Pearls of Wisdom

Hadith: “Value five things before five, youth before old age, health before sickness, wealth before poverty, leisure before preoccupation, and life before death.”

"If you don't have the strength to kill the bear, use the strength of the bear to kill it. "

Abu al-‘Abbas ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas, radiyallahu anhuma, reported: One day I was behind the Prophet, sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam, and he said to me:

"O young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice] : Be mindful of Allah, and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you (have need to) ask, ask of Allah; and if you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that even if the Nation (or the whole community) were to gather together to benefit you with something, they would not benefit you with anything except that which Allah has already recorded for you, and that if they gather together to harm you with something, they would not be able to harm you with anything except that which Allah has already recorded against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried."
[Al-Tirmidhi relates this and says: It is a good, genuine Hadith]

"Even a stopped watch shows the correct time twice a day."

"If you want to create an apple pie from scratch, you will first have to create the universe." - Carl Sagan, Author

"He who fears to weep, should learn to be kind to those who weep. " - Abu Bakr Siddiq
