Life
The happiest people in the world are not those
who have no problems, but those who learn to live
with things that are less than perfect.
5. Right Speech:
There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that
'a speech will either prosper or ruin a nation.' Many relationships
break off because of wrong speech. When a couple is too close
with each other, we always forget mutual respect and courtesy.
We may say anything without considering if it would hurt
the other party.
A women and her millionaire husband visited their construction site.
A worker who wore a helmet saw her and shouted, 'Hi, Emily!
Remember me? We were friends in the secondary school.'
On the way home, her millionaire husband teased her,
'Luckily you married me. Otherwise you will be the wife of
a construction worker.' She answered, 'You should appreciate
that you married me. Other wise, he will be the millionaire
and not you.'
A little girl asked her father, 'How did the human race appear?'
The father answered, 'Allah (SWT) made Adam and Eve and
they had children and so was all mankind made.' Two days later
the girl asked her mother the same question. The mother answered,
'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.'
The confused girl returned to her father and said, 'Daddy how is
it possible that you told me the human race was created by Allah (SWT),
and mother said they developed from monkeys?' The father answered,
'Well, dear, it is very simple. I told you about my side of the family
and your mother told you about hers.'
Frequently exchanging these remarks plants the seed for a
bad relationship. It's like a broken egg - cannot be reversed.
6. Personal Perception:
Different people have different perception. One man's meat
could be another man's poison.
Once Luqman (as), The Wise said to his son, "Oh son!
Do not tie your heart in seeking the pleasure of people.
You are not likely to succeed. Do not pay attention to
what people say. Instead tell yourself always to seek
the pleasure of Allah (SWT)."
Luqman (as), The Wise wanted this lesson to be always
remembered and never to be forgotten. He thought of a way.
So, he then told his son to ride a donkey and the son obeyed.
The father followed behind on foot. They traveled in this way
for some distance.
