AYYAZ BREAKS THE PRECIOUS JEWEL

-


 

Sultan Mahmoud had a servant whose name was Ayyaz and was well known for his good manners and wisdom. Once, Sultan Mahmoud was holding a precious jewel in his hand while sitting with his ministers. He told one of the ministers to break the jewel. Since the jewel was very expensive, the minister refused to break it. Then the Sultan told another minister to break it. He also denied to break the jewel. One by one all the ministers refused to break the precious Jewel due to its great value. Now, Sultan Mahmoud passed the jewel to Ayyaz and told him to break it. Ayyaz immediately took the stone to his hand and threw it hard on the floor. The jewel scattered into pieces. The Sultan asked Ayyaz why he broke the jewel while others denied to do so. Ayyaz said "The jewel is valuable, but your order is more valuable."

“We should learn from this story that even if the things of this world are very precious and valuable, the orders of Allah are more valuable. So, we should follow them.”

  Is it difficult for you being the bread winner of your Family? Read this and get something to do. Why you should start a business today? There are many reasons why we should all start a business today! You see now a days, being the bread winner of your family is not easy. Everyone in the family is expecting something from you.

  SHOULD YOU STOP WORKING YOUR 8 TO 6 JOB? It depends on your current status in life, what you are doing and maybe what you have. Starting a business aside your 8 to 8 job maybe tiring. Getting your business to the next level may need all your attention and focus which calls to you leaving your 8 to 8 job. I personally don’t support the idea of leaving your 8 to 8 job but sometimes you have to. You will have to sacrifice all you have for that idea or dream. So it’s always up to you to choose, either to stop the 8 to eight job or continue with it. Sit down and think critically, examine yourself and making sure everything is in place. I pray to the most high to help anybody going through such problem and help him or her arrive an answer which will help him or her succeed.   ABDULLAI DEDE ISSAH

Recommending Marriage At An Early Age

Question: Your Eminence, what is your opinion regarding marriage for a youth who is a still a university student but who is also capable of taking such a step? Will this (negatively) affect his educational progress?  Answer: I recommend marriage at an early age, for it does not have any negative influence on one's studies. Since the lifetime of the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم), the Salaf (righteous predecessors) used to get married while pursuing their studies. Indeed, marriage helps a person to do good deeds and it does not lead students to neglect their lessons. Rather, it helps them lower their gaze, feel contented, have a clear conscience, and refrain from all that Allah has prohibited. If marriage is feasible, I advise everyone to get married, to fear Allah in this regard, and to act according to the following Hadith, “O group of youth! Whoever among you who has the means should get married, for it helps them lower their gaze and guard their modesty.”  [Majmoo ’al-Fataawa...
