story will be beneficial for everyone, Inshallah.
Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him. The man ran
to a tree, climbed onto it and sat on a branch.He looked down and saw
that the lion was still there waiting for him. The man then looked to
his side wherethe branch he was sitting on was attached to the tree
and saw that two rats were circling around and eating the branch. One
rat was black and the other one was white. The branch will fall on the
ground very soon. The man then looked below again with fear and
discoveredthat a big black snake had come and settled directly under
him. The snake opened its mouth right under the man so that he will
fall into it. The man then looked up to see if there was anything that
he could hold on to. He saw another branch with a honeycomb. Drops of
honey were falling from it. The man wanted to taste one of the drops.
So, he put his tongue out and tasted one of the falling drops of
honey. The honey was amazing in taste. So, he wanted to taste another
drop and then another and as a result, he got lost into the sweetness
of the honey. He forgot about the two rats eating his branch away, the
lion on the ground and the snake that is sitting right under him.
Suddenly when the branch broke he remembered all the dangers woke up
from his sleep.
Since this was an uniquedream, the man went to a pious scholar of
Islam to know its meaning. The scholar said "The lion you saw is your
death. It always chases you and goes where ever you go. The two rats,
one black and one white, are the night and the day. Black one is the
night and the white one is the day. They circle around, coming one
after another, to eat your time as they take you closer to death. The
big black snake with a dark mouth is your grave. It's there, just
waiting for you to fall into it. The honeycomb is this world and the
sweet drops of honey are the luxuries of this world. We like to taste
a little of the luxuries of this world and it's very sweet. Then we
want to taste little more and then more. Meanwhile, we get lost into
it and we forget about our time, we forget about our death and we
forgetabout our grave."
May Allah wake us up from the sleep and save us before it's too late. Ameen.

During a battle in the way of Allah (swt), sayyedina Ali, found
himself face to face with a kafir who attacked him violently. They
were both brave and powerful men, but the kafir was no match for
sayyedina Ali, who soon was sitting astride his chest, ready to finish
him off.
"I invite you to bear witness that there is no god except Allah, and
Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah," saidAli. "Accept Islam, and your
life will be spared."
"Never!" panted the kafir.
Sayyidina Ali lifted his sword and was just about to plunge it into
his enemy, when the kafir spat defiantly in hisface.
Much to the kafir's surprise, sayyidina Ali immediately jumped away
from his enemy and lowered his sword.
"Go away!" said sayyidina Ali, "I cannot kill you now."
"Why did you do that?" asked the kafir. "You could have killed me easily."
"I was fighting you purely in the way of Allah," replied Ali, "but
when you spat in my face, your insult made me angry and if I had
killed you in anger, it would have taken me to the Hell Fire - so I
had nochoice but to let you go. To kill someone in angeror out of
desire for revenge is not bravery, but the act of a coward."
On hearing this, the kafirwas so impressed by sayyidina Ali's
sincerity and self-control that he embraced Islam on the spot: "I bear
witness thatthere is no god but Allah," he said, "and I bear witness
that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"
May Allah give us sincerity and clean our hearts.
