Reported by Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “He who utters ten times: ‘La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahulmulku wa lahulhamdu, wa Huwa ‘ala kulli sha’in Qadir (there is no true god except Allah. He is One and He has no partner with Him. His is the sovereignty and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent),’ he will have a reward equal to that for freeing four slaves from the progeny of Prophet Isma’il.” (Bukhari and Muslim)

Reported by Wabisah bin Ma’bad (RA): I went to Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and he asked me, “Have you come to inquire about piety?” I replied in the affirmative. Then he said, “Ask your heart regarding it. Piety is that which contents the soul and comforts the heart, and sin is that which causes doubts and perturbs the heart, even if people pronounce it lawful and give you verdicts on such matters again and again.” (Ahmad and Ad-Darmi)

Play Wise Play Fool..

There once lived a great mathematician in a village.

He was often called by the local king to advice on matters related to the economy.

His reputation had spread as far as Taxila in the North and Kanchi in the South.

So it hurt him very much when the village headman told him..

"You may be a great mathematician who advises the king on economic matters but your son does not know the value of gold or silver."

The mathematician called his son & asked..

"What is more valuable - gold or silver?"

"Gold," said the son.
That is correct.

Why is it then that the village headman makes fun of you,

Claims you do not know the value of gold or silver...?

He teases me every day.

He mocks me before other village elders as a father who neglects his son. 

This hurts me.
I feel everyone in the village is laughing behind my back because you do not know what is more valuable, gold or silver.

Explain this to me, son.

So the son of the mathematician told his father the reason why the village headman carried this impression.

Every day on my way to school, the village headman calls me to his house.

There, in front of all village elders,
he holds out a silver coin in one hand and a gold coin in other.

He asks me to pick up the more valuable coin.
I pick the silver coin.

He laughs, the elders jeer, everyone makes fun of me And then I go to school.

This happens every day.
That is why they tell you I do not know the value of gold or silver.

The father was confused.
His son knew the value of gold and silver, and yet when asked to choose between a gold coin and silver coin always picked the silver coin.

"Why don't you pick up the gold coin?"
he asked.

In response,
The son took the father to his room and showed him a box.

In the box were at least a hundred silver coins.
Turning to his father,
The mathematician's son said,
"The day I pick up the gold coin the game will stop.
They will stop having fun and I will stop making money.

Point to Learn from This:

Sometimes in life, we have to play the fool because our seniors and our peers, and sometimes even our juniors like it.

That does not mean we lose in the game of life.
It just means allowing others to win in one arena of the game, while we win in the other arena of the game.

We have to choose which arena matters to us and which arenas do not.

Great Lesson to Be Learnt from this.
(y)
The way to improve our management and utilization of time is to ask
ourselves at the end of every day, "How did I utilize the last 24
hours?" By assessing ourselves daily, we greatly improve our
utilization of time.
i think i shud start doing this:rolleyes:
