You have a lot of money, what do you do?”The old woman said:“I bet.”The manager said:“Wow! You made so much money by betting?”The old woman said:“Yes. If you don’t believe me, bet me one hundred thousand rupees. I think you are wearing a wig.”The manager immediately said:“No, this is my real hair, I am still young!”The old woman said:“Come on, bet me one hundred thousand.”The manager thought to himself that the old woman had gone mad, and would lose one hundred thousand rupees anyway. He said:“Okay, I accept the bet.”The old woman said:“Since the bet is one hundred thousand rupees, I will…

An old sage was sitting with his grandson on the edge of the forest. It was evening, the last rays of the sun were falling from the trees. There was peace on the old man’s face and a deep light of experience in his eyes. The grandson looked a little worried. He said softly to his grandfather: “Grandfather! There is a strange battle going on in my heart. Sometimes I want to be good, but sometimes I also feel anger, jealousy and hatred. Why is this happening?” The old sage smiled and said: “Son, this battle is not only in your heart, but it is inside every human being.” The grandson looked at his grandfather in surprise. The grandfather continued: “There are two wolves in every human being’s heart.” The grandson asked: “Two wolves? How?” The old man said: “The first wolf represents evil. He is full of anger, envy,…

Most people think that the Strait of Hormuz is just a geographical route through which oil is transported, and whenever there is tension in the region, there is a fear that Iran will close this route and oil will not be able to reach other countries, including Pakistan. But if we look at this issue only from a political or economic angle, we may ignore its real wisdom. Allah Almighty has created everything in this world with some purpose and wisdom. The seas, rivers, mountains and roads all have a message in them. The Strait of Hormuz is also one of them. It is not just a strip of water but actually a symbol of the geographical connection between the Muslim world. This is the place where the interests of the Gulf countries, Iran and Pakistan intersect. Every ship passing through here reminds us that our economies, our needs and…

There was a king whose decisions were talked about in distant kingdoms. It was said that whatever decision he made, time itself would bear witness to it. He would neither reverse any decision nor regret any decision. His wisdom and insight had become an example. Nearby was another kingdom where the king was no less powerful than anyone, but his decisions were often reversed. Orders were issued for reform, but the result was loss, and despite good intentions, rebellion would arise. He could not understand the reason for this confusion. One day he called his son, the prince, and said that he was going to the court of another king, to see, learn and understand what process was it that made his decisions correct, while here every time a mistake was made. The prince set off in compliance with the order. When he reached the court of the famous king,…

A dispute arose between a Jew and a hypocrite (apparently a Muslim) over some matter, and the Jew proposed to appoint the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as an arbitrator for the decision. The hypocrite was against appointing the Jewish leader, Ka’b bin Ashraf, as he was a bribe-taking Jew. After much persuasion and argument, both agreed to appoint the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). So they both presented their case to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) ruled in favor of the Jew because he was proven to be right, but the hypocrite did not accept this decision and said, “Now we will appoint Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) as an arbitrator. Whatever decision is given will be binding on both of us.” The…

In ancient Greece, there lived a musician named Orpheus, whose melodies moved hearts. He loved his beloved Eurydice immensely, but she suddenly left this world at the hands of death. Orpheus descended into the underworld with his pain to bring her back. His music silenced the shadows, beasts, and the guards of Hades there. The gods made a condition:“Eurydice will follow you, but you must not look back until you see the light above.” Orpheus began his journey. Darkness, long tunnels, fear at every step. Eurydice’s breathing was heard, but she was not seen. When the light came closer, he allowed himself to doubt, and looked back in a moment of anxiety. Eurydice immediately disappeared into the shadows. Orpheus’ flute fell to the ground, and his music never regained that sparkle, but the lesson remained in his heart. Moral lesson:Sometimes faith and patience are the greatest strength;If you turn back…

In a vast forest where powerful animals ruled, no one paid any attention to the small creatures. Elephants made the paths, lions made the laws, and buffaloes guarded the barns. Mice, squirrels, and especially cheetahs lived quietly under roots and stones and ate the scraps left by the larger animals.Of these small creatures, cheetahs were the most industrious. They would gather grains, leaves, and seeds from morning till night and build tunnels miles long underground. Although they were small, they were in great numbers, and their hard work alone helped keep the forest alive.One year, the council of powerful animals announced a great project.The elephant announced, “We will build a huge dam on the river so that no living creature will remain thirsty during the dry season.”The lion king approved the project and the guard buffaloes began to collect their share. Each animal had to give something. The monkeys gathered…

Jews are still searching for the Ark of Peace because it is mentioned in the Torah. Don’t think of the word Ark as being related to any death, rather, let’s say it is an ark that is considered to be a great blessing in the lineage of Prophet Isaac. What is inside it are two important things: the Ten Commandments on stone tablets and the staff of Prophet Moses. Today, we will introduce you to the staff of Moses. Perhaps you will recognize it or perhaps you will consider it as a common man’s staff, and perhaps you will consider it as knowledge. It exists in all three capacities. First of all, know that the word Moses is a name, but it also has another meaning. Moses means one who came out of the water or was taken out. And the one who is recognized by the water of the…

In September 1991, hikers in the Ötztal Alps, near the border between Austria and Italy, came across a startling sight.The body of a man was half-exposed from a glacier. The skin was black, the clothes were torn, and one arm was outstretched—as if he were trying to hold on to his life in his final moments. At first, everyone assumed it was a modern mountain accident. But it soon became clear that this assumption was wrong by a full 5,300 years. The tools found near the body were not made of steel. The clothes were not made of any modern fabric. And an axe—made of almost pure copper—testified to a world that predates writing. The man was later named “Ötzi,” after the Ötztal Mountains where he was found. When carbon dating was performed, experts were left speechless.Ötzi died around 3300 BC —That’s two thousand years before the Great Pyramids of…

