If Allah is willing

Hodja was determined to be decisive and efficient. one day he told his wife he would plow his largest field on the far side of the river and be back for a big dinner. She urged him to say, "If Allah is willing."
He told her whether Allah was willing or not, that was his plan. The frightened wife looked up to Allah and asked forgiveness.
Hodja loaded his wooden plow, hitched up the oxen to the wagon, climbed on his donkey, and set off.
But within the short span of a day the river flooded from a cloudburst and washed his donkey downstream, and one of the oxen broke a leg in the mud, leaving Hodja to hitch himself in its place to plow the field.
Having finished only half the field, at the sunset he set out for home exhausted and soaking wet. The river was still high so he had to wait until long past dark to cross over.
After midnight a very wet but much wiser Hodja knocked at his door.
- Who is there Asked his wife.
- I think it is me, Hodja, he replied, if Allah is willing!

Version Imprimable

Le Seigneur nous a envoyé un atome de Ces Océans, Mouhammad (saw)

Allah nous envoie quelqu’un pour Le représenter, Lui et Sa Gloire, Son Pouvoir, Son Amour, Sa Beauté, Son Savoir et Sa Sagesse infinie.Je ne dis pas que ces représentants sont une représentation entière… peut-être seulement un atome.

Quand le mensonge est appelé vérité

Quand le mensonge est appelé vérité , Tel est l'ordre des choses qui prévaut à notre époque ; chaque valeur morale se retrouve bouleversée de telle manière que les gens ne sont plus capables de distinguer le Bien du Mal
