Thanx bilal. We still want you to investigate the idea of virgins as bribe for doing good on earth. You must admit, whoever came up with it, it was a brilliant sales gimmick. Divine!

Jabir b. Abdullah reported that Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi asallam) happened to walk through the bazaar coming from the side of Aliya and people were on both sides of him. There he found a dead amb with very short ears. He took hold of its ear and said: ‘Who mongst you would like to have this for=2 0a dirham?’ They said: ‘We ould not like to have it even for less than that as it is of no use o us.’ He said: ‘Do you wish to have it (free of any cost)?’ They aid: ‘By Allah, even if it were alive (we would not have liked to ossess it), for there is defect in it, as its ear is very short; on op of that it is dead now.’ Thereupon, Rasul Allah (sal Allahu alaihi asallam) said: ‘By Allah, this world is more insignificant in the yes of Allah than (this dead lamb) is in your eyes.’” [Muslim] This hadith is a wonderful reminder of the insi gnificance of this orld; yet how much we fret for it. Our worries for the things of this orld should be more proportionate to their importance. We ask Allah subhana wa ta'ala) to give us eternity, never ending life. On top of hat we want it in a place better than we can possibly imagine. In it e expect to have youth for ever, no noise, nothing unpleasant, no orries. In this everlasting life, in Paradise, we also expect to get ore beautiful and enjoy more luxuries with each passing day, although fter the first day we cannot imagine that anything could be better. e expect never to be separated from our loved ones, or feel anything xcept positive emotions. In return for this, when Allah (subhana wa a'ala) asks us to obey Him for just 70-80 years, maybe a little more r a little less, we think it too much? He is asking you for a drop, hile you are asking Him for the ocean! This hadith also illustrates what an exceptional teacher Rasul Allah sal Allahu alaihi wasallam) was. We know what impact visual aids ave. The more theoretical the words, the less of an impact they have, he more the thoughts can be translated into visuals or experiential, he more lasting its impact. Now we have educationists teaching us to se the same techniques that were employed by Rasul Allah (sal Allahu laihi wasallam) as a teacher. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤A 4¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ o unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web nterface t: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l o contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ ������������������������D��������������������������������¤ To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] ���������������������������������������������������������¤ o unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web nterface t: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l o contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask] To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://listserv.icors.org/archives/gambia-l.html To Search in the Gambia-L archives, go to: http://listserv.icors.org/SCRIPTS/WA-ICORS.EXE?S1=gambia-l To contact the List Management, please send an e-mail to: [log in to unmask]
