THE SECRET TO SUCCESS: STORY
.
Narrated BY ERIC THOMAS… Retold Ipsissima
Voce!
.
[b] There was this young man who wanted to be
successful, so he went to a sage to seek for
counsel. He told him he wanted to be on the same
level he is. So the sage said, if you want to be on
the same level I am, I’ll meet tomorrow at the
beach by 4am. The young man thought to himself,
‘hey, but I said I wanted to be successful and not
learn how to swim.’
.
However, the next day, the young man got to the
beach at the appointed time, already prepared with
his swimsuits on et al. The old man grabs his
hand and asked, ‘how bad do you want to be
successful?’ He replied that, ‘real bad.’
.
So the sage told to him walk into water. He did as
he was told until the water got to his waist. At this
point, he was thinking to himself, ’this old man
must be crazy. I told you I want to be successful
and not learn to be a lifeguard.’
.
Nonetheless, the sage instructed him to go in a
little further. He went deeper into the water, until it
got to his shoulder. The sage insisted that he go
further. He obliged until it got to his mouth. He
became scared and attempted to run back,
thinking ‘this man must be really out of his mind.’
.
The sage said, ‘I thought you said you wanted to
be successful.’ He replied, ‘I do.’ Then he told him
to walk a little further, and then suddenly, taking
the young man by surprise, he shoved his head
into the water and held him there.
.
The young man struggled to get out but the sage
was strong and held him down. Just before he
was about to pass out, he raised him up. The
young man immediately gasped and took short
sharp breaths.
.
Then the sage said, ‘I have a question for you…’
He said, ‘when you were under water, what did
want to do, what did you want most?’ The young
man replied, ‘I wanted to breathe.’ To which the
sage replied, ‘that is the secret of success. When
you want success as badly as you want to breathe,
then you will be successful. There is no other
secret.’
.
LESSON: Many of us claim we want to be
successful but we do not want it bad, we just kind
of want it. We do not want it as desperately as we
want to party, we do not want it as desperately as
we want to watch soccer games or as desperately
as we want to chat with our friends on BBM or
Whatsapp. And until we want with a burning
desire, and we sacrifice everything (our time,
money, family, leisure, friends, habits etc.) in order
to get, we may never get it. We have to want
success so badly that we refuse to sleep. We have
to desire greatness so badly that we forget to eat. [/b]

Things may come to those who wait, but only the
things left by those who hustle

Christianity EtcRe: Female Circumcision Is Barbaric And Evil. by TheProdigy(m): 11:40am On Nov 17, 2013
[b]Could you explain me what is the medical benefit
of girl’s circumcision?
.
Praise be to Allaah.
.
Just as Allaah has created mankind, He has also
guided them that which is best suited to their
interests in this world and in the Hereafter, so He
sent them Messengers and revealed Books to
guide mankind to what is good and urge them to
follow it, and to teach them what is evil and warn
them against it.
.
Islam may enjoin or forbid something and the
people – or most of them – may not be able to
see the wisdom behind this command or
prohibition. In that case we are obliged to obey the
command or heed the prohibition and to have
certain faith that the laws of Allaah are all good,
even if we cannot see the wisdom behind them.
Circumcision is one of the Sunnahs of the fitrah, as
is indicated by the words of the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him): "The fitrah
is five things – or five things are part of the fitrah
– circumcision, shaving the pubes, plucking the
armpit hairs, cutting the nails, and trimming the
moustache." narrated by al-Bukhaari (5889) and
Muslim (257).
.
Undoubtedly with regard to the Sunnahs of the
fitrah, some of the wisdom behind them is obvious,
and that includes circumcision. There are clear
benefits to it which we should pay attention to and
understand the wisdom behind it.
.
In the answer to question no. 9412 we have
discussed circumcision, how it is to be done and
the ruling on it. In the answer to question no. 7073
we have explained the health and shar’i benefits of
circumcision for males.
.
Circumcision is prescribed for both males and
females. The correct view is that circumcision is
obligatory for males and that it is one of the
symbols of Islam, and that circumcision of women
is mustahabb but not obligatory.
.
There are reports in the Sunnah which indicate that
circumcision for women is prescribed in Islam. In
Madeenah there was a woman who circumcised
women and the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said to her: “Do not go to the
extreme in cutting; that is better for the woman
and more liked by the husband.” Narrated by Abu
Dawood (5271), classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-
Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood .
.
Female circumcision has not been prescribed for
no reason, rather there is wisdom behind it and it
brings many benefits.
.
Mentioning some of these benefits, Dr. Haamid al-
Ghawaabi says:
.
The secretions of the labia minora accumulate in
uncircumcised women and turn rancid, so they
develop an unpleasant odour which may lead to
infections of the vagina or urethra. I have seen
many cases of sickness caused by the lack of
circumcision.
.
Circumcision reduces excessive sensitivity of the
clitoris which may cause it to increase in size to 3
centimeters when aroused, which is very annoying
to the husband, especially at the time of
intercourse.
.
Another benefit of circumcision is that it prevents
stimulation of the clitoris which makes it grow
large in such a manner that it causes pain.
Circumcision prevents spasms of the clitoris which
are a kind of inflammation.
Circumcision reduces excessive sexual desire.
.
Then Dr al-Ghawaabi refutes those who claim that
female circumcision leads to frigidity by noting:
Frigidity has many causes, and this claim is not
based on any sound statistics comparing
circumcised women with uncircumcised women,
except in the case of Pharaonic circumcision which is where the clitoris is excised completely.
.
This does in fact lead to frigidity but it is contrary to the kind of circumcision enjoined by the Prophet of mercy (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) when he said: “Do not destroy” i.e., do not uproot or excise. This alone is evidence that speaks for itself, because medicine at that time knew very little about this sensitive organ (the clitoris) and its nerves.
.
From Liwa’ al-Islam magazine, issue 8 and 10;
article entitled Khitaan al-Banaat (circumcision of
girls).
.
The female gynaecologist Sitt al-Banaat Khaalid
says in an article entitled Khitaan al-Banaat Ru’yah
Sihhiyyah (Female circumcision from a health point of view):
.
For us in the Muslim world female circumcision is,
above all else, obedience to Islam, which means
acting in accordance with the fitrah and following
the Sunnah which encourages it. We all know the
dimensions of Islam, and that everything in it must
be good in all aspects, including health aspects. If
the benefits are not apparent now, they will
become known in the future, as has happened with
regard to male circumcision – the world now
knows its benefits and it has become widespread
among all nations despite the opposition of some
groups.
.
Then she mentioned some of the health benefits of
female circumcision and said:
.
It takes away excessive libido from women
.
It prevents unpleasant odours which result from
.
foul secretions beneath the prepuce.
.
It reduces the incidence of urinary tract infections
.
It reduces the incidence of infections of the
reproductive system.
.
In the book on Traditions that affect the health of
women and children, which was published by the
World Health Organization in 1979 it says:
With regard to the type of female circumcision
which involves removal of the prepuce of the
clitoris, which is similar to male circumcision, no
harmful health effects have been noted.
.
And Allaah knows best. [/b]
