EN ESPANOL: Purificando el mundo
How do we purify the world?- asked a disciple.
Ibn al-Husayn replied:
– There was once a sheik in Damascus called Abu Musa al-Qumasi. Everyone honored him for his great wisdom, but no one knew whether he was a good man.
“One afternoon, a construction fault caused the house where the sheik lived with his wife, to collapse. The desperate neighbors began to dig the ruins; eventually, they managed to locate the sheik’s wife.
“She said: “Don’t worry about me. First save my husband, who was sitting somewhere over there.”
“The neighbors removed the rubble from the area she indicated, and found the sheik. He said: “Don’t worry about me. First save my wife, who was lying somewhere over there.”
“When someone acts as this couple did, she/he is purifying the whole world.”

Hi, nice 10 seconds text. I like it a lot.
yes indeed…hope n pray that i can say those lines from the core of my heart.
La reaccion de dicha pareja es unicamente “AMOR” ….. sin amor , nada se logra y todo es negativo….. y , en muchas ocaciones una catastrofe logra reaccionar a las peronas el amor que esta muy escondido!!!!
muchos creen que el mundo se purifica atraves de no contaminarlo con quimicos y sin destruir la naturaleza y toda su bellesa , pero mas aun salvariamos al mundo con simples actitudes como el matrimo~o de esta historia , pensando primero en el otro y luego en nosotros mismos .
vivimos en un mundo donde la individualidad prima por sobre todas las cosas y debemos aprender a mirar acia nuestro costado y entender que podemos salvar este mundo entregando mas amor y respeto por los demas y por nosotros mismos
“stories sre very greate….
love is always pure n love is only the source of reality…”
“Sometimes,’ said Pooh, ‘the smallest things take up the most room in your heart.”
- A.A. Milne
10 seconds can make a huge difference. Thankyou, best wishes for the day.

Indeed, acts like these are “purifiers” in a world where selfishness and self-centeredness have become a norm… a way of life.
German Translation/Deutsche Übersetzung
Die Reinigung der Welt
Wie reinigen wir die Welt? – fragte ein Schüler.
Ibn al-Husain sagte:
- Es war einmal ein Scheich in Damaskus genannt Abu Musa al-Qumasi. Jeder ehrte ihn für seine große Weisheit, aber niemand wusste, ob er ein guter Mann war.
Eines Nachmittags, verursachte einen Konstruktionsfehler des Hauses, in welchem der Scheich mit seiner Frau lebte, den Einsturz des Hauses. Die verzweifelten Nachbarn begannen in den Ruinen zu graben; schließlich gelang es ihnen, die Frau des Scheichs der Frau zu finden.
Sie sagte:” Mach euch keine Sorgen um mich. Rettet zuerst meinen Mann, der irgendwo da drüben gesessen ist. ”
Die Nachbarn entfernten die Trümmer aus dem Bereich den sie gezeigt hatte, und fanden den Scheich. Er sagte: “Mach euch keine Sorgen um mich. Rettet zuerst meine Frau, die irgendwo dort drüben gelegen ist ”
Wenn jemand handelt wie es dieses Paar getan hat, hat sie / er die ganze Welt gereinigt.
Thank you dear Paulo <3

Proof of people’s selfishness.
Paolo, I can’t say in words how much I appreciate your readings. You really have something special and I am amazed. God Bless you!!

