck?' So Ahmed did the dishes.
Later that day, Grandpa asked if the children wanted to go fishing and
Grandma said, 'I'm sorry but I need Fatima to help make supper.'
Fatima just smiled and said, 'Well, that's all right because Ahmed told me
he wanted to help.' She whispered again, 'Remember the duck?' So Fatima went
fishing and Ahmed stayed to help.
After several days of Ahmed doing both his chores and Fatima's, he finally
couldn't stand it any longer.
He came to Grandma and confessed that he had killed the duck. Grandma knelt
down, gave him a hug and said, 'Sweetheart, I know. You see, I was standing at
the window and I saw the whole thing, but because I love you, I forgave you. I
was just wondering how long you would let Fatima make a slave of you.'
Thought for the day and every day thereafter?
Whatever is in your past, whatever you have done... and the devil keeps
throwing it up in your face (lying, cheating, debt, fear, bad habits, hatred,
anger, bitterness, etc.)...whatever it is...You need to know that Allah was
standing at the window and He saw the whole thing. He has seen your whole life.
He wants you to know that He loves you and that you are forgiven.
He's just wondering how long you will let the devil make a slave of you.
The great thing about Allah is that when you ask for forgiveness, He not
only forgives you, but He forgets. It is by Allah's grace and mercy that we are
saved.
Go ahead and make a difference in someone's life today. Share this with a
friend and always remember: Allah is at the window!

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessing be upon him) observed: You shall not enter Paradise so long as you do not affirm belief (in all those things which are the articles of faith) and you will not believe as long as you do not love one another. Should I not direct you to a thing which, if you do, will foster love amongst you: (i. e.) give currency to (the practice of paying salutation to one another by saying) as-salamu alaikum.
