In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate
"May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You"
Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.
Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu

1) HUMAN KINDNESS IN ISLAM
Nasiruddin was the slave of a king, and very fond of hunting.
One day he came across a very pretty baby deer and picked it up and rode away. The mother deer saw Nasiruddin take her baby and followed him anxiously. Nasiruddin, pleased with the baby dear, was thinking about presenting it to his children to play with. After a time, he chanced to look back and saw the mother deer following him, her expression full of grief. He noticed too that she did not seem to care about her own safety. Moved to pity, Nasiruddin set the baby deer free. The mother deer nuzzled and licked her baby fondly and the two deer leapt happily away into the forest. But many times the mother deer looked back at Nasiruddin, as if to express her thanks.That night Nasiruddin dreamt that the revered Prophet was addressing him:
‘Nasiruddin, your name has been entered in the list of Allah, and you will one day have a kingdom. But remember that when you are king you will also have many responsibilities. Just as you have shown mercy to the deer today, you should be merciful to all Allah’s creatures. You should not forget your people by falling into a life of luxury.’
This dream came true and Nasiruddin did become king, Amir Nasiruddin Subaktagin, father of Sultan Muhammad.
The moral of the story is that if we wish Allah to be merciful to us, we must be eager to show mercy to all the living creatures of the earth.When a flower blooms, its colour and scent first touch the garden near it, and then spread.
In the same way, a Muslim’s acts of human kindness should first touch those nearest to him, his family and his neighbours.

2) RULES FO BEING HAPPY
God didn't promise days without pain, Laughter without sorrow,
Sun without rain, But He did promise strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Disappointments are like road bumps, they slow you down a bit
but you enjoy the smooth road afterwards.
Don't stay on the bump too long. Move on!
When you feel down because you didn't get what you want,
Just sit tight and be happy, Because God is thinking of
Something better to give you.
When something happens to you, good or bad, Consider what it means.
There's a purpose to life's events to teach you how to laugh more
Or not to cry as hard.
You can't make someone love you, all you can do is be someone
who can be loved -- the rest is up to the other person to realize your worth.
The measure of love is when you love without measures.
in life there are very rare Chances that you'll meet
the person you love who loves you in return.
So once you have it don't ever let go --
the chance might never come your way again.
It's better to lose your pride to the one you love,
Than to lose the one you love because of pride.
We spend so much time looking for the right person to love
Or finding fault with those we already love,
When instead we should be Perfecting the love we give.
When you truly care for someone, you don't look for faults,
You don't look for answers, you don't look for mistakes.
Instead, you fight the mistakes, you accept the faults and you
Overlook excuses. Never abandon an old friend.
You will never find one who can take his or her place.
Friendship is like wine. It gets better as it grows older.
Remember the five simple rules to being happy:
a) Free your heart of hatred. b) Free your mind from worries.
3) Live simply.4) Give more. 5) Expect less.
No one can go back and make a brand new start.
Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.
