Four Men entered a mosque and each busied himself in salah, humbly prostrating before Allah. Each one said the "Allahu Akhbar" after first having made his intention, and began to pray with humility. Meanwhile the Mu'adhdhin came in and gave the call to salah. The first man blurted out to the Mu'adhdhin, "Are you calling to the prayer? Is it the right time?" The second spoke on the spur of the moment, "You have wasted your salah by speaking during prayers." The third retorted, "Why did YOU speak? Tell yourself how to behave!" The fourth mumbled, "Praise be to Allah! I wasn't a party to their arguments." Thus all the four broke their solat and wasted it. The fault-finders went more astray than the one who made the orginal mistake. Moral of the story: Correct oneself before correcting others!
Forgive Him Who Wrongs You;
Join Him Who Cuts You Off;
Do Good To Him Who Does Evil To You;
And Speak The Truth Even If It Be Against Yourself.

All the ones that interrupted the prayer are in the wrong. Stuff like this does occur you when praying sunnats: I'm tryin to get sawab from the Almighty and some retards screw it all up.
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)

Jazakallahu Khayr.
I thought my post was very dignified... and I purposefully used words of more than two syllables so the seppos wouldn't get offended, just confused.
Khyr.
Anyway - back on the thread subject, Rumi has a deliciously subtle sense of humour, laced with equal measures of subtlety in the message. It loses a lot in translation, but in it's original language works on a number of levels. If you get the chance to lose yourself in his works for a few hours you will be very well rewarded...
Really it was a story? Cause I never heard it before!
