A scholar of language and grammar undertook a journey. A river had to
be crossed. As was the custom in those days, thescholar hired the boat
of a waiting ferryman who took people across the river.
During the journey, the scholar asked the ferryman, with obvious pride
and mockery, if he knew anything about grammar and the rules
oflanguage.
The ferryman simply replied, "I don't."
"Alas!" retorted the rude scholar of grammar, "Youhave wasted half of
your life."
At this, the sailor was terribly hurt and aggrieved. But he kept
quiet. Suddenly the boat was extremely nervous inthe high waves and
gushing water. "Do you know how to swim, learned Sir?" asked the
sailor.
"No!" said the scholar.
The ferryman remarked, "Alas! You have wasted your whole life for the
boat is sure to capsize in a few minutes."
Moral: Knowledge in one branch is not enough to be proud about.

*- 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)./-
