A Return is Requested... .You'll see why.

This is another heart touching story I received via an email. pls read it and understand how impotent our thoughts are.

 
Breakfast at McDonald's

 

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end! (After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college  degree.

The last  class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher  was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human  being had been graced with. 

Her last  project of the term was called, 'Smile.'

The class was  asked to go out and smile at three people and document their  reactions.

I am a very  friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I  thought this would be a piece of cake,

literally.

Soon after we  were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to  McDonald's one crisp March morning.

It was just  our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were  standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone  around us began to back away, and then

  even my  husband did.

I did not  move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me  as I turned to see why they had moved.

As I turned  around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing  behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looked  down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was  'smiling'

His beautiful  sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for  acceptance.

He said,  'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been  clutching.

The second  man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the  second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his  salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there  with them.

The young lady at the counter  asked him what they wanted.

He said, 'Coffee is all Miss'  because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the  restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be  warm).

Then I really felt it - the  compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man  with the blue eyes.

That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action.

I smiled and asked the young lady  behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate  tray.

I then walked around the corner to  the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on  the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold  hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in  his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'

I leaned over, began to pat his  hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through  me to give you hope.'

I started to cry as I walked away  to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and  said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me  hope..'

We held hands for a moment and at  that time, we knew that only because of the Grace that we had been given  were we able to give.

We are not church goers, but we  are believers.

That day showed me the pure Light  of God's sweet love.

I returned to college, on the last  evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in 'my project' and the  instructor read it.

Then she looked up at me and said,  'Can I share this?'

I slowly nodded as she got the  attention of the class.

She began to read and that is when  I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to  heal people and to be healed.

In my own way I had touched the  people at McDonald's, my son,the instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a  college student.

I graduated with one of the  biggest lessons I would ever learn:

UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE.

Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to


LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS -

NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

There is an Angel sent to watch over you.

In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over.

Why Pig Fat is not mentioned but insted E-code(s) are printed??

Assalamu Alikum my dear readers, this is another email I've received from another my good friend. At the end of the mail I was asked to forward it to as many Muslims as possible. So I decided to forward it and as well as publish it in my blog. Hope some Muslim brother or sisters or a vegetarian reader would benefit from this.  

This article was written by Dr. M. Amjad Khan

In nearly all the western countries including Europe, the PRIMARY
choice for meat is PIG. There are a lot of farms in these countries to A
breed this animal. In France alone, Pig Farms account for more than
42,000.

PIGS have the highest quantity of FAT in their body than any other
animal. But Europeans and Americans try to avoid fats.

Thus, where does the FAT from these PIGS go? All pigs are cut
inslaughter houses under the control of the department of food and it
was the headache of the department of food to dispose of the fat
removed from these pigs..

Formally, it was burnt (about 60 years ago). Then they thought of
utilizing it. First, they experimented it in the making of SOAPS and
it worked.

Then, a full network was formed and this FAT was chemically Processed,
Packed and Marketed, while the other manufacturing companies bought
it. In the meantime, all European States made it a rule that every
Food, Medical and Personal Hygiene product should have the ingredients
listed on its cover. so, this ingredient was listed as PIG FAT.

Those who are living in Europe for the past 40 years know about this.
But, these products came under a ban by the ISLAMIC COUNTRIES at that
time, which resulted in a trade deficit.

Going back in time, if you are somehow related to South East Asia , you
might know about the provoking factors of the 1857 CIVIL WAR. At that
time, Rifle Bullets were made in Europe and transported to the
sub-continent through the Sea.It took months to reach there and the
gun powder in it was ruined due to the exposure to sea.

Then, they got the idea of coating the Bullets with fat, which was PIG
FAT. The fat layer had to be scratched by teeth before using them.
When the word spread, the soldiers, mostly Muslim and some
Vegetarians, refused to fight.Which eventually lead to the Civil War.
The Europeans recognized these facts, and instead of writing PIG FAT,
they started writing ANIMAL FAT.All those living in Europe since
1970's know this fact. When the companies were asked by authorities
from the MUSLIM COUNTRIES, what animal fat is it, they were told it
was COW and SHEEP Fat. Here again a question raised, if it was COW or
SHEEP Fat, still it is HARAAM to MUSLIMS, as these animal were not
SLAUGHTERED as per the ISLAMIC LAW. Thus, they were again banned.
Now, these multinational companies were again facing a severe drought
of money as 75% of their income comes from selling their goods to
Muslim Countries, and these earn BILLIONS OF DOLLARS of Profit from
their exports to the MUSLIM WORLD.

Finally they decided to start a coding language, so that only their
Departments of Food Administration should know what they are using,
and the common man is left lurking in the dark.Thus, they started
E-CODES. These
 
E- INGREDIENTS are present in a majority of products of
multinational firms including, but not limited to -

TOOTH PASTE,
SHAVING CREAM
CHEWING GUM,
CHOCOLATE,
SWEETS,
BISCUITS,
CORN FLAKES, TOFFEES,
CANNED FOODS,
FRUIT TINS,

Some medication Multi-vitamins Since these goods are being used in all
MUSLIM Countries indiscrimately, our society is facing problems like
shamelessness, rudeness and sexual promiscuity.
So, I request all MUSLIMS or non pork eaters to check the ingredients
of the ITEMS of daily use and match it with the following list of
E-CODES. 

If any of the ingredients listed below is found, try to avoid
it, as it has got PIG FAT;
E100, E110, E120, E 140, E141, E153, E210, E213, E214, E216, E234,
E252,E270, E280, E325, E326, E327, E334, E335, E336, E337, E422, E430,
E431, E432, E433, E434, E435, E436, E440, E470, E471, E472, E473,
E474, E475,E476, E477, E478, E481, E482, E483, E491, E492, E493, E494,
E495, E542,E570, E572, E631, E635, E904.

Eight Things for a Beautiful Life!

This is actually not a work of mine. I got this via an email.It has good lessons to take in to our life. I thought to put it in my blog so that I hope the whole world would benefit from this story.

One time a scholar asked one of his students, "You have spent a long time with me, what have you learned?"

He said I learned eight things:

·                     First, I looked to the creation. Everyone has a loved one. When he goes to the grave, he leaves his loved one. 

Therefore, I made my loved one my good deeds; that way, they will be with me in the grave.

·                    Second, I looked to the verse, 

"But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust," 

therefore, I struggled against my desires so I could stay obeying Allah.

·                     Third, I saw that if anyone has something with him that is worth something, he will protect it. Then I thought about the verse,

” That which you have is wasted away; and that which is with Allah remains," 

therefore, everything worth something with me I devoted to Him so it would be with Him for me.

                     Fourth, I saw the people seeking wealth, honor and positions and it was not worth anything to me. Then I thought about Allah's words,

"Lo, the noblest of you in the sight of Allah is the most aware of Allah,  

so I did my best to become aware of Allah in order to gain nobility in his sight.

·                     Fifth, I saw the people being jealous towards each other and I looked at the verse,

 

"We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world",

so I left jealousy.

·                     Sixth, I saw the people having enmity and I thought about the verse,

"Lo, the devil is an enemy for you, so take him as an enemy", 

so I left enmity and I took the Satan as my only enemy.

·                     Seventh, I saw them debasing themselves in search of sustenance and I thought about the verse,

"And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof depends on Allah", 

so I kept myself busy with my responsibilities toward Him and I left my property with Him.

·                     Eighth, I found them relying on their business, buildings and health and I thought about the verse,

"And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him", 

therefore, I put my trust only on Allah.
