is very, very rude!

From each and every mouthful
you pop inside your mouth

he yums some up like crazy
of that there is no doubt!

But when you say "Bismillah"
he hates it, and runs away

because he knows you love Allah
and His Prophet* you obey.

However, if you do forget, say
"Bismillah in its beginning and end"
and that shaytan of yours will vomit
and you'll have made amends!

*Praise and peace be upon him.

One day, a very hungry man sat down to eat in front of the Prophet, praise and peace be upon
him, and forgot to say Bismillah. It wasn't until he was just about to pop the last handful of food
into his mouth, that he remembered so he quickly said: "Bismillah in its beginning and end". The
Prophet had been watching him and when he heard him say this he told him that until that
moment he had seen shaytan eating his food with him, but as soon as shaytan heard him say
"Bismillah in its beginning and end" he vomited and ran away!

AROUND EVERY CORNER

Around every corner
at each and every bend,

lurks that wicked shaytan who pretends
to be your friend.

Sometimes he whispers in your ear
"Do it, it can't hurt!"

You listen and you do it then realize
he's nothing but a jerk!

For what you did seemed nearly OK
at that moment in time

but it was shaytan's wickedness
that tricked your little mind!

Yes, shaytan does try to trick us but we can't lay the blame on him when we do something by
saying "Shaytan made me do it". We must be responsible for what we do and think before we do
it, after all we must remember that shaytan is very happy when we do something wrong because
he does not want us to go to Paradise.

PLEASE AND THANK YOU

There are three little words

and although they're only small
they help you and others

to feel at least ten feet tall.

Those words are "please" and "thank you"
they always bring a smile

and make you think nice thoughts
and chase of shaytan's guile.

A smile is also charity

it softens a hardened heart

and makes for happy memories
when you're far apart.

These little things are simple
they help the world go round

and one good thing leads to another
and banishes a frown.

Unkind words are destructive
they let shaytan in

and lead you down a path
that more often leads to sin!
Be kind to others around you,

spare a thought for their needs

and never, ever, forget to say "thank you"
and always ask with "please".

Prophet Muhammad, praise and peace be upon him, taught us to say "Bismillah" before we start
to do something, he
