Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.
During his battle with AIDS, one of his fans asked,
"Why does God have to select you for such a bad disease?"
Ashe replied,
"The world over — 50,000,000 children start playing tennis, 5,000,000 learn to play tennis, 500,000 learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5,000 reach the Grand Slam, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to the semifinals, 2 to the finals. When I was holding a cup, I never asked God 'Why me?'
And today in pain I should not be asking God, 'Why me?'"

Happiness keeps u sweet,
trials keep u strong,
sorrow keeps u human,
failure keeps u humble and 
success keeps u glowing.

A wise old gentleman retired and purchased a modest home near a junior high school. He spent the first few weeks of his retirement in peace and contentment. Then a new school year began. The very next afternoon three young boys, full of youthful, after-school enthusiasm, came down his street, beating merrily on every trash can they encountered. The crashing percussion continued day after day, until finally the wise old man decided it was time to take some action.

The next afternoon, he walked out to meet the young percussionists as they banged their way down the street. Stopping them, he said, "You kids are a lot of fun. I like to see you express your exuberance like that. In fact, I used to do the same thing when I was your age. Will you do me a favor? I'll give you each a dollar if you'll promise to come around every day and do your thing."

The kids were elated and continued to do a bang-up job on the trashcans.

After a few days, the old-timer greeted the kids again, but this time he had a sad smile on his face. "This recession's really putting a big dent in my income," he told them. "From now on, I'll only be able to pay you 50 cents to beat on the cans."

The noisemakers were obviously displeased, but they accepted his offer and continued their afternoon ruckus. A few days later, the wily retiree approached them again as they drummed their way down the street.

"Look," he said, "I haven't received my Social Security check yet, so I'm not going to be able to give you more than 25 cents. Will that be okay?"

"A freakin' quarter?" the drum leader exclaimed. "If you think we're going to waste our time, beating these cans around for a quarter, you're nuts! No way, dude. We quit!" And the old man enjoyed peace and serenity for the rest of his days.

Think about it!!! Life hereafter...

Why we came in this World

Who created us? We all know and even our children know Allah is our Creator.

But how much time we are giving to Allah.

How much we are obeying HIS orders.

At one day we will leave this world, when?

Now or after the age of 30, 40 50, 60, 70, 80 or maximum 100 years,

Almost half or more of our lives is gone

Not much time is left

At one day, we will die

Leaving all our lovers behind us crying

They will take us to graveyard

Bury us and leave us there

They will pay Fatiha for three days, weeks, months or years

Then they will be busy in their routine work

They will forget you

You will be there in grave alone

Facing two especial angles “ munkir nakeer”

They will ask you three questions

Question 1: Munn Rabbuka? Who is your Rub?

Question 2: Maa deenuka?  What is your Deen?

Question 3: Maa kunta taqaalu fi hajar rajul? What you used to say about the (prophet) in your life?

And then your next phase will start

If your answers are correct, you will be shown Heavens,

It will be you future place where you will live permanently

But if you fail to answer, then you will be in trouble

You will be shown Hell, your permanent residence

And you will be punished in grave till the Day of Judgment

Though we know answers are easy but

In grave those were not following ALLAH’s order will find

Difficult to answer

When you will be again wake up from grave,

People says how can we, our parents and our grand parents will wake up again from our graves,

Some one will say his relatives were died in air crash, some say they were burnt, they were drowned in river or sea, their bodies could not be recovered

Even their bodies are disseminated, bone are there or even the bones may not be there

How can they will wake,   BUT

Allah will make them again just like when He made them before

Is it difficult for HIM?

No, not at all………..

Then on the Day of Judgment, those who were on right way will be successful

Those who were wrong, will be looser, permanent losers

This is our destiny……………..

Just think your self, when you are alone

Where we are going?

What will happen to us after death?

We pray to Allah for HIS Mercy and ask forgiveness from HIM only. Because only ALLAH will answer our prayers. No one in this world can do this.

Allah is the only ONE who listens to our prayers.

Get this opportunity of this blessed month of Ramadan

And make Allah happy

So as our permanent life will be smooth

There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted so many physicians  and  was  not getting  his  treatment done. He did not stop consulting galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections. 
                                                                                       
But the ache persisted with great vigour than before. At last a monk who has supposed to  be  an  expert  in treating  such patients was called for by the millionaire. The monk  understood  his  problem  and said that for sometime he should concentrate only on green colours  and  not  to fall his eyes on any other colours.

The millionaire got together a group  of  painters  and purchased barrels of green color and directed that every object his eye was likely   to   fall   to   be   painted   in   green   colour   just   as  the  monk  had directed.                                                                               
                                                                                       
When   the   monk  came  to  visit  him  after  few  days,  the  millionaire's  servants ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress, lest their master not see any other colour and his eye ache would come back.                       
                                                                                   
Hearing  this  monk  laughed said 'If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles,  worth  just  a  few  rupees, you could have saved these walls and trees and pots and all other  articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune.
 
You cannot paint the  world green.' Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly. It is  foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves first.  
 
Lets change our vision..!!

THE DONKEY

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw.. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hatred - Forgive.

2. Free your mind from worries - Most never happens.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less from people but  more from God.

One evening an old man told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, 'My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all.. 

One is Evil. 

It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.  

The other is Good. 

It is joy, peace , love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.

 The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: 

'Which wolf wins?'

The grandfather simply replied,

'The one you feed.'
