Heaven and Hell

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said,” Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in. In the middle of the room was a large round table. In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly. They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, "You have seen Hell." They went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man...

Ayodhya Issue

Indian Shia Cleric Comes up With a Peaceful Way Out Noted Shia cleric and vice-president of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) Maulana Kalbe Sadiq said he has an "option" for the amicable settlement of the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri mosque dispute. "I will put the option before the AIMPLB after the judicial verdict on September 24 and the situation cools down," said Maulana Sadiq, addressing a seminar on Wednesday. "I am hopeful the Board would accept the option." Otherwise, he has another option, for which he would take an initiative himself, the Maulana said.

Asked whether his idea has not come rather late in the day, he said: "I can’t help it. I keep thinking on impor...
