wheelchair

rouhy and I are sitting side by side in a wheelchair
I am pushing the left wheel and she is pushing the right
together we make the chair go forward
teamwork
we even push it upstairs
we are climbing together due to our good teamwork
but the stairs start spiralling to the left - anticlockwise
if we both keep pushing our wheels at the same pace as we have been doing
we would crash into the wall
we need to adapt to the environment and situation
so I slow down my wheel while rouhy keeps pushing hers more
in this way we make the wheelchair turn left
and we keep climbing
teamwork
although it looks like rouhy is doing more work than I and I feel a bit guilty
we both realise that its due to the situation we are in
if I don't slow down my wheel then our chair wont turn and we wont be able to keep climbing
we are still working as hard as one another as a team
but in different ways
rouhy by pushing her wheel slightly harder
and I by pushing mine less
...in order to steer the chair and let us continue to climb

just like in life
sometimes we face a scenario which forces one partner to focus on a different type of task
like computer work or job applications
leaving the other to take up the slack in one area
while the other...doesn't just sit on his but and enjoy the ride,..but diverts their focus on another task
so that the family as a team can still benefit and rise

and individually we are incomplete (disabled)
but together we move forward and climb

phone call from allah swt

the adhan is like the phone call from allah swt

when you get an important phonecall you answer it immediately
if you don't, you don't think much of the person calling.

similarly when the adhan is calling us we should answer allah swt immediately by going to the mosque.

this is not our home

this dunya is not our home.  we are from elsewhere and we are just here visiting for a while.  don't get attached, we are returning home soon.

Example of life of this world

Water falls from sky and plants grow for animals to eat from them

Similarly

This dunya can help us to grow (spiritually, mentally, physically) like water does a plant... so that we can benefit others around us (charity, good deeds, etc) like animals eating us

Close knit family in blood and faith

The prophet SAAS married the daughter of Abu bakr r.a. and the daughter of Umar r.a. . Ali r.a. married the daughter of the prophet SAAS .  Uthman r.a. married his two elder daughters .

burping during salah

Although I have not come across anything regarding the rulings on burping during salah (i.e. if it is forbidden, disliked, etc) - I personally find it disgusting and off-putting.  The person who does so should be weary that they are standing before their Lord and it is the height of rudeness to burp in the face of someone you are talking to among humans, so shouldn't they have more shame when standing before their Lord? 

Narrated: Anas bin Malik
The Prophet saw some sputum in the direction of the Qibla (on the wall of the mosque) and he disliked that and the sign of disgust was apparent from his face. So he got up and scraped it off with his hand and said, "Whenever anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is speaking in private to his Lord or his Lord is between him and his Qibla. So, none of you should spit in the direction of the Qibla but one can spit to the left or under his foot." The Prophet then took the corner of his sheet and spat in it and folded it and said, "Or you can do like this. "

L-hassan and l-hussayn

I dreamt of the leaders of the children of paradise: L-Hassan and l-hussayn.  L-hussayn looked taller and thinner than L-Hassan. And both were beautifuly handsome
