It's not what happens to you... its what you d with it
"IT'S NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU . . .
IT'S WHAT YOU DO WITH IT."
A POEM
There once was an oyster
Whose story I tell,
Who found that some sand
Had got into his shell.
It was only a grain,
But it gave him great pain.
For oysters have feelings
Although they're so plain.
Now, did he berate
The harsh workings of fate
That had brought him
To such a deplorable state?
Did he curse at the government,
Cry for election,
And claim that the sea should
Have given him protection?
"No," he said to himself
As he lay on a shell,
Since I cannot remove it,
I shall try to improve it.
Now the years have rolled around,
As the years always do,
And he came to his ultimate
Destiny . . . stew.
And the small grain of sand
That had bothered him so
Was a beautiful pearl
All richly aglow.
Now the tale has a moral,
For isn't it grand
What an oyster can do
With a morsel of sand?
What couldn't we do
If we'd only begin
With some of the things
That get under our skin.

Yeh thats true, I mean if we all started to do little things to improve our Imaan, then Insha'Allah more people will start doing it as well.
May Allah swt guide us all. Ameen.

Oh i luv that poem im copying it! We cud make a wall display out of bush n blair... teach others a lesson
Oh Mankind! What keeps you from your Lord most Generous?
There is no
Hand but the
Hand of Allah is over it, and
There is no
Opressor but he is tried with a
Greater Opression .
