Be Careful What You Say to your Horse!

An Imam was selling his horse in the market. An interested buyer came to him and requested if he could get a test drive. The Imam told the man that this horse is unique. In order to make it walk, you have to say Subhanallah. To make it run, you have to say Alhamdulillah and to make it stop, you have to say Allahu Akbar. The man sat on the horse and said Subhanallah. The horse started to walk. Then he said Alhamdulillah and it started to run. He kept saying Alhamdulillah and the horse started running faster and faster. All of a sudden the man noticed that the horse is running towards the edge of the hill that he was riding on. Being overly fearful, he forgot how to stop the horse. He kept saying all these words out of confusion. When the horse was just near the edge, he remembered Allahu Akbar and said it out loud. The horse stopped just one step away from the edge. The man took a deep breath, looked up towards the sky and said Alhamdulillah!

The Amanah of Leadership....

Why we should fear being leaders today, rather than selling our souls to have power and privilege. And, why we should never fall for the line that sins are excusable if and when they are committed in the name of politics (which we hear so often in Malaysia)....

Narrated Ma'qil:

I heard the Prophet saying, "Any man whom Allah has given the authority of ruling some people and he does not look after them in an honest manner, will never feel even the smell of Paradise." (Bukhari)

"He who hires a person and knows that there is another one who is more qualified than him has betrayed Allah and His Prophet and the Muslims.” (Bukhari)

"Whoever is in charge of running Muslim affairs and hires a person on the basis of nepotism has deserved the curse of Allah and will not accept whatever justice he does beyond that." (Muslim)

And the list goes on....
