Once a king purchased 2 slaves. One of them was very handsome while
the other was very ugly.
The king asked the handsome slave to go and take a bath. While he was
away the king turned to the other slaveand said "Your companion has
given a very bad account of you,he said that you are a thief and of
bad character. Is this correct?"
The slave replied that hiscompanion was a handsome person, and his
exterior beauty must be reflected by inward beauty as well. He could
not believe that such a beautiful man could tell a lie. He therefore
said"If my companion has a bad opinion about me, there must certainly
be something wrong with me. I am afraid he must be correct."
The king observed that beauty was only an Allahgiven gift, and it did
not follow that a person who had a handsome face had a pure heart as
well.
The king was greatly impressed with the character and intelligence of
this slave.In the meantime, the first slave had returned from his
bath.
The king sent the secondslave (i.e. the ugly slave to have a bath) and
in his absence told the handsome slave that his fellow slave had given
a bad account of him. On hearing this, the slave burst into invectives
against his companion and said that he was a rascal and a liar.
The king thus came to the conclusion that the slave with a beautiful
face had no inner worth while the slave with an ugly face had much
inner worth.
The moral of the story is that beauty is only skin deep. All that
glitters is not gold. "Every man is hidden under his own tongue" The
tongue reveals the inner intelligence as well as inner vileness . "The
safety of a man lies in holding his tongue"
Rasulullaah (s.a.w.s) said:" He who is silent is successful!"

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
