A Bedouin ran away from his prayer.

A bedouin prayed behind an imaam who was reciting from the Qur’aan:

“Did We not destroy the first ones?” [Qur'aan 77:16]

The bedouin happened to be in the first row, and upon hearing that Verse, he moved to a row that was further behind. Then the Imaam recited:

“So shall We make later ones to follow them.” [Qur'aan 77:17]

The bedouin then moved to another row. Next, the Imaam recited this Verse:

“Thus We will deal with the Mujrimoon (polytheists, disbelievers, sinners, etc)!” [Qur'aan 77:18]

The bedouin, whose name happened to be Mujrim, ran away from the congregational prayer saying, “By Allaah, I am his target.“

When some other bedouins met him, they said, “What is the matter, O Mujrim?“

He said, “Indeed the Imaam destroyed the first ones and the last ones, and he wanted to destroy me as well. By Allaah, I do not want to see him after this day!“

Smile ~ it's the second best thing you can do with your lips.

“When you smile,

You do not smile alone,

For the flowers in the fields are always smiling!

And when you sing,

You do not sing alone,

For the birds, and the river, and the rain, and the wind, also sing!

And when you laugh,

You do not laugh alone,

For are’nt the children always laughing?

But when you weep,

With a weeping beyond tears;

When the heart weeps,

It weeps alone!”

                                 Top 10 Reasons to Smile

1. Smiling Makes Us Attractive
We are drawn to people who smile. There is an attraction factor. We want to know a smiling person and figure out what is so good. Frowns, scowls and grimaces all push people away -- but a smile draws them in. 

2. Smiling Changes Our Mood
Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There's a good chance you mood will change for the better. Smiling can trick the body into helping you change your mood.


3. Smiling Is Contagious
When someone is smiling they lighten up the room, change the moods of others, and make things happier. A smiling person brings happiness with them. Smile lots and you will draw people to you.

4. Smiling Relieves Stress
Stress can really show up in our faces. Smiling helps to prevent us from looking tired, worn down, and overwhelmed. When you are stressed, take time to put on a smile. The stress should be reduced and you'll be better able to take action.


5. Smiling Boosts Your Immune System
Smiling helps the immune system to work better. When you smile, immune function improves possibly because you are more relaxed. Prevent the flu and colds by smiling.


6. Smiling Lowers Your Blood Pressure
When you smile, there is a measurable reduction in your blood pressure. Give it a try if you have a blood pressure monitor at home. Sit for a few minutes, take a reading. Then smile for a minute and take another reading while still smiling. Do you notice a difference?


7. Smiling Releases Endorphins, Natural Pain Killers and Serotonin
Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. Together these three make us feel good. Smiling is a natural drug.


8. Smiling Lifts the Face and Makes You Look Younger
The muscles we use to smile lift the face, making a person appear younger. Don't go for a face lift, just try smiling your way through the day -- you'll look younger and feel better. 


9. Smiling Makes You Seem Successful
Smiling people appear more confident, are more likely to be promoted, and more likely to be approached. Put on a smile at meetings and appointments and people will react to you differently.


10. Smiling Helps You Stay Positive
Try this test: Smile. Now try to think of something negative without losing the smile. It's hard. When we smile our body is sending the rest of us a message that "Life is Good!" Stay away from depression, stress and worry by smiling.