When Allah Almighty ordered Hazrat Musa (AS) and Hazrat Harun (AS) to go to Pharaoh, invite him to monotheism and free the Children of Israel from slavery, they fearlessly entered Pharaoh’s court. Hazrat Musa (AS) said:“I am the Messenger of the Lord of the Worlds, free the Children of Israel with me.” Pharaoh said arrogantly:“Who is your Lord? And what sign have you brought of your truth?” By Allah’s command, Hazrat Musa (AS) threw his staff on the ground, and it became a living and terrifying snake. Then he took out his hand from his collar, and it was bright and shining white. But Pharaoh, immersed in arrogance, dismissed even these obvious miracles as magic. He gathered great magicians from all over Egypt. On the day of a great festival, when thousands of people had gathered in the field, the competition began. The magicians said:“Moses! Will you throw first or…

In countless Hollywood movies, a creature or animal is shown that comes out of the ground by tearing it apart. That animal is so strong and powerful that the rocky hard ground proves to be weaker than sand in front of its immense power. Coming out of the ground, it starts spreading destruction and destruction, picking up humans like straw and throwing them away. Big buildings are no more important than houses made of sand in front of it. Humans try to control it or destroy it, but they fail. Almost all Hollywood filmmakers and directors are Jews. They try to give a message in their films that if such a creature comes out of the earth and humans have to fight it, how can they deal with it? The Jewish people are a staunchly religious people. This people also believe in the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran, which…

In medieval Germany, where decisions of law and justice were often left to human strength and luck, there was a tradition that seems incredible to modern man. This tradition was the matrimonial combat — a contest in which husbands and wives decided their disputes on the battlefield rather than in court. This custom was called Trial by Combat in German, and it was used not only between enemies, but also between husbands and wives. This was no ordinary fight. Its rules were both strange and terrifying. The husband was made to stand in a deep pit, so deep that he could not get out. One of his hands was tied behind his back, so that he could not use his full strength. On the other hand, the wife stood free in the field, but her freedom was not complete. Heavy weights were tied to her clothes to slow her down.…

Once upon a time, there was a long-running feud between a pack of wolves and a flock of sheep. The wolves were constantly on the lookout for an opportunity, but the sheep were protected by loyal and brave shepherd dogs (Sheepdogs). Whenever the wolves attacked, the dogs would bark to warn everyone and block their path. That was why all the wolves’ plans were failing. 🐺So the wolves held a meeting and sent one of their “ambassadors” to the sheep, who said in a very innocent and gentle manner:“Dear sheep! Why do we always have this tension? The truth is that we respect you. The real troublemakers are these shepherd dogs. They bark, show anger and always interfere—that’s why we are forced to ‘retaliate’ and misunderstandings arise. If you get rid of these dogs, we will finally be able to live in permanent peace.” 🤝The sheep were naive and tired…

The donkey carried the sacks of grain to the barn, the chickens laid eggs, and the cows provided milk. The goat’s responsibility was to distribute these supplies equally among the hungry animals.But the goat’s own hunger was insatiable.

This faith-refreshing incident is that of Hazrat Uzair (AS), who was one of the great prophets of the Children of Israel. When the disobedience of the Children of Israel exceeded the limit, Allah Almighty brought punishment upon them. A cruel king named Bakht Nasr attacked Jerusalem, killed countless people, exiled many, and imprisoned thousands. The city was completely destroyed and left desolate. Hazrat Uzair (AS) was also among the prisoners. After some time, when he was released from captivity, one day he rode his donkey and reached Jerusalem. Seeing the devastation and desolation of the city, his heart was filled. The devastation was so great that there were ripe fruits on the trees, but there was no one to pick them. In this state, he involuntarily said:“How will Allah Almighty revive this city after this devastation?” He ate some fruits, extracted the grape juice, put the rest in a skin,…

The Young Lion Who Disobeyed the EldersA long time ago, when the grass grew long and golden in the grasslands under the scorching sun, there lived a young lion named Kiron. The hair on his neck was just beginning to grow thick, and his chest was proud and broad.Kiron was powerful—more powerful than many other lions his age—and he knew it.Every evening, the old lions gathered under the broad acacia tree and talked about the old ways: when to hunt, when to rest, and which paths were dangerous. All the younger lions listened intently.But Kiron did not listen.He would wag his tail and say: “Why should I listen to these old stories? My legs are fast, my teeth are sharp. I will make my own way.”The old lions looked at each other in silence but said nothing.Once, during a drought, when the prey was scarce, the oldest lion warned the…

I found my 87-year-old father in the kitchen, his hands shaking as he tried to scrape the frozen porridge straight from the pan. He hadn’t turned on the stove. He was afraid he’d forget to turn off the gas—and I’d have another excuse to move him to some old home in “the city.”I took the pan from his hand.I said, more forcefully than necessary, “Abu, why didn’t you heat it up? I bought you a microwave!”The drive from the city had been four hours long because of traffic, and my patience had already paid off.He didn’t look at me. He just stared at the old linoleum floor he had laid when I was in elementary school.“Son, the buttons on it… they’re so small. The numbers are blurred now.”Something inside me snapped.In the past few months, I hadn’t seen them much. I kept telling myself that I was too busy with…
