THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum Ath-thalaathah, 4th day of Rabee-uthaani 1440, (Tuesday, 11th December, 2018). GREAT OBSERVATION and THOUGHT. BismilLaahir Rahmaanir Raheem. According to some statistics which may not be accurate; Buffalos kill 7 people every year. Lions kill 500 people every year. Hippos kill 800 people every year. Spiders kill 5000 people every year. Scorpions kill 7000 people every year. Snakes kill 10000 people every year. And then, surprisingly, Mosquitoes kill 2.7 million people every year. Yes, meaning the smallest are the deadliest! What's all these about? Small 'sins', hardly noticed by many, are the most deadly to our spiritual life. Avoid excuses for not praying and allotting few moments of your day to your Creator. Sins of omission are just as deadly as sins of commission. Gossiping and small lies, are committed more frequently and are deadly. Mind those little compromises that you do daily. They are the ones that will bring your downfall. Successful people have two things on their lips, "Smile and Silence". Smile can solve problems, while Silence can avoid problems. Sugar and salt may be mixed together but ants reject the salt and carry away only the sugar. Select the right people in life and make your life better and sweeter. If you failed to achieve your dreams, change your ways not your Creator(ALLAH). Remember, trees change their leaves, not their roots. You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks. Haters will see you walking on water and say it's because you can't swim. Even if you dance on water, Your enemies will accuse you of raising dust. Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your own hands. Remember Don’t ever wrestle with a pig. You’ll both get dirty, but the pig will enjoy it. Be focus on pleasing your Creator ALLAH not other creation of the CREATOR. May ALLAH (Azza Wa Jal, The Mighty and the Majestic) keep guiding us all and be pleased with us. Aameen.