The story is beautiful. And I love it. But one thought I would want to comment. Of course I know how it is meant, it is not wrong to think of others first. But I would not generalize. If on an airplane oxygen masks fall, then take yours first, then take care of the rest. I think a lot depends on the situation.
I wish you all a wonderful day
Another beautiful story..
Two deers were roaming the forest very thirstily… Finally after lot of search, male deer found little later in a pool and happily called the female drink asking her to drink first.. She seeing that there was so little water in the pool told “No you drink” first. Finally, they both agreed both they will drink together. But after a while also, the water in the pool remained same without reducing a bit..
That is because, both the deers were acting as if they are drinking thinking “Let the other deer drink”….
what a wonderful story!!! thank you for sharing!
love and gratitude
Annie
NICE STORY SIRIDEVI …WHER R U FROM ..WHT U DO?
When each of us realises that we are all one, the world would be purified… The darkness that makes us look separate shall be removed with the light of love!
Love
In Swedish:
10 SEKUNDERS LÄSNING: Att rena världen
Hur renar vi världen -? Frågade en lärjunge.
Ibn al-Husayn svarade:
- Det var en gång en shejk i Damaskus som kallas Abu Musaal-Qumasi. Alla hedrade honom för hans stora visdom, men ingen visste om han egentligen var en god människa.
“En eftermiddag, orsakade ett konstruktionsfel i huset där shejken bodde med sin fru, att det kollapsade. De desperata grannarna började gräva i ruinerna och till slut lyckades de hitta schejkens fru.
“Hon sa:” Oroa er inte för mig. Rädda först min man, som satt där borta någonstans. ”
“Grannarna rensade bort spillrorna från område hon visat och hittade schejken. Han sa: “Oroa er inte för mig. Rädda först min fru, som låg någonstans där borta. ”
“När någon agerar som detta par gjorde, renar hon/ han hela världen.”

pure and true love. when your love is pure and true you care about not just yourself but with others. How it cleanses the world? By having a pure heart, pure love comes from a pure heart.
This is similar to the following story:
Husband and wife were very poor and had no money to donate gifts for wedding anniversary. Without knowing her husband, she sold her long thick hair and bought a bracelet for her husband’s favorite watch. The husband, in turn, sold his watch to buy a comb for his beloved wife.
Really touching story, which helps me to appreciate the small gestures in my family life :)
How nice……………..!!!!! heart touching story………how i wish i can have someone special that’s true forever until the end
heart touching… i wish we all had this kind of great love once in our life… :)
Yes Love pure Love
translation in Japanese:
世界を浄化する方法
「私たちはどうすれば世界を浄化する事ができるのでしょうか？」 弟子は尋ねた。
弟子の問いに対しイブン・アル・フセインはこのように答えた：
- ダマスカスにアブ・ムーサ・アルクマシという名の族長が居た。
彼はとても知恵のある長として人々は敬意をはらっていたのだが、彼がはたして善人なのかどうかは誰にも分からなかった。
ある日の午後、建て付けが悪かったせいで、彼と彼の妻と住んでいた家が倒壊してしまった。
村人達は倒壊した家を掘り起こすと、族長の妻を見つける事ができた。
彼女は言った「私の事は心配しないでください。それよりも早く私の夫を探してください」
村人達がさらに瓦礫を除けていくと、族長も見つかった。
彼は言った「ワシの事は心配するな、それよりも早く妻を捜し出してくれ」
この夫婦のように人が行動する時、人は全世界を浄化している。
Unfortunately, those are rare in the world especially in our time!!!
the love that manifest in each of this couple radiates to cleanse the word.
i think love brings out my worst and good side but i wonder how does it cleanses me or the world….
I am just amazed by these ’10 second reads’. Its just the name, but really they relate to whole life, and yes they are wonderful!
unconditional Love, just Love..
si es refrescante leer esta historia ,especialmente en estos ultimos tiempos en donde el individualismo y los egos agrandados imperan, casi nadia pode en primer lugar a su vecino, solo el yo, solo yo soy importante,
Impresionante lección de humanidad, me encantó.
There’s a true story just like that in Islamic history. I do not know the exact date but there was a war going on and one warrior got injured and cried for water. There was a man in the battle field with a “Sabeel” (a leather bag full of water)he approached to him; before he gave him water a cry “water” came from nearby. The warrior refused to drink and asked the man to give water first to the other wounded warrior.
The man went to other wounded warrior and offered him water. Suddenly a cry “water” came from nearby and the second warrior rejected to drink and requested to give it to the third one first.
Same happened again and the third asked for the fourth one.
When the water man reached the fourth person he was dead. He came back to the third; he was dead. He came back to the second; he was dead and in the last the first one was dead too.
