Touching story of an old father, son and a sparrow

Have you ever watch the Petronas advertisement /short clip about the story of an old father, his son & a magpie bird? Well this one is quite similar to that video, only it is not the Malaysian version. Enjoy & think :)

Found the video from http://islamicthinking.tumblr.com/post/5862528707/honour-your-parents-always

Let's always love our parents & all the elderly, respect them. Even if the elders aren't our parents,but they are parents to some other souls. That, my friend, is exactly why in Islam we are to respect not only our parents, but all the elderly. :) May whatever we do - even the smallest, tiniest, unknown-by-others deed - will be seen by Him as worthy deed, useful of taking us into the resentment of our sins, & as a toll for making it to His heaven. Amiin. :)

Abdullah bin Abbas (RA) reported that the Prophet (SAW) said that encouraging good, prohibiting evil, lifting the burden of the weak person and removing an offensive thing from a path are all acceptable prayers to Allah. [ibn Majah]

Si Itam (The Black One)

Hi, 10 ice…do you know…

Back then…“Get away, get away you filthy animal!!! Damn cat…” That’s my normal reaction seeing cats wandering out in front of me house. I don’t know, but maybe I do not really like them, or no point in liking them I think.

“Oh see that cat there, how cute…” is what people used to say bout them cat. Seriously, what cuteness do they see. All the cats have the same look to me. A somewhat ugly, murderous, evil,devilish stare shines from its face. Always with the sneaky, ill-intention look, hidden by its so-called ‘cute & pityful’ smile… Yeah rite, as if it can fool me, others, okay, but me? Hell no.

Anyway, just until recently, I got this link about a story of a cat & its caring owner. Well, guess who’s the owner is? It happens to be our most glorious leader, most highest ranking man by His eyes, & yet the most humblest person the world has ever known. The last Messenger of Allah, prophet Muhammad ( peace be upon him).

In the story, our great Prophet p.b.u.h. shows such great care & love to the cat, as if it were his own son. Once, he was on his way to go perform salah. Just when reaching out for his jubah ( a kind of cloth used mostly by the Arabians), his cat, named Mueeza, were sleeping cozily on the jubah. Not wanting to wake up Mueeza, he chosed to cut the part of jubah which were occupied by Mueeza…

Maybe, because of this story, I kinda have a different cats. Even the most noble person in the world - the man who is promised to be the very first to enter His heaven – treats a mere animal, a cat with such respect. That, me friend, is how the leader of men should be, not bias, not taking any particular liking to any certain groups, or, in his case, species.

Now… I am trying to take a liking too towards cats. Yeah, supposedly to all other animals, but still, think & aim big, start small. There is this particular cat, a small one, that keeps coming to our house. Well me & my housemates decide to buy it some food, feeding it. A small, black cat… Blacky ( Si itam ) is what we called it.

I.... urrmmm.... You...
