I’ve Learned…

I’ve learned -
that there are people who love you dearly,
but just don’t know how to show it.

I’ve learned –
that just because someone
doesn’t love you the way you want
them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love
you all they can.
 

I’ve learned –
that we don’t have to change friends
if we understand that friends change.

I’ve learned –
that two people can look
at the exact same thing
and see something totally different

I’ve learned -
that just because two people argue,
it doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue,
it doesn’t mean they do.

Sayings of Ali (ra)

November 27, 2007 at 2:44 pm | In Islam, Learning, Quotes | 14 Comments

*Your true friend is the one who participates in your efforts and for the sake of your gain is prepared to suffer losses.

*When a person cares not about three things, then separate from him even if the return is but a fistful of ashes. These are loyalty, willingness to spend, and guarding your secrets. Know the enemy of my friend is my enemy. And the friend of my enemy is my friend.”

*’Ilm (knowledge) without ‘Aql (intelligence) is like having shoes with no feet; and ‘Aql without ‘Ilm is like having feet with no shoes.

*Ignorance of a person is a death for him before his actual death. And his body is a grave before he is buried in his grave, because a person who has not received from ‘Ilm is a dead being. And he shall never be raised until the Last Day.

*The  Faqih is one who is Faqih due to his state, not the one known as Faqih due to his oratory and writings. 

*Knowledge is my Companion; it is with me everywhere I go. My heart is its container and not the bookshelf.

Compensated Vanity

October 27, 2007 at 11:47 am | In Non-Muslim, Patriarchy, Quotes, Women | 12 Comments

It is hardly surprising that women concentrate on the way they look instead of what is in their minds since not much has been put in their minds to begin with.
