khususi & a story

Khususi:

- If the house is too small, or lots of kids that can distract the conversation, bring the brother to the masjid, or further away, like lawns.

- The best place to speak is at the masjid, not at home, because full attention and the environment is there.

*****

A brother wants to quit his job and go for 4 months. He already married. When an old worker at his place know about this, he advise him not to quit his job, but to do 2 things:

- Don’t miss the local efforts

- Do his job as best as he could.

So the brother cancels quitting and did the above. Later, after awhile, his father-in-law who used to dislike him for being involved in this effort, turned to like him because he didn’t left his family for long. His boss, seeing that he does his job excellently, said to him that he can go for 40 days, and the boss will wait for him to return, even for 4 months. The boss likes him and felt such a loss to sack him if he goes out. The brother then took his leave and goes out for 4 months:

- The benefit of doing consultation (masywarah)

- Slow and steady is better than going out and face problems

- Local efforts are important for us to go out.

The richest man

Seorang lelaki dikatakan paling kaya dalam bandarnya. Bila orang ramai ke rumahnya, tiada apa yang dilihat mewah atau istimewa dalam rumahnya. Bila ditanya, lelaki itu menjawab,
"Dunia bukan tempat jadi kaya. Semua harta saya sudah dihantar ke akhirat untuk bina rumah saya di sana."
Inilah kaya yang sebenar.

A man is said to be the richest in his city. When people went to his house, there's nothing much in the house, nothing extravagant, nor special. Upon asked, the man replied,
"This world is not the place to be rich. I sent all my wealth to the Hereafter, to build my house there."
Now, that's the true wealth.
