The Flower and the Butterfly

Once there was a man who asked God for a flower and a butterfly. But instead God have him a cactus and a caterpillar.

The man was sad, he didn't understand why his request was mistaken. Then he thought, "Oh well, God has to many people to care for..."

And he decided not to question.

After some time, the man went to check up on his request that he had left forgotten.

To his surprise from the thorny ugly cactus...



And the unsightly caterpillar had been transformed...



God does everything right!

His way is ALWAYS the best way,
even to us it seems all wrong.

If you asked God for one thing and received another,
TRUST that He will give you what you need at the appropriate time.

What you want is not always what you need!
God never fails to grant our petitions,
so keep on going for Him
without doubting or murmuring.

Today's THORN...

Is tomorrow's FLOWER!

The Death of One's Child...



Narrated from Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari (may Allaah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“When the child of a person dies, Allaah says to His angels: ‘You have taken the soul of the child of My slave?’ They say: ‘Yes.’ He says: ‘You have taken the apple of his eye?’ They say: ‘Yes.’ He says: ‘What did My slave say?’ They say: ‘He praised You and said innaa Lillaahi wa innaa ilayhi raaji’oon.’ And Allaah says: ‘Build for My slave a house in Paradise, and call it the house of praise.’”

Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1021; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi


The death of one of one's children is a screen against the Fire.

A Good Deed


If someone does bad to you, be patient
If someone harms you, be forgiving
If someone deals harshly, be gentle
If someone withholds from you, be generous
If someone wrongs you, be just
If someone argues with you, be silent
If someone dejects you, be optimistic
If someone accuses you, be honest
If someone proves you wrong, be humble
If someone makes a mistake, be merciful


The good deed and the evil deed cannot be equal. Repel (the evil) with one which is better (i.e. Allah orders the faithful believers to be patient at the time of anger, and to excuse those who treat them badly) then verily he, between whom and you there was enmity, (will become) as though he was a close friend.
{Fussilat, 41:8}
