"The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"
A woman baked chapatti (roti) for members of her family and an extra one for a hungry passerby. She kept the extra chapatti on the window sill, for whosoever would take it away. Every day, a hunchback came and took away the chapatti. Instead of expressing gratitude, he muttered the following words as he went his way: "The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" This went on, day after day. Every day, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and uttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" The woman felt irritated. "Not a word of gratitude," she said to herself...
"Everyday this hunchback utters this jingle! What does he mean?" One day, exasperated, she decided to do away with him. "I shall get rid of this hunchback," she said. And what did she do? She added poison to the chapatti she prepared for him! As she was about to keep it on the window sill, her hands trembled. "What is this I am doing?" she said. Immediately, she threw the chapatti into the fire, prepared another one and kept it on the window sill. As usual, the hunchback came, picked up the chapatti and muttered the words: "The evil you do, remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!" The hunchback proceeded on his way, blissfully unaware of the war raging in the mind of the woman.
Every day, as the woman placed the chapatti on the window sill, she offered a prayer for her son who had gone to a distant place to seek his fortune. For many months, she had no news of him.. She prayed for his safe return. That evening, there was a knock on the door. As she opened it, she was surprised to find her son standing in the doorway. He had grown thin and lean. His garments were tattered and torn. He was hungry, starved and weak. As he saw his mother, he said, "Mom, it's a miracle I'm here. While I was but a mile away, I was so famished that I collapsed. I would have died, but just then an old hunchback passed by. I begged of him for a morsel of food, and he was kind enough to give me a whole chapatti. As he gave it to me, he said, "This is what I eat everyday: today, I shall give it to you, for your need is greater than mine!" " As the mother heard those words, her face turned pale.
She leaned against the door for support. She remembered the poisoned chapatti that she had made that morning. Had she not burnt it in the fire, it would have been eaten by her own son, and he would have lost his life! It was then that she realized the significance of the words:
"The evil you do remains with you: The good you do, comes back to you!"
Do good and Don't ever stop doing good, even if it is not appreciated at that time.
If you like this, share it with others and I bet so many lives would be touched.

25 Manners Every Kid Should Know By Age 9
Helping your child master these simple rules of etiquette will get him noticed -- for all the right reasons.
Your child's rude 'tude isn't always intentional. Sometimes kids just don't realize it's impolite to interrupt, pick their nose, or loudly observe that the lady walking in front of them has a large behind. And in the hustle and bustle of daily life, busy moms and dads don't always have the time to focus on etiquette. But if you reinforce these 25 must-do manners, you'll raise a polite, kind, well-liked child.-
Manner #1
When asking for something, say "Please."
Manner #2:When receiving something,say "Thank you."
Manner #3: Do not interrupt grown-ups who are speaking with each other unless there is an emergency. They will notice you and respond when they are finished talking.
Manner #4: If you do need to get somebody's attention right away, the phrase "excuse me" is the most polite way for you to enter the conversation.
Manner #5: When you have any doubt about doing something, ask permission first. It can save you from many hours of grief later.
Manner #6: The world is not interested in what you dislike. Keep negative opinions to yourself, or between you and your friends, and out of earshot of adults.
Manner #7
Do not comment on other people's physical characteristics unless, of course, it's to compliment them, which is always welcome.
Manner #8:When people ask you how you are, tell them and then ask them how they are.
Manner #9:When you have spent time at your friend's house, remember to thank his or her parents for having you over and for the good time you had.
Manner #10:Knock on closed doors -- and wait to see if there's a response -- before entering.
Manner #11:When you make a phone call, introduce yourself first and then ask if you can speak with the person you are calling.
Manner #12:Be appreciative and say "thank you" for any gift you receive.
Manner #13:Never use foul language in front of adults. Grown-ups already know all those words, and they find them boring and unpleasant.
Manner #14:Don't call people mean names.
Manner #15: Do not make fun of anyone for any reason. Teasing shows others you are weak, and ganging up on someone else is cruel.
Manner #16: Even if a play or an assembly is boring, sit through it quietly and pretend that you are interested. The performers and presenters are doing their best.
Manner #17:If you bump into somebody, immediately say "Excuse me."
Manner #18:Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze, and don't pick your nose in public.
Manner #19:As you walk through a door, look to see if you can hold it open for someone else.
Manner #20:If you come across a parent, a teacher, or a neighbor working on something, ask if you can help. If they say "yes," do so -- you may learn something new.
Manner #21:When an adult asks you for a favor, do it without grumbling and with a smile.
Manner #22:When someone helps you, say "thank you." That person will likely want to help you again. This is especially true with teachers!
Manner #23:Use eating utensils properly. If you are unsure how to do so, ask your parents to teach you or watch what adults do.
Manner #24: Keep a napkin on your lap; use it to wipe your mouth when necessary.
Manner #25: Don't reach for things at the table; ask to have them passed.

HOLY QUR'AN
verse 13 of Surah Al Hujurat
the translation of which reads:-
'O ye who believe!avoid most of suspicions;
for suspicion in some cases is a sin.
And spy not,nor back-bite one another.
Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his brother who is dead ?Certainly you would loathe it.
And fear Allah,
surely,Allah is Oft-Returning with compassion and is Merciful.' .
The Qur'an clearly states that they are satanic ways.
'O ye who believe!
intoxicants and games of chance and idols and divining arrows are only an abomination of Satan's handiwork.
So shun each one of them that you may prosper.
Satan desires only to create enmity and hatred among you by means of intoxicants and games of chance, and to keep you back from the remembrance of Allah and from Prayer.
But will you keep back ?'
Holy QUR'AN (5:91-92).
Bismillahi ar-Rahmani ar-Raheem
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
BE CAREFUL WHO YOU CALL A KAFIR
Prophet Muhammad (Salalaho alehe wasalam) said : If a person says to his brother, O KAFIR (disbeliever) ! Then surely one of them is such. (i.e; Kafir) (Sahih Bukhari Volume 8 Book 73 Number 125)
Prophet Muhammad (Salalaho alehe wasalam) said : Any person who calls his brother: O Unbeliever! (then the truth of this label) would return to one of them. If it is true, (then it is) as he asserted, (but if it is not true), then it returns to him (and thus the person who made the accusation is an Unbeliever). [Sahih Muslim Book 001, Number 0117:]
May Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'la) save all of us from uttering KUFRIA KALMAT. (Allahuma Ameen)
