![Return to Paradise]() Return to Paradise (1998)
IMDB rating: 6.70
Plot: Lewis, Sheriff and Tony are three American guys who meet and hang out one summer at the beach huts of Malaysia. There they enjoy the luxuries of women, rum and hashish. As the summer ends, Tony and Sheriff go back to New York, but Lewis decides to go to Borneo to help save the orangutan. But before he got the chance to leave, he was arrested for possession of the leftover hash and sentenced to death because he was considered to be trafficking. Two years go by and Sheriff and Tony are living their lives peacefully in The Big Apple when Lewis’ lawyer tells them the news: three years each if they both go, six years if one goes, Lewis’ death if neither go. Although they both do not want Lewis to die, they do not know him well enough to really want to sacrifice three years of their life to a Third-World prison. “Return to Paradise” watches Sheriff and Tony as they struggle to decide in the short period of time.

What do you think of this - A beautiful bowl, honey and a single hair.. ?
the prophet mohammed, may all peace and blessings bestow upon him, and his companions, abu bakr, omar, othman, and ali, may allah s.w.t grant them peace, gathered in ali’s (a.s) house. in his house, hadhrat ali’s wife, fatima (a.s), the princess of the messenger a.s.w.s, served honey in a beautiful bowl, and when a bowl of honey was served, a single hair was found in that bowl. the prophet mohammed a.s.w.s then asked all of his friends to make a comparison to those three things: the beautiful bowl, honey and the single hair.
abu bakr r.a. said, "faith is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, those who are faithful are sweeter than sweet honey, and to keep faith is more harder than to walk on this single hair".
omar r.a. said, "a kingdom is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, a king is sweeter than sweet honey, and to rule fairly and with justice is harder than to walk on this single hair".
othman r.a. said, "knowledge is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, knowledge seekers are sweeter than sweet honey, and to practice the knowledge gained is harder than to walk on this single hair".
ali r.a. said, "a guest is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, welcoming the guest is sweeter than sweet honey, and to please the guest until he returns home is harder than to walk on this single hair".
fatima r.a said, "a muslimah is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, a woman with a veil is sweeter than sweet honey, and to make the muslimah a man’s wife is harder than to walk on a single hair".
the prophet mohammed a.s.w.s said, "those who gain guidance from Allah s.w.t are more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, those who practice good deeds are sweeter than sweet honey, and practicing sincerely is harder than to walk on a single hair".
angel gabriel a.s said, "to uphold the pillars of religion is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, to surrender himself, his property, and his time for his religion is sweeter than sweet honey, and to sustain this until his death is harder than to walk on a single hair".
Allah s.w.t, the almighty, said, "My Paradise is more beautiful than this beautiful bowl, the bliss in My Paradise is sweeter than sweet honey, and walking towards My Paradise is harder than to walk on a single hair."
