It was the day of celebration and a day of rejoicing. There was an air
of festivity in the streets of Madinah. All the people, both young and
old were dressed in their best clothes, especially for this specialday
of Eid.
As it was time for early morning Eid prayers everyone made their way
to an open piece of land on the outskirts of the city. The Prophet
Muhammad (pbuh) arrived and led the prayers. After they had finished
they all greeted each other and everyonewas walking back home.The
children running and playing in excitement, smiling and laughing,
without a carein the world. As the Prophet (pbuh) walked back home, he
suddenly became aware of a little boy (Zuhair Bin Saghir) sitting by
himself on the side of the path. The little boy was crying and looked
very sad. The Prophet (pbuh) bent down and patted him onthe shoulders
and asked 'why are you crying?' 'Please leave me alone' sobbed the
little boy. The boy didn't even see who was talking to him. The
Prophet (pbuh) ran his fingers through the boy's hair and very gently
and kindly asked him again why he was crying. This time the boy said,
'My father was martyred fighting, and now my mother has married again
and my stepfather does not want me to live at home any more. Today is
Eid and everyone is happy. All the children have new clothes and nice
things to eat, but I don't have any clothes except what I am wearing.
I have no food and I don'teven have a place to live.'
The Prophet (pbuh) said to him, 'I know how you feel, I lost both my
mother and father whenI was a little boy.' The boy was surprised to
hear that it was an orphan who was comforting him, and when he looked
up to his great surprise it was the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), and he
immediately jumped up to his feet out of love and respect.
The Prophet (pbuh) said to him 'If I were to become your new fatherand
Ayesha you new mother, and Fatima yournew sister, would that make you
feel better?' 'Oh yes, that would be the best thing in the world!' The
boy started smiling. The Prophet took him home and gavehim new clothes
and good food on this beautiful day of Eid. The boy indeed had a
wonderful Eid that day.
We should think of others that are less fortunate than ourselveson
this beautiful day of Eid. Not everyone has such a wonderful day. It
is a day of celebration, but take a moment to stop and think of those
who are less fortunate than ourselves.

*- 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)./-
