A Special Teacher

Jean Thompson stood in front of her fifth grade class on the very first day of school in the fall and told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her pupils and said that she loved them all the same, that she would treat them all alike. And that was impossible because there in front of her, slumped in his seat on the third row, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were unkept and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy was unpleasant.

"Hasten towards good deeds" she says, "and be earnest in seeking the forgiveness of your Lord and my Lord - Allah, the Almighty." "Remember please to remember Allah as much as possible. Remember to restrain anger and to Lower your gaze. Keep in mind that not only your stomach fasts, but your entire being fasts too. "She says. "May Allah increase us in taqwa and rectify our affairs." she prays. As a final note, Zaynerb says to caution the tongue of lies and backbiting.

May Allah not deny us all the reward of our worship. Aameen. Ramadan Mubarak !

It's All In Your Eyes

" Look into my eyes" has anyone ever said these words to you? Then it may be that such person already understands that the eye is a window to the heart. Deep connections can be felt with souls by looking at people. No, not at their figures but into their eyes. There's no place to hide once a person has gotten into your eye for the eye is road to your heart. Its all in the eyes.

If one is observant, its easy to tell the state of another's emotion just by looking into their eyes. I know if a person hates my guts by the look they give me.
