Never put a limit on God. God is Great and All-Powerful, He can do everything easily. Do you know the story of Prophet Abraham when he was young and broke the statues people were worshipping and was thrown into a large, roaring fire as punishment and was in it for four hours and came out [...]

The Nail of Love
Posted in God, Love, tagged Crowd, Spoken For, Straight Way, The Nail of Love, True Believers on April 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
In this world, the True Believers are held in check by The Nail of Love of God. They can’t think to do other than what pleases Him – it’s not in their genetic material. They see others misbehave and recognize disobedience and dislike it, even abhor it, but always go on their straight way. Nothing [...]
The Pride of The Rose
Posted in Be Thankful, God, Motivation, tagged Pride, Religion, Roses, Thorns on April 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Roses were Given a good portion. Almost everyone loves to look at them, smell them, give them, receive them, – and those who know a sin will be erased by a prick of their thorns, love to get pricked by them. It’s no wonder they appear to stand tall and proud.
Pride is a negative [...]
A Little Sickness

I do so enjoy a good – but slight – sickness. A little discomfort is a big Blessing. Mostly because I know sickness erases sin and I can use a purifier, especially when it’s as simple as this last bout was. Also, I like chicken soup and love the dear friends who make it for [...]

When someone gives the poor a portion from their wealth much good accrues. First, of course, the receiver benefits and this can be by money, food, clothing, work or any other means. What the donor receives is at least as valuable and may be more.
There’s a man who owns a home surrounded by [...]
My Faults
Posted in Good Manners, tagged Faults, Judgements, Rumi on April 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Realizing my faults after I commit them is a very effective way for me to learn. Last week I shared a story with you from the great teacher Jalal Ad-Din Rumi. The moral of the story was not to judge someone else by your own experience, which many people do. I did fine on that [...]
War Story

One of my favorite war stories took place over 1400 years ago. The hero in this battle had the bad guy down and was about to kill him when witnesses to the event saw the hero let the other one go and walk off. A while later he returned, caught the same man and killed [...]
Can’t Stand The Heat?

If we can’t stand hot weather, how will be able to bear the fires of Hell? I think we can’t – not one of us. So what shall we do? Simple enough – avoid them by good behavior – or deny their existence. As for denial, that only works for a short period of time. [...]

More than 1000 years ago there was an extremely Blessed Knowledgeable Religious and Spiritual Knower of God who was Commanded to travel to Baghdad to spread His Word and help the people. Baghdad was then the Seat of Spiritual Knowledge and there were many Spiritual Guides there. When this Gentleman arrived the other Guides sent [...]
Ghost Town

I’m very grateful to be surrounded by plush grass, trees, beautiful and aromatic flowers and a fountain which makes a charming trickling sound. The birds and squirrels like it too. So how can I complain when I’m treated to a “concert” of lawn mowers, edge cutters and other garden tools? They’re needed and supplied by [...]
Windy Days

I love windy days – the winds are actually blowing in the good news of God’s Mercy. It’s pleasant to hear the wind chimes and see the curtains billowing at the windows and the tree’s leaves waving happily, as if they too know what the wind is doing. On windy days it’s easy to reflect [...]
