1. Telling the Truth Telling the truth is a very good habit. If you always speak the truth, you can save yourself from a lot of trouble! Here is a story of a man who did a lot of bad things, but his promise to tell the truth saved him. Once a man came to the prophet Muhammad (S) and said, "Oh prophet of Allah, I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first?" The prophet said, "Give up telling lies first and always speak the truth." The man promised to do so and went home. At night the man was about to go out to steal. Before setting out, he thought for a moment about the promise he made with the prophet. "If tomorrow the prophet asks me where have I been, what shall I say? Shall I say that I went out stealing? No, I cannot say that. But nor can I lie. If I tell the truth, everyone will start hating me and call me a thief. I would be punished for stealing." So the man decided not to steal that night, and gave up this bad habit. Next day, he felt like drinking wine, when he was about to do so, he said to himself, "What shall I say to the prophet if he asks me what did I do during the day? I cannot tell a lie, and if I speak the truth people will hate me, because a Muslim is not allowed to drink wine." And so he gave up the idea of drinking wine. In this way, whenever the man thought of doing something bad, he remembered his promise to tell the truth at all times. One by one, he gave up all his bad habits and became a good Muslim and a very good person. If you always speak the truth, you can be a good person, a good Muslim whom Allah likes and favors. If Allah - our Creator - is pleased with us, He will reward us with HEAVEN, which is a place of happiness and joy. MAKE A PROMISE: I SHALL ALWAYS SPEAK THE TRUTH.

Reward for Helping Others Ibn Abbas narrated, Once I was in a state of itikaaf in the Prophet's Mosque (Medina). A certain person came to me and sat down. I said to him, 'O so and so, you look sad'. He said, 'Yes of course, o fraternal brother of the Prophet. So-and-so has his due on me, and by the one who lies in eternal peace in the grave (i.e. Prophet Muhammad), I am not able to pay the debt' I said, 'Should I not talk to him about your debt?' He said, 'You can do so if you like' There upon I put my shoes on and went out of the mosque. The person asked him, 'Have you forgotten the state you were in (i.e. itikaaf)?' I replied, 'Not at all, but I have heard rom the one who lies in eternal peace in the grave [saying this his eyes became filled with tears], said: "One who moves to fulfill any need of his brother, and makes effort for it, will find it better than itikaaf of ten years; and one who performs itikaaf for one day for the pleasure of Allah, he will create a distance of three ditches between him and the hell - and each ditch has a width which lies between East and West, or between the heaven and earth."

But there are billions for whom it is a matter of daily life. Let us get immense rewards by helping our needy brothers and sisters around the world during this month of generosity.

SubhanALLAH Brother JazakALLAH for sharing May ALLAH reward you for all your efforts Amen Summa Ameen

The hardships that befall you atone for your sins.

Your malice and your striving to seek revenge are much more harmful to your health than they are your antagonist.

Don't spread rumours and don't listen to them. If you hear a rumour inadvertently, then don't believe it.

Work hard at something that is productive, and cast off idleness.

You should constantly repeat those supplications that the Prophet taught us to say during times of hardship.

When Allah loves people, He makes them endure trials.

Look at those who are afflicted and be thankful.

Most evil that is supposed to happen never occurs.

Do not be angry...Do not be angry...Do not be angry.

Indeed, your Lord is Oft-Forgiving.

Do not let trifles be the cause of your destruction.

Indeed, with each difficulty there is relief.

Calamities should strengthen your heart and reshape your outlook in a positive sense

In both times of hardship and ease, one should turn to supplication and prayer.

Relief comes from one hour to the next.

You are better off that many others.

Everything that is decreed for the Muslim is best for him.

Perhaps what has happened is in your best interest (though you may not comprehend that is so).
