One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided since the animalwas old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway, it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. So, the farmer invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed shovels, and began to shovel dirt into the well.
All the other farm animals were very upset about this, because the donkey was their friend. But they discovered there was nothing they could do to help him. At first, when the donkey realized what was happening, he cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well, and was
astonished at what he saw.
With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off, and take a step up on the dirt as it piled up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well, and trotted off!
MORAL: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. But each trouble can be a stepping stone. What happens to you isn't nearly as important as how you react to it. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not giving up!
Shake it off, and take a step up!

People will forget what you did
But people will never forget how you made them feel"

Really Touching ! A young man was getting ready to graduate college. For many months he Had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Holy Qur'an. Angrily, he raised his voice at his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Holy Qur'an?" and stormed out of the house, leaving the Holy book. He never contacted his father again for long long time.Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. Hehad a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father wasvery old, and thought perhaps he should go to him. He had not seen him since that graduation day.Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegram telling himhis father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son.He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When hearrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled hisheart. He began to search his father's important papers and saw thestill new Holy Qur'an, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Holy Qur'an and began to turn the pages. As heread those words, a car key dropped from an envelope taped behind theHoly Qur'an. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer whohad the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of hisgraduation, and the words PAID IN FULL. How many times do we miss ALLAH blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?
You, who are living in the spring are satisfied at your
existance I, who began life in the fall, am here for only a few days
The splendour of your honour, brings out the colour in an already beautiful season Over here, there is only a dull nest filled with the false pride of ruined colours
You adorn th moist reddness of your tender lips in roses Over here, even the dead reds of burnt leaves is precious
With your own fragrant aroma, you make provide the flowers of spring with their fragrance Over here, the odour from the dying flowers is ashamed at itself
Your every hope and desire, becomes illuminated by the brightness of the season Over here, the scattered clouds of unfilled desires are desolute
You can select the sweetness of love from the many willing fresh fruits of spring Over here, there is a lonely
wilderness of ruined gardens and their rotten fruit
With your melodious singing, the the sun's hidden smile is released Over here, a stumbling, voiceless captive's cries of distress are hidden
Bismillah plays an important role in Islamic Culture. Following the practice of the Holy Prophet Muhammad, peace and blesssings be upon him and his Household (Ahlul Bayt), Muslims begin with the name of Allah before doing anything. Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Rahim is translated as "In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful". Bismillah occurs at the head of every chapter (surah) in the Holy Qur'an, with the exception of the 9th
chapter, Surah al-Baraa'at (also called Surah al-Tawbah). Calligraphers have written bismillah in many ways. This pictorial gives us a unique opportunity to look at some of the ways bismillah can be written.
In a letter on behalf of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his Household
This bismillah is taken from a letter written on behalf of Prophet Muhammad [s] to the Ruling Archbishop of Egypt. The letter was written in the fifth year after Hijrah (627 CE). This letter is preserved in the Topkapi Museum, in Istanbul, Turkey. The actual inscriber is not known. The Holy Prophet [s] used to ask several different companions to write on his behalf. Among them was a young companion named Zaid bin Thabit.
Written at the time of Uthman b. Affan
This is from one of the earliest copies of the Holy Qur'an housed in the Topkapi Museum, Istanbul, Turkey. This copy of the Qur'an is one of the original manuscripts written at the time of Uthman's caliphate. Another original manuscript from the same period is on display at the Tashkent Museum in Uzbekistan.
Written by Amir al-Mu'minin, Ali b. Abi Talib, peace be upon him
This bismillah is written on deerskin by Imam Ali b. Abi Talib, peace be upon him.
Bismillah in calligraphical styles:
Bismillah is still written with the same letters, but the calligraphy has certainly changed. Here are some of the samples of bismillah written in different calligraphical styles. The name of the style is written below them.
Muhaqqaq
Eastern Kufi
Nakshi
Modern Kufi
Bismillah Today:
The bismillah above is written in Nastaleeq script. This is the same script in which Urdu in India and Pakistan and
classical Farsi in Iran are written. Until ten years ago, all newspapers in Pakistan were handwritten in this script. But now several computers equipped with the Nastaleeq fonts are used. Arabic and Persian languages nowadays are written in Naskh script. Turkish, Malay, and Bangla languages at one time used to be written in Naskh script before the Arabic script was abandoned.
