Nasruddin used to stand in the street on market-days, to be pointed
out as an idiot. No matter how often people offered him a large and
asmall coin, he always chose the smaller piece.
One day a kindly man said to him:
- Nasruddin , you should take the bigger coin. Then you will have more
money and people will no longer be able to make a laughing stock of
you.
- That may be true, said Nasruddin , but if I alwaystake the larger,
people will stop offering me money to prove that I ammore idiotic than
they are. Then I would have no money at all.
As Nasruddin emerged form the mosque after prayers, a beggar sitting
on the street solicited alms. The following conversation followed:
- Are you extravagant? asked Nasruddin .
- Yes Nasruddin . replied the beggar.
- Do you like sitting around drinking coffee and smoking? asked Nasruddin .
- Yes. replied the beggar.
- I suppose you like to go to the baths everyday? asked Nasruddin .
- Yes. replied the beggar.
- ...And maybe amuse yourself, even, by drinking with friends? asked Nasruddin .
- Yes I like all those things. replied the beggar.
- Tut, Tut, said Nasruddin , and gave him a gold piece.
A few yards farther on. another beggar who hadoverheard the
conversation begged for alms also.
- Are you extravagant? asked Nasruddin .
- No, Nasruddin replied second beggar.
- Do you like sitting around drinking coffee and smoking? asked Nasruddin .
- No. replied second beggar.
- I suppose you like to go to the baths everyday? asked Nasruddin .
- No. replied second beggar.
- ...And maybe amuse yourself, even, by drinking with friends? asked Nasruddin .
- No, I want to only live meagerly and to pray. replied second beggar.
Whereupon the Nasruddin gave him a small copper coin.
- But why, wailed second beggar, do you give me, an economical and pious
man, a penny, when you give that extravagant fellow a sovereign?
Ah my friend, replied Nasruddin , his needs are greater than yours.

*- 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)./-
