Painkillers and headaches

Remember when painkillers were kept in a glass bottle in the medicine cabinet? Maybe not. But back then, if you had a headache, you'd wait until you got home, open the dusty bottle, and swallow a white, powdery pill, which tasted disgusting. Now, when we have a headache, we don't wait. We pat our pockets, or dig into our bags. And if you don't have any on you, somebody else will. You sometimes see people taking the packets out in pubs and putting them on the table, next to their drinks. Then they take a pill, and wash it down with wine. And the thing is, the packets look nice. They look smart. There's no stigma. Why? Because the marketers got hold of them.

Eat, Fast and Live Longer

Michael Mosley has set himself a truly ambitious goal: he wants to live longer, stay younger and lose weight in the bargain. And he wants to make as few changes to his life as possible along the way. He discovers the powerful new science behind the ancient idea of fasting, and he thinks he's found a way of doing it that still allows him to enjoy his food. Michael tests out the science of fasting on himself - with life-changing results.

Psychopaths

They are incapable of feeling and having a conscience and they are in curable. So what is there purpose on life? :S

You need a conscience and emotions to worship Allah and live according to Islam, so how are they being judged? They are just doing whatever they want because they can and they have no fear of consequences or no concept of love.

Hmm maybe they will get rewarded for something good they do without even understanding it, just because they're ill and there's no other way for them to be.

Fasting Ramadan + 6 days of Shawwal is like fasting a lifetime!

Fasting Ramadan and the 6 days of Shawwal is like fasting for a lifetime:

Abu Ayyoob (Ra) reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

“Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah).

Subhanallah how generous is Allah who gives without measure!

We have until the 17th of Sepember to keep these 6 fasts so let us grab these immense rewards otherwise there will only be utter regret in the Hereafter.
