Hadis 04

Sahih Bukhari

Narrated by Aisha (the wife of the Prophet):
I bought a cushion having on it pictures (of animals). When Allah's Apostle saw it, he stood at the door and
did not enter. I noticed the sign of disapproval on his face and said, "O Allah's Apostle! I repent to Allah and
His Apostle. What sin have I committed?' Allah's Apostle said. "What is this cushion?" I said, "I have bought
it for you so that you may sit on it and recline on it." Allah's Apostle said, "The makers of these pictures will
be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them, 'Give life to what you have created (i.e.,
these pictures).' " The Prophet added, "The Angels of (Mercy) do not enter a house in which there are pictures
(of animals)."

Rain Formation


How rain was formed remained a great mystery for quite some time. Only after the weather radar was invented
was it possible to discover the stages by which rain is formed. According to this discovery, the formation of rain
takes place in three stages. First, the "raw material" of rain rises up into the air with the wind. Later, clouds are
formed, and finally raindrops appear. The Qur'an's account of the formation of rain refers exactly to this process.
In one verse, this formation is described in this way:

It is Allah Who sends the winds which stir up clouds which He spreads about the sky however He wills.
He forms them into dark clumps and you see the rain come pouring out from the middle of them.
When He makes it fall on those of His servants He wills, they rejoice.
(Qur'an, 30:48)

Now, let us examine these three stages outlined in the verse in more detail.


FIRST STAGE: "It is Allah Who sends the winds..."

Countless air bubbles formed by the foaming of the oceans continuously burst and cause water particles to be
ejected towards the sky. These particles, which are rich in salt, are then carried away by winds and rise upward
in the atmosphere. These particles, which are called aerosols, function as water traps, and form cloud drops by
collecting around the water vapour themselves, which rises from the seas as tiny droplets.


SECOND STAGE: ".... which stir up clouds which He spreads about the sky however He wills. He forms
them
into dark clumps..."

The clouds are formed from water vapour that condenses around the salt crystals or dust particles in the air.
Because the water droplets in these clouds are very small (with a diameter between 0.01 and 0.02 mm), the
clouds are suspended in the air, and spread across the sky. Thus, the sky is covered in clouds.


THIRD STAGE: "…and you see the rain come pouring out from the middle of them"

The water particles that surround salt crystals and dust particles thicken and form raindrops, so, drops that
become heavier than the air leave the clouds and start to fall to the ground as rain.

As already discussed, every stage in the formation of rain is related in the verses of the Qur'an. Furthermore,
these stages are explained in exactly the right sequence. Just as with many other natural phenomena on the
Earth, Allah gave the most correct explanation of this phenomenon, and made it known in the Qur'an centuries
before it was discovered.

Zawjaty (My wife)

Album: Da’ani
- by Ahmed Bukhatir

English Translation

I love you the way you are,
I love you the way you were,
No matter what did or will happen,
You are and will be my darling.

You're my rightful wife, I care not about
Those who like to reproach and irritate me.
It is our destiny to be
Together eternally.

In my heart you instilled love
With grace and good deeds.
Happiness vanishes when you disappear,
Life brightens when you're there.

Hard is my day
Until you return home.
Sadness disappears
When you smile.

Life turns black
When you're upset,
So I work hard
To make your wish come true.

You're my happiness.
May you be happy forever.
Our souls are united
Like soil and plants.

You're my hope, my peace
My good company and inspiration.
Life is good, no matter how hard it is,
When you're fine.

The Shepherd

Once upon a time, there lived in Basra an old man whose only occupation was caring for and loving his only
son who was a handsome young man. The old man invested all his money on his son's education. The young
man went away for a few years and acquired an education at a well known university under the great scholars
of that age.

The day had arrived for the son to return from his studies and the old man waited at the door for his son.
When the son came and met his father, the old man looked into his eyes and felt great disappointment.
"What have you learnt my son?" he asked, "I have learnt everything there was to be learnt, father", he said.
"But have you learnt what cannot be taught?" asked the father. "Go, my son and learn what cannot be taught",
said the old man.

The young man went back to his master and asked him to teach him what cannot be taught.
"Go away to the mountains with these four hundred sheep and come back when they are one thousand",
said the master.

The young man went to the mountains and became a shepherd. There for the first time he encountered a
silence. He had no one to talk to. The sheep did not understand his language. In his desperation, he would
talk to them but they would look back at him as if to say he was stupid. Slowly but surely he began to forget
all his worldly knowledge, his ego, his pride and he became quiet like the sheep and great wisdom and
humility came to him.

At the end of two years when the number of sheep had grown to one thousand, he returned to his master and
fell on his feet. "Now you have learnt what cannot be taught," said the master.

p/s: It is interesting to note that almost all the Prophets of Allah S.A.W. at some time in their lives, generally
before Prophethood, tended to sheep, and other such animals.
