I think this means that the people who have knowledge think that there knowledge is too low to predict what's gonna happen. Those people who predict think that they have enough knowledge to know whats going to happen. Those who predict are unaware of their ignorance.

Assalamu alaykum sister.

Mashallah! Nice observation. :) Jazakallah khair.

People of knowledge never make predictions because they know that the future belongs to the domain of the unseen. They are the ones who would say "inshallah" whenever they speak about doing something in the future. They know that things only happen if it is Allah's will that they happen. They don't make any predictions because they do not know what is Allah's will.

Plenty of verses from the Qur'an and hadiths underline this great principle embodied in the quote by Lao Tze.

Eg. 1. They ask when is the Hour? Tell them o Prophet that the knowledge of the Hour is only with Allah.

2. And no man knows how, where and WHEN he will die.

3. The importance of saying "inshallah" is emphasized in the Qur'an.

4. Making predictions is actually forbidden in Islam! Consider the hadiths and verses regarding fortune-telling, gambling, indulging in speculation.

If you are right then there is no need to get angry.
If you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry!

Patience with family is love...
Patience with others is respect...
Patience with one self is confidence...
and Patience with GOD is faith...


Never Think Hard about THE PAST,
It brings Tears...
Don't Think more about THE FUTURE,
It brings Fears...
Live this Moment with a Smile...
It brings Cheers.

Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is ours whether we become victim or victorious!

Search a beautiful heart not a beautiful face...
Beautiful things are not always good...
but good things are always beautiful...

"What a wonderful thing to know Him (i.e Allah)! But how can one know Him but not love Him? How can one hear the caller but fail to respond? How can one know the profit to be gained in dealing with Him but still prefer others? How can one taste the bitterness of disobeying Him but still abstain from seeking the pleasure of obeying Him? How can one feel the severity of engaging in trivial speech, but fail to open your heart to His remembrance? How can one be tortured by being attached to others but not rush toward the bliss of turning to Him in repentance? Perhaps it is most surprising to know that while you are in need of Him, you are still reluctant to move toward Him because you seek others" -Ibn Al-Qayyim

I think it's a point of view sister. We value flowers and we keep them in our notebooks because we want to preserve some of their beauty.. and want to look at them again and again. They may be pressed but they have not withered and vanished into thin air. It's a thing that I myself used to do. I kept petals and flowers in my notebooks and years later, those petals were still there. I would look at them in amazement and wonder.

So from that point of view... I think God is like a pressed flower. A flower that we want to preserve... and cherish for the rest of our lives. Its fragrance might fade away. But it exists within the pages.... as a reminder to us... that God is close by and always near. :)

[Iconodule]

Observe all the things made by man — houses, build*ings large or small, towns, vil*lages, peo*ples and their civ*i*liza*tions. Ask ques*tions to enrich your knowl*edge about each and every*thing; don’t be indif*fer*ent. This helps you med*i*tate more deeply on the won*ders of God. All things become oppor*tu*ni*ties for us to be joined more closely with every*thing and every*one. They become occa*sions for thanks*giv*ing and prayer to the Lord of All. Live in the midst of every*thing, nature and the uni*verse. Nature is the secret Gospel. but when one does not pos*sess inner grace, nature is of no ben*e*fit. Nature awak*ens us, but it can*not bring us into Paradise.

“The role of woman is at the heart of any culture. Apart from stealing Arab oil, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan are about stripping Muslims their religion and culture, exchanging the burqa for a bikini…… The Muslim woman’s focus is her home, the “nest” where her children are born and reared. She is the “home” maker, the taproot that sustains the spiritual life of the family, nurturing and training her children, providing refuge and support to her husband. On contrast, the bikinied American beauty queen struts practically naked in front of millions on TV. A feminist, she belongs to herself. In practice, paradoxically, she is a public property. She belongs to no one and everyone. She shops her body to the highest bidder. She is auctioning herself all of the time…..” [Bikini vs Burqa: The Debauchery of Women]- Henry Makow PhD

“The sacrifice which causes sorrow to the doer of the sacrifice is no sacrifice. Real sacrifice lightens the mind of the doer and gives him a sense of peace and joy. The Buddha gave up the pleasures of life because they had become painful to him.”
-Mahatma Gandhi

:sl:

I don't know if I agree with this quote.

The pleasures of life are tempting and pleasing. Never painful. To give up those pleasures takes a lot of strength. And that strength is gained when one understands that the Hereafter is better than this dunya.

That strength is gained when one acquires knowledge and has increased faith in the Last Day.

Real sacrifice is when a person puts the needs of others before his own.... and this has got nothing to do with how he feels about the sacrifice he is making. He cares not about how he feels. He does it.... to seek Allah's good pleasure.

Consider the story of Ibrahim, alayhis salam.... and how he was willing to sacrifice his own son! Did he feel sorrow? Or did he feel peace and joy at the time of making the sacrifice? Well, he didn't care how he felt. He only knew that he could not disobey his Lord. And obey Him he did, and willing to sacrifice his son he was.... regardless of how he felt about it.

There's an English proverb that goes: "Speak of the devil and he doth appear".

Deriving from the Middle Ages, this proverb was a superstitious prohibition against speaking directly of the Devil or of evil in general, which was considered to incite that party to appear, generally with unfortunate consequences. Its first printed usage in modern English can be found in Giovanni Torriano's Piazza Universale (1666), as "The English say, Talk of the Devil, and he's presently at your elbow."

The phrase lost its overt message during the 19th century, during which it became a warning against eavesdroppers - "No good of himself does a listener hear,/Speak of the devil he's sure to appear"), and by the 20th century had taken on its present meaning.

In Finnish this principle is stated in the words: "Siinä paha missä mainitaan", which translates to "Evil is where it's mentioned."

In Hindi/Urdu: "Shaitan ka na'am lo, shaitan hazir" which translates to "Speak of the devil, and he will appear."

In Yiddish: "A shod m'hot nisht geredt fun moshiach" which translates to "We should have talked about the Messiah," or "A shame we weren't talking about the Messiah."

Another Yiddish idiom: "Az men redt fun der malech, kumt der galech", which translates to "Talk about the angel, and here comes the priest."

Imam Ahmed reported a hadith in his book called zuhd, in which the Prophet PBUH relates the saying of Allah swt:

"Strange are you, O Son of Adam! I have created you and you worship other than Me. I have provided for you and you thank those besides Me. I show you love by giving you blessings and I do not need you. While you show me animosity through sins and you are to Me poor. My good is descending to you and you evil is rising to Me."
