A dialogue between a flower and a pearl.

One day, a brilliantly beautiful and fragrant flower with
attractive colors met a pearl that lives far in the bottom of the
sea and has none of these characteristics.

Both got acquainted with each other.

The flower said: "Our family is large; roses and daisies are
members of the family. And there are many other species that are
various and countless, each has a distinctive scent, appearance
.etc."

Suddenly, a tinge of distress appeared on the flower.

"Nothing accounts for sorrow in your talk; so why are
depressed?"
The pearl asked.

"Human beings deal with us carelessly; they slight us. They don't
grow us for our sake but to get pleasure from our fragrance and
beautiful appearance. They throw us on the street or in the garbage
can after we
are dispossessed of the most valuable properties; brilliance and
fragrance" The flower sighed.

And then the flower said to the pearl: "Speak to me about your
life! How do you live? How do you feel it? You are buried in the
bottom of the sea. "

The pearl answered: "Although I have none of your distinctive
colors and sweet scents, humans think I am precious. They do the
impossible to procure me. They go on long journeys, dive deep in
the seas searching
for me. You might be astounded to know that the
further I lay, the more beautiful and brilliant I become. That's
what upraises my value in their thought. I live in a thick shell
isolated in the dark seas. However, I'm happy and proud to be in a
safe zone far from wanton and mischievous hands and still the
humans consider me highly valuable"


Do you know what the flower and the pearl symbolize?

Think
Think

You will find that .





The flower is the unveiled woman (who shows her charms)

and the pearl is the veiled woman (who conceals her beauties)
Think about it!

Indeed Allah is gentle and loves gentleness, and
gives due to
gentleness that which He does not give due to harshness - Muhammad
(salAllahu alayhi wasalam) [ibn Majah, ibn Hibban - Hasan]
