A word of Appreciation will suffice A scholar one day related a very wonderful event. He said that among his acquaintances, there was a couple who used to visit his study-circle to learn about islam. One day, both of them invited him to a dinner at their house. It was the habit of respected scholar to utter at the end of the feast a few words of praise in favour of the lady who cooked the food just to encourage and please her. The lady who had prepared the food came and stood behind the curtain and greeted him. After replying to the greeting, the scholar uttered a few words of praise and appreciation about the quality and taste of the food and the art of cooking. He heard the woman sobbing from behind the screen. It was disturbing. Was there anything in the scholars words that pinched her? On being asked to state the cause of her grief and sobbing, she said, "I have been living with my husband for the last forty two years, but during this long period of association, I never heard from him a word of appreciation about my cooking. When I heard these words from you sir, I could not control myself from sobbing." I hope married brothers and the intending ones will take a lesson from this.
