Learn from this man, he is the best

When Mu'aawiyah ibn al-Hakam al-Salami came to Madeenah from the
desert, he did not know that it was forbidden to speak during the
salaah. He relates: "Whilst I was praying behind the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), a man sneezed, so
I said 'Yarhamuk Allaah (may Allaah have mercy on you).' The people
glared at me, so I said, 'May my mother lose me! What is wrong with
you that you are looking at me?' They began to slap their thighs with
their hands, and when I saw that they were indicating that I should be
quiet, I stoppedtalking (i.e., I nearly wanted to answer them back,
but I controlled myself and kept quiet).
When the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) had finished praying - may my father and mother be sacrificed for
him, I have never seena better teacher than him before or since - he
did not scold me or hit me or put me to shame. He just said, 'This
prayer should contain nothing of the speech of men; it is only tasbeeh
and takbeer and recitation of the Qur'aan.'"Source: Saheeh Muslim,
'Abd al-Baaqi edn., no. 537.
May Allah give us the beautiful qualities of Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

We are extremly rich, yet we don't know it! - detail at :- http://aydnajimudeen.blogspot.com/

Once a person came to a Shaikh (Islamic scholar) and complained to him
about his own poverty, saying that he was in great distress and would
prefer death to such a life.The Shaikh said to him,"Are you willing to
have your eyes taken out in exchange for ten thousand Dirhams (silver
coins)." He replied"Certainly not." The Shaikh said "Would you like to
have your tongue plucked out and get ten thousand Dirhams in return?"
The man said, "Ofcourse not." The Shaikh said, "Would you agree
tohaving both your hands and feet cut off in return for twenty
thousand Dirhams." The man said that he would not. The Shaikh asked
"Are you willing to be made a mad man and get ten thousand Dirhams in
return?" The man said that he was not willing. Atthis, the Shaikh said
to him, "Are you not ashamed of yourself? You admit that Allah Ta'ala
has granted you so many precious gifts, the value whereof, in your own
estimation, exceeds fifty thousand Dirhams (counting only a few
gifts,by way of illustration) andyet you complain of poverty!"

The value of the above mentioned gifts can be fully understood when
welose them. Let us be more thankful to our Lord.

The amazing feet - detail at :->http://aydnajimudeen.blogspot.com/

I have heard the following story from an Islamic Scholar. Hopefully,
it will be beneficial for all of us.
When a child is born, he or she usually gets some characteristics and
features from his or her parents or from other family members from the
past. For example, our eyes, ears, nose or some other organs of the
body may resemble that of our parents or forefathers. There was a
group of people in Arabia who had the knowledge of this particular
science, that is they could tell who the baby resembles. When Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) was still a baby, his
grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, took him to his lap and was greeting
those who came for Pilgrimage (Hajj). That specific group of people
was also present and while going around the Kabah they would stare
atthe feet of young ProphetMuhammad (SAW). After going around few
times, they came to Abdul Muttalib and said that they have never seen
any other baby whose feet resemble the feet of Prophet Ibrahim (AS).
Onlythe feet of young ProphetMuhammad (SAW) resemble them. The
footprint of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is preserved and placed beside
Kabah.
