| [slm] Please help me, Insha Allah. A Muslima has graduated from Highschool. Iam going to make a collection of beautiful handmade book markers for her college books as a gift. I am not a reader of poetry. Do you have any cool inspirational poems, sayings, short enough for a bookmark? please add the authors name. Rumi, Iqbal....any is ok. I am also looking for Hadith and Ayats. Jazak Allahu Khirun |

| [slm] Jannah...can I have the link to your quotes page? I could not find it by search. Whoever wants to be a leader should educate himself before educating others. Before preaching to others he should first practice himself. Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals is superior to the man who tries to teach and train others. -Ali (R.A.) "Acquire knowledge, it enables its professor to distinguish right from wrong; it lights the way to heaven. It is our friend in the desert, our company in solitude and companion when friendless. It guides us to happiness, it sustains us in misery, it is an ornament amongst friends and an armor against enemies." Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Upon Him)) "Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph." Haile Selassie "O Lord, grant me your love, grant me that I love those who love you; grant me, that I might do the deeds that win your love. Make your love dearer to me than the love of myself, my family and wealth." (Tirmidhi) Intelligence is constantly a function of the spirit: when the latter no longer possesses its purity, the former no longer has its depth. - Malik Bennabi "Those who believe, and whose hearts find satisfaction in the remembrance of Allah: for without doubt in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find satisfaction." Surah: 13: 28. "The greatest start of Knowledge is to listen and remain silent, then to memorise it, then to act upon it, then to spread it." Muhammad ibn an-Nadr “Indeed righteousness illuminates the heart, radiates the face, strengthens the body, increases provision, and produces a love in the hearts of the creation for that person. ibn Abbaas "A person who goes in search of knowledge, he is in the path of God and he remains so till he returns." Tirmizi, "When my servants ask you concerning Me, I am indeed close (to them): I respond to the prayer of every supplicant when he calls on Me: let them also, with a will, listen to my call, and believe in Me: that they may walk in the right way"[al-Baqarah,v.186]. "Let those who choose to stray, stray. We, on our part have lit the lamp during darkness, and we will keep the flame burning"-Maulana Maududi If the other person laughs at you, you can pity him; but if you laugh at him you may never forgive yourself. If the other person injures you, you may forget the injury; but if you injure him you will always remember. In truth the other person is your most sensitive self given another body. -Kahlil Gibran There is a world beyond the stars >There are more tests in life yet to come >The weathers/atmosphere is not tied to this life/phase >there are thousands of caravans in this life yet to come >Don’’t be satisfied with this life of fragrance and color >There are many more gardens , many more skies yet to come >Don’’t be sad that one nest is lost >There many more pains and laments yet to come >You are an eagle your job is to fly >there are many more skies in front of you yet to come >Do not get lost in the mundane of this life >there are many more lands many more destinations yet to come Iqbal "The word a-shams (the sun) is feminine, and qamar (moon) is masculine. The sun burns itself to give light and life to everything around, and the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light. Within itself it has no light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our women. --- Shaikh Abdullah Adhami |

| [slm] [i]Just for the record...[/i] Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air. You name them - Work, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls, Family, Health, Friends and Spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in our life. wassalam |

| as salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah, Courage is not limited to the battlefield or the Indianapolis Five Hundred or bravely catching a thief in your house... the real tests of courage are much quieter. They are the inner tests, like remaining faithful when nobody's looking, like enduring pain when the room is empty, like standing alone when you're misunderstood, like fighting for what's right even when you know you'll lose. those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dream with open eyes, to make all they vision possible. You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life? -- Rumi When the tide of life turns against you And the current upsets your boat Don't waste tears on what might have been Just lie on your back and float It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward. A ship in a harbor is safe, but that's not why ships were made. We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails. more @ jannah.org/shazia/wordplay.html wasalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullah :-) |

| Nothing else ruins the truth like stretching it. If you follow the greater majority on earth they would lead you astray. They follow nothing but the conjectures of others and mislead those who follow them. Your Lord knows best who stray from the path of Truth; He knows best who are rightly guided. -Qur'an, Al-An'am, Surah 6:117-18Translated [slm] :-) |
