Short moral stories
since no one ever tried doing something like this around here i thought i would. Please dedicate this thread to short moral stories we know and share with the rest of the forumers, cool?
i will start
Love and Time
once upon a time, there was an island where all the feelings lived: Happiness, Sadness, Knowledge, and all of the others, including Love. One day it was announced to the feelings that the island would sink, so all constructed boats and left. Except for Love
love was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold out until the last possible moment
when the island had almost sunk, Love decided to ask for help
richness was passing by Love in a grand boat. Love said,
"Richness, can you take me with you?"
Richness answered, "No, I can't. There is a lot of gold and silver in my boat. There is no place here for you"
love decided to ask Vanity who was also passing by in a beautiful vessel. "Vanity, please help me!"
"I can't help you, Love. You are all wet and might damage my boat," Vanity answered
sadness was close by so Love asked, "Sadness, let me go with you."
"Oh . . . Love, I am so sad that I need to be by myself!"
happiness passed by Love, too, but she was so happy that she did not even hear when Love called her
suddenly, there was a voice, "Come, Love, I will take you." It was an elder. So blessed and overjoyed, Love even forgot to ask the elder where they were going. When they arrived at dry land, the elder went her own way. Realizing how much was owed the elder,
love asked Knowledge, another elder, "Who Helped me?"
"It was Time," Knowledge answered.
"Time?" asked Love. "But why did Time help me?"
Knowledge smiled with deep wisdom and answered, "Because only Time is capable of understanding how valuable Love is"

Re: Short moral stories
that story's dumb.. why didnt knowledge help
i got a better story: One day in a land far far away a lil boy was bored so he decided to shout 'wolf WOLF.. help' so all the people in the land came rushing to help but when they got there all they saw was the lil boy laughing. The next day the lil boy thought it would be funny to do the same thing again so he shouted 'WOLF.. HELP' and once again the people came to help but this time they got vexed and said 'never again' the next day the lil boy saw a wolf for real but when he shouted no one believed him and his dead body was found later.
the moral to this story is: once you're known as a liar..no one will believe you

Thirst for Learning
Hadhrat Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says:
"After the passing away of the Prophet (peace be upon him), I said to an Ansari friend of mine: ‘The Prophet is not now with us. But a large number of Sahabah are still among us. Let us go to them and get knowledge of the Islamic practices.’ He said: ' Who is going to approach you for learning a regulation in the presence of these eminent Sahabah?' I was not discouraged. I kept up my quest for knowledge and approached every person who was supposed to have heard something from the Prophet. I managed to gather substantial information from the Ansar. If on my visit to someone of the Sahabah, I found him asleep, I spread my shawl at the gate and sat waiting. Sometimes my face and body would get covered with dust, but I kept sitting till they woke and I was able to contact them.
Some of them said: 'Abdullah you are the cousin of the Prophet; you could have sent for us. Why did you take the trouble of coming to our places?' I said to them: 'I must come to you, for I am a student and you are my teachers.' Some people for whom I had waited said: 'Since when have you been waiting for us?' I informed them that I had been sitting there for
a pretty long time. They said: 'What a pity! You could have awakened us from our sleep.' I said: 'I did not like to disturb you for my own sake.' I thus carried
on my pursuits, till there came a time when people began to flock to me for
learning. My Ansari friend realized this at that time and remarked: 'This boy
has surely proved himself more sensible than us.'"

Story of the man who killed 99
[A true account from ahadith]
Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (ra) reported Allah's Messenger (scw) was saying:
There was a person before you who had killed ninety-nine persons and then made an inquiry about the learned persons of the world (who could show him the way to salvation). He was directed to a monk. He came to him and told him that he had killed ninety-nine persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted.
He said: No.
He killed him also and thus completed one hundred.
He then asked about the learned persons of the earth and he was directed to a scholar, and he told him that he had killed one hundred persons and asked him whether there was any scope for his repentance to be accepted.
He said: Yes; what stands between you and the repentance?
You better go to such and such land; there are people devoted to prayer and worship and you also worship along with them and do not come to the land of yours since it was an evil land (for you).
So he went away and he had hardly covered half the distance when death came to him and there was a dispute between the angels of mercy and the angels of punishment.
The angels of mercy said: This man has come as a penitant and remorseful to Allah and the angels of punishment said: He has done no good at all. Then there came another angel in the form of a human being in order to decide between them. He said: You measure the land to which he has drawn near. They measured it and found him nearer to the land where he intended to go (the land of piety), and so the angels of mercy took possession of it.
Qatada(ra) said that Hasan(ra) told him that it was said to them that as death approached him, he crawled upon his chest (and managed) to slip in the land of mercy
