Islamic Stories, - The amazing feet

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 isthey could tell who the baby resembles. When Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessing be upon him) was still a baby, his
grandfather, Abdul Muttalib, took himto 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 at the feet
of young Prophet Muhammad (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 ofProphet Ibrahim (AS). Only the
feet of young Prophet Muhammad (SAW) resemble them. The footprint of
Prophet Ibrahim (AS) is preservedand placed beside Kabah. - -

••• HEART TOUCHING STORY •••

There was an old family that was financially stable, they earned
enough but lived in a simple, little hut. They didn't have proper
carpetjust bits and pieces of it here and there, no nice furniture nor
a big tele, just a simple little house with no luxurious stuff.
The people of the community who lived nearby used to visit this woman
that lived in this small hut and they wouldsee how run down her home
was and they talked amongst themselves in the community. "Have you
seen what dump they livein, it's a sham! they haven't even chairs to
sit on nor carpets. The wallpapers all peeling. What do they do with
themoney they earn? her husband has a high paid job!"
One day one of the woman's friends come to her house and they were
sitting chatting and the friend says 'Your husbands has a well payed
job so why don't you get this house done up?'
The woman replies 'We've got another houseso we use our money on that
instead because we don't see the point of spending it on here'.
The woman's friend is surprised and says 'Oh i didn't know you had
another house, where is this house?'
The woman replies 'In Jannah'
How often do we decorate our homes? InshALLAH let's do good actions
each day and slowly your house will bebuilt in bricks of gold
andsilver. The more good deeds you do your house will have planning
permission to grow :) Let's utilise our wealth and help the orphans,
the widows, the ill. Let's utilise our wealth to help build mosques.
May ALLAH grant us all beautiful homes in the hereafter, Aameenlife.
We should not think that we have killed our nafs and thus become
unmindful.

Fathwa, - Ruling on entering the bathroom with coins thatbear the name of Allaah the exalted

Question
Some currencies bear phrases like 'none is trulyworthy of worship but
Allaah'. Is it permissible for one to enter the bathroom carrying such
currencies in his pocket? Does the same ruling apply to pieces of
paper on which some verses of the Quran are written? Thank you .
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
Indeed, revering the Name of Allaah The Exalted is an aspect of
revering Allaah The Exalted Himself, and it is arespectful gesture is
not to enter an impure place such as the bathroom with what bears the
Name of Allaah The Exalted. Allaah The Exalted Says (what means): {
That [is so]. And whoever honors the symbols of Allaah – indeed, it is
from the piety of hearts. } [Quran 22:32]
Hence, it is impermissible to carry those coins or scraps of paper
that bear the Name of Allaah The Exalted along with you into the
bathroom unless you fear that they will be stolen or lost if you leave
them outside the bathroom. They should be put inside a pocket or
hidden. Furthermore, one can empty his pockets from all scraps ofpaper
which bear the name of Allaah The Exalted that are not needed except
for coins and money that is necessary.

Fathwa, - Siwaak is also used with false teeth

Question
Will a man who has false teeth be rewarded for using theSiwaak?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
Most of the scholars are of the view that using the Siwaak is a
confirmed act of the Sunnah. It should be usedat all times,
particularly on five occasions: before one prays, performs Wudhoo'
(ablution), recites the Quran, wakes up as well as when the mouth
smells bad. As evidence, 'Aa'ishah narrated that the Prophet , said: "
(Using) the Siwaak purifies the mouth and pleases The Lord. " [Ahmad
and An-Nasaa'i]
There is no doubt that this ruling includes those who have either
natural or false teeth. That is because the purpose of using the
Siwaak is to keep the mouth clean and free of any offensive odur.
Given that, false and natural teeth are the same in this respect.
