We do not own this piece....this is a post that we've found interesting and a worth time reading. Hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as we all had. Have fun
Once a man saw in his dream, that a lion was chasing him.The man ran to a tree, climbed on to it and sat on a branch. He looked
down and saw that the lion was still there waiting for him.The man then
looked to his side where the branch he was sitting on was
attached to the tree and saw that two rats were circling around
and eating the branch. One rat was black and the other one was white. The
branch would fall on the ground very soon.
The man then looked below again with fear and discovered that a
big black snake had come and settled directly under him. The snake opened
its mouth right under the man so that he will fall into it.The man then
looked up to see if there was anything that he could hold on to. He saw
another branch with a honeycomb. Drops of honey were falling from it.
The man wanted to taste one of the drops. So, he put his tongue out
and tasted one of the fallen drops of honey. The honey was amazing in
taste. So, he wanted to taste another drop. As he did, he got lost into
the sweetness of the honey.Meanwhile, he forgot about the two rats
eating his branch away, the lion on the ground and the snake that is
sitting right under him.After a while, he woke up from his sleep.
To get the meaning behind this dream, the man went to a pious scholar
of Islam. The scholar said, the lion you saw is your death. It always
chases you and goes wherever you go.
The two rats, one black and one white, are the night and the
day.Black one is the night and the white one is the day. They circle
around, coming one after another, to eat your time as they take you
closer to death.The big black snake with a dark mouth is your grave.
It’s there, just waiting for you to fall into it. The honeycomb is this
world and the sweet honey is the luxuries of this world. We like to
taste a drop of the luxuries of this world but it’s very sweet. Then we
taste another drop and yet another.Meanwhile, we get lost into it and we
forget about our time, we forget about our death and we forget about
our grave.

WHAT IS LIFE?
WHAT IS LIFE?
Life isn't about keeping score.
It's not about how many friends you have, or how accepted you are.
Not about if you have plans this weekend
or if you're alone.
It isn't about who you're dating, who you used to date,
how many people you've dated,
or if you haven't been
with anyone at all.
It's not about sex,
It isn't about who your family is
or how much money they have,
or what kind of car
you drive.
Or where you were sent to school.
It's not about how beautiful
or how ugly you are.
Or what clothes you wear,
what shoes you have on,
or what kind of music you listen to.
It's not about if your hair
is blonde, red, black, or brown.
Or if you skin is too light or dark.
Not about what grades you get,
how smart you are,
how smart everybody else thinks you are,
or how smart standardized tests say you are.
It's not about what clubs you're in
or how good you are at "your" sport.
It's not about representing your whole being on a piece of paper
and seeing who will "accept
the written you."
Life just isn't.
But, life is about who you love and who you hurt.
It's about who you make happy or unhappy purposefully.
It's about keeping or betraying trust.
It's about friendship,
used as a sancity or a weapon.
It's about what you say
and mean,
maybe hurtful,
maybe heartening.
About starting rumors and contributing to petty gossip.
It's about what judgements you pass
and why.
And who your judgements are spread to.
It's about who you've ignored
with full control and intention.
It's about jealousy,
fear,
ignorance,
and revenge.
It's about carrying inner hate and love,
letting it grow,
and spreading it.
But, most of all,
it's about using your life to touch
or to poison
other people's hearts in such a way
that could have never occurred alone.
Only you choose the way those hearts are affected,
and those choices
are what life
is about.

"By time. Indeed, mankind is in loss. Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience."
(Surah al-'Asr)
“Know that the life of this world is only play and amusement, pomp and mutual boasting among you, and rivalry in respect of wealth and children, as the likeness of vegetation after rain, thereof the growth is pleasing to the tiller; afterwards it dries up and you see it turning yellow; then it becomes straw. But in the Hereafter (there is) a severe torment (for the disbelievers, evil-doers), and (there is) Forgiveness from Allah and (His) Good Pleasure (for the believers, good-doers), whereas the life of this world is only a deceiving enjoyment” [Al-Hadid 57:20]
