Shaykh Zahir's zero second Adab Class

At a program this weekend, Sh Zahir was scheduled for a class on "Adab". However due to circumstances he could not hold the class in the morning and instead had a class in the afternoon. So anyways, at the start of his afternoon class, he said, that even though the class this morning was canceled, there was an adab class that happened in his absentia. . He said that when he did not show up in the morning we should have been:

1. Patient.
   
2. Assume only the good about the Shaykh in his absence.
3. All of us should have made dua for his health/safety/etc.

And all said and done, he said, now that he had showed up and we know that he is okay: we learned that: collective duas are answered! He said thats the best adab class you'll get. :-)

Alhamdulillah he did go on to cover a part of Imam Haddad's "Good Manners" text :) in the afternoon.

May Allah SWT preserve our Shuyukh! ( and their good humor!)

Mulla Nasirudin joke: The pot

A funny joke with a message.

The Pot

Nasrudin borrowed a pot from his friend. The next day, he gave the pot back to the friend, and also gave him another smaller pot. The friend looked at the small pot, and said, “What is that?”

“Your pot gave birth while I had it,” Nasrudin replied, “so I am giving you its child.”

The friend was glad to receive the bonus, and didn’t ask any more questions.

A week later, Nasrudin borrowed the original pot from the friend. After a week passed, the friend asked Nasrudin to return it.

“I cannot,” Nasrudin said.

“Why not?” the friend replied.

“Well,” Nasrudin answered, “I hate to be the bearer of bad news…but your pot has died.”

“What?” the friend asked with skepticism. “A pot cannot die!”

“You believed it gave birth,” Nasrudin said, “so is why is it that you cannot believe it has died.”

i.e. we are happy to "gain" benefit from others without thinking about it, but think a lot more when we "give".

An Old classic: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody

This is a little story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.

It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

Seagul Thief

"A seagull in Scotland has developed the habit of stealing chips from a neighborhood shop.

The seagull waits until the shopkeeper isn't looking, and then walks into the store and grabs a snack-size bag of cheese Doritos.

Once outside, the bag gets ripped open and shared by other birds.

The seagull's shoplifting started early this month when he first swooped into the store in Aberdeen, Scotland, and helped himself to a bag of chips. Since then, he's become a regular. He always takes the same type of chips.

Customers have begun paying for the seagull's stolen bags of chips because they think it's so funny."

Funny man Colbert

Recently I have started watching the Colbert Report on Comedy Central. And it is hilarious. Mr. Colbert makes you think with his witty sense of humour. One of his most famous Public appearences was the white house correspondents dinner early last year which wa sbeing attended by Mr. Bush as well. Here is a quote from Colbert where he talks about bush:

"I stand by this man. I stand by this man because he stands for things. Not only for things, he stands on things. Things like aircraft carriers and rubble and recently flooded city squares. And that sends a strong message, that no matter what happens to America, she will always rebound — with the most powerfully staged photo ops in the world."
