كعب بن زهير بن أبي سلمى

بَانَتْ سُعَادُ فَقَلْبِي الْيَوْمَ مُتَبْولُ
وَمَا سُعَادُ غَدَاةَ الْبَيْنِ إذْ رَحَلُوا
هَيْفَاءُ مُقْبِلَةً عَجْزَاءُ مُدْبِرَةً
تَجْلُو عَوَارِضَ ذِي ظَلْمٍ إذَا ابْتَسَمَتْ
شُجّتْ بِذِي شَيَمٍ مِنْ مَاءِ مَحْنِيَةٍ
تَنْفِي الرّيَاحُ الْقَذَى عَنْهُ وَأَفْرَطَهُ
فَيَالَهَا خُلّةً لَوْ أَنّهَا صَدَقَتْ

Definition of Sufism


Definition of Sufism
Why is it called by this name? The word Sufism is taken from a Greek word 'Sophia' meaning wisdom. It is also said that it is a word referring to the wearing of woollen (soof) clothing, and this saying is the most probable since wearing woollen clothes was a sign of Zuhd (abstemiousness/disassociation from the worldly life). It was said that this was done in order to resemble 'Eesaa ibn Maryam 'alaihis-salaam. Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah rahimahullaah, mentionsin al-Fataawaa (11/7) from Muhammad ibn Seereen [A Famous tabi'ee who died in the year 110H] that it reached him that a certain people had taken to wearingwoollen clothes in order to resemble 'Eesaa ibn Maryam, so he said: “There are a people who have chosen and preferred the wearing of woollen clothes, claiming that they want to resemble al-Maseeh ibn Maryam. But the way of our Prophet is more beloved to us, and the Prophet 􀁕 used to wear cotton and other garments.”

Men have always been interested in the world, their environment, whatever a like to call it. We see in the world of objects, sights and sound, many things that are pleasant and agreeable, and  many things that we think to be evil. Ancient philosophers have preached that everything has some purpose of good, although we may not be able to see it clearly.

Science and Human Happiness


INTRODUCTION
Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being characterized by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.[1] A variety of biological, psychological, religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources. Various research groups, including positive psychology, endeavor to apply the scientific method to answer questions about what "happiness" is, and how it might be attained.
Philosophers and religious thinkers often define happiness in terms of living a good life, or flourishing, rather than simply as an emotion. Happiness in this sense was used to translate the Greek Eud aimonia, and is still used in virtue ethics. Happiness economics suggests that measures of public happiness should be used to supplement more traditional economic measures when evaluating the success of public policy.

Manners maketh man


In the 14th century, Willyam of  Wykeham, Bischop of  Winchester, founded two great educational institutions: New Colledge, oxford and the Great Public School at Winchester. He have to both the same motto: Manners Maketh man. In those days the word manners did not mean mere out ware behaviour, as it does now, but we should call god conduct or morality. By this motto the wise Bishop means that it is good moral conduct based on sound moral principles that’s makes a man. So he did not regard education as the mere getting of knowledge and mental training, but mainly as moral training. In others words, he recognized that the only things that really matters in life was character.
This being so, moral education is all important. From their earliest years children must be thought the difference between right and wrong , and trained to love and follow what is right and hate and avoid what is wrong. Such training means the formation of character on right lines. Its object is to bring children up in such a way that they will grow up to be truth-loving, honest, brave, pure minded, and unselfish men and women.

Experience is the best teacher



Outline :
1)      Experience teacher a person how to live
2)      People learn every aspect of life by experience (a) young people (b) older people
3)      It is person himself who makes the lessons of experience pleasant or unpleasant.

            Experience, as everybody knows is the best teacher. It is direct personal participation or observation.it is also called as the totality of a person’s perceptions, feeling, and memories. Some experts said that experience is aparticular incident and feeling that a person has undergone. Experience may also be defined as the totality of characteristics, both past and present that make up the particular quality of a person, place or people. Its main aim is to teach every human being how to live in this world. And no body can teach this life as well as the experience can.
The parable of an experience is like a stern schoolmistress, who sets hard lessons, punishes severally who are inattentive and stupid, and changes very high fees. The experience teacher a life in a way as through as possible. And finally every one never forgets its lessons.
The worst situation is that a person sometimes learns its lessons too late. For example, a man who breaks all the rules of health in his youth by self indulgence and vice, learnt at last, when his health is wrecked for life the right way of living. In this regard, surely, too late to be of any use to him. It may be that human being should be glad to learn how to live the advice of the elders. But how many young people do not. They scoff at warnings and advice. But they go by their own ways. For instance, a person may forbid a child against playing with matches, but he never believes him until he scorches his hands. And finally, the bumt child dreads the fire.
