THE KAFAN THIEF

Once while Farookh Omar R.A.A was on his way to Prophet S.A.Ss place for the regular gatherings, he sees a young man sitting under a tree and weeping uncontrollably. He stops and asks him the reason for his tears. The man replies weeping that he has committed a very big sin, about which he believes he will not be forgiven. On hearing this Farookh Omar R.A.A felt bad and further enquired about his sin, on which the man answered that the sin which he committed is so big and complicated that he cannot understand where and how to start from. The man requests Farookh Omar R.A.A to ask Muhammad S.A.S to plead before Allah to forgive him, as he knew that Farookh Omar R.A.A was on his way to Muhammad S.A.S. Farookh Omar R.A.A goes at Prophet S.A.Ss place ad starts weeping remembering the young man and his tears shed for repentance. Muhammad S.A.S asks him the reason for his uncontrollable tears. He tells the whole story to prophet S.A.S, on which Muhammad S.A.S asks Farookh Omar R.A.A to go and get that young man along with him to Prophet S.A.S. The young man comes to Muhammad S.A.S and sits there weeping before him. When he was asked to tell him why was/is he crying, he replies the same way he did to Farookh Omar R.A.A, Muhammad S.A.S begins to think about his sin. The man said that he committed a sin which he believes cannot be forgiven. Then the Prophet S.A.S asks to the man, How much big is your sin? Is it bigger than this earth? Yes Is it bigger than the sky? Yes Is it bigger than the whole universe? Yes, bigger than that Have you joined some partners with Allah? Have you committed shirk ? No Then what sin have you committed, I cant think of anything. Tell me what sin are you talking about ? I am a thief Thief . ??? I dont think being a thief is a sin that cannot be forgiven I am not a common thief. I am a kafan thief A kafan thief Yes, after a dead man or woman is buried, I go there in night time, dig the grave and then steal the kafan of the dead man. I make my living out of that. Yesterday while I was digging out a grave, I found out that it was a dead woman. She was a very beautiful woman. I stole her kafan and she laid naked before me. I couldnt control myself and I ended up having Zeena (illegal sexual intercourse). Once I was done, Allah then gave the woman the tongue to speak, she spoke: I have spend my whole life as a neat and clean lady. I was a woman with a nice and sound character. I never was naked before a stranger, neither was I raped before. Everytime I had a sexual intercourse with my husband I used to take ghusl (bath) and clean myself. But now all because of you I cant as I

am a dead person now. You have made me unclean and ugly. On the day of Resurrection, I will have to wake up before Allah in this state because of you. Hearing this, the man realized his mistake and began running as soon as his legs can take him. He sat under a tree and started weeping as Farookh Omar R.A.A located him. After hearing the whole story Prophet S.A.S grows angry and says, I have never in my whole life heard a sin like this before and I cannot plead your case before Allah, and I would advice you too go away from here, as I dont want to see you. The young man runs away from there and goes to a place where he can repent in Seclusion. He binds himself in pleasing Allah for 40 continuous days, he starts reading prayers on time and spending lot of time in zikrul-allah. Allah gets happy seeing the dedication of the man and sends Angel Gabriel to the earth to Muhammad S.A.S, He ascends towards the earth and asks Prophet S.A.S, why did he spoke those words with the man who came to him to plead his case before Allah. Muhammad S.A.S is then informed about the man, his dedication and his need for the forgiveness from Allah. Muhammad S.A.S is then ordered by Allah to go to the man and give him the news that Allah forgave him for his sin. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now, isnt that a beautiful and thought provoking story. I could feel the chill in my spine when I heard the story first.

The Price of Imaan


Jul 5th, 2012 by Ahmed.

Several years ago an Imaam moved to London. He often took the bus from his home to the town area. Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride the same bus. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him twenty pence too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, you better give the twenty pence back. It would be wrong to keep it. Then he thought, oh forget it, its only twenty pence. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company already gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from Almighty Allah and keep quiet. When his stop came, the Imaam paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the twenty pence back to the driver and said Here, you gave me too much change. The driver with a smile replied Arent you the new Imaam in this area? I have been thinking lately about going to worship at your mosque. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. When the Imaam stepped off the bus, his knees became weak and soft. He had to grab the nearest light pole and held for support, and looked up to the heavens and cried Oh Allah, I almost sold Islam for twenty pence! Remember, we may never see the impact our actions have on people. Sometimes we are the only knowledge of Quran someone will read, or the only Islam a non-Muslim will see. What we need to provide, Insha Allah is an example for others to see. Be carefuland be honest everyday, because you never know who is watching your actions and judging you as a Muslim

The Educated Young Man


There was a young man who went overseas to study for quite some time. When he returned, he asked his parents to find him a religious scholar or any expert who could answer his 3 questions. Finally, his parents were able to find a Mulsim scholar. Young man: Who are you? Can you answer my questions? Scholar: I am one of Allah (SubHana Wa Ta`ala )s slaves and inshaAllah (God willing), I will be able to answer your questions. Young man: Are you sure? A lot of Professors and experts were not able to answer my questions. Scholar: I will try my best, with the help of Allah(SubHana Wa Ta`ala ). Young man:I have 3 questions: 1. Does God exist? If so, show me His shape. 2. What is takdir (fate)? 3. If shaitan (Devil) was created from the fire, why at the end will he be thrown into hell that was also created from fire. It certainly will not hurt him at all, since Shaitan (Devil) and the hell were created from fire. Did God not think of it this far? Suddenly, the Scholar slapped the young mans face very hard. Young man (feeling pain): Why do you get angry at me? Scholar: I am not angry. The slap is my answer to your three questions. Young man: I really dont understand. Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you? Young man: Of course, I felt the pain. Scholar: So do you believe that pain exists? Young man: Yes. Scholar: Show me the shape of the pain! Young man: I cannot. Scholar: That is my first answer. All of us feel Gods existence without being able to see His shape. Scholar: Last night, did you dream that you will be slapped by me? Young man: No. Scholar: Did you ever think that you will get a slap from me, today? Young man: No. Scholar: That is takdir (fate). Scholar: My hand that I used to slap you, what is it created from? Young man: It is created from skin. Scholar: How about your face, what is it created from? Young man: Skin. Scholar: How do you feel after I slapped you? Young man: In pain. Scholar: Even though Shaitan (Devil) and also the hell were created from the fire, if Allah wants, inshAllah (God willing) the hell will become a very painful place for Shaitan (Devil)
