Delivering a sermon
Once Nasreddin was invited to deliver a sermon. When he got on the pulpit, he asked, Do you know what I am going to say? The audience replied “no”, so he announced, I have no desire to speak to people who don’t even know what I will be talking about! and left.
The people felt embarrassed and called him back again the next day. This time, when he asked the same question, the people replied yes. So Nasreddin said, Well, since you already know what I am going to say, I won’t waste any more of your time! and left.
Now the people were really perplexed. They decided to try one more time and once again invited the Mulla to speak the following week. Once again he asked the same question – Do you know what I am going to say? Now the people were prepared and so half of them answered “yes” while the other half replied “no”.
So Nasreddin said Let the half who know what I am going to say, tell it to the half who don’t, and left.

Whom do you trust
A neighbour came to the gate of Mulla Nasreddin’s yard. The Mulla went to meet him outside.
“Would you mind, Mulla,” the neighbour asked, “lending me your donkey today? I have some goods to transport to the next town.”The Mulla didn’t feel inclined to lend out the animal to that particular man, however. So, not to seem rude, he answered:”I’m sorry, but I’ve already lent him to somebody else.
“All of a sudden the donkey could be heard braying loudly behind the wall of the yard.”But Mulla,” the neighbour exclaimed. “I can hear it behind that wall!
“”Who do you believe,” the Mulla replied indignantly. “The donkey or your Mulla?”

I like the jok thanks alot
Thank You, SARA.
BUT I repeat, ad nauseam, please do not send the same jokes again and again. Although, Mulla Nasruddin is a very famous figure in Islamic Literature, and it is a pleasure to read about him, but the duplication takes away the happiness.
You must develop a system that you do not send your matter twice to any recipient of yours!
Besides, you must build up a whole lot of a data bank on Mulla Nasruddin!
But thanks, all the same!
Zafar.
That is great stuff we’ll done Sara! Keep on it your jokes bring happiness which is priceless.

When I was a kid, my mom would prepare special breakfast every now and then. And I remember one night in particular, after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad.
I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: Honey, I love burned biscuits.
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him(…)

Burned Biscuits by Anonymous
When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work. On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school.
I don’t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I’ll never forget what he said: “Honey, I love burned biscuits.”
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said,
“Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she’s real tired. And besides
– a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!”
You know, life is full of imperfect things… and imperfect people. I’m
not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults – and choosing to celebrate each others differences – is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
You should learn to take the good, the bad, and the difficult parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He’s the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burned biscuit isn’t a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship!
“Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket – keep it in your own.” So please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burned one will do just fine!
And please pass this along to someone who has enriched your life… I just did. Life is too short to wake up with regrets. Love the people who treat you right and forget about the ones who don’t.
Excellent story! We should be considerate not make people embarrassed for their bad performance. In many case we may find unacceptable performance despite full motivation and highest level sincere efforts.
Dear Hisham: Salam. I am not expert in this regards. However, life consists of different dimensions primarily of physical, emotional and intellectual. The physical and emotional dimensions are necessary for all aspects of our lives but intellectual dimension is really responsible for performance. In our daily and societal lives, we need to lean to negotiate with others including family members to have win-win situation avoiding the unacceptable things or events. Conflict resolution is another aspect of our lives that need negotiation skills. Key to building a long lasting relation is to avoid negative criticism and praise as much as you can even for small work/task. Be proactive in all your activities and talks.
With My Best Regards,
