Prepared by: Professor Dr. Sahira Qahtan Abdul Jabbar I still remain silent when something hurts me... Because I know very well that life can be harsh on us... And luck may not be on our side... But when we realize that everything is predestined, we accept reality. I don't deny that there were days when I grew weary of life... Nor do I deny my weakness in the face of certain circumstances... But within me is a spirit that grants me strength whenever I remember... "That when God loves a servant, He tests him." So let us live our lives happily and silently... For mouths will never be silent, and tongues will never stop wagging... So don't change too much, and don't become as if you know nothing about others except that you are still alive... I admire the one who tells me of their anger or annoyance at something I did, "because it opens avenues for me to explain the reason"... Unlike the one who keeps silent and tears me apart in secret... And ignores the words of the Most Merciful (Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when he is dead?) For speaking ill of you to someone who is not present is like eating the flesh of your brother while he is dead and feels nothing... So let us be honest, for our lives don't have time to postpone explanations... And we all know that there is no difference between the color of salt and the color of sugar... They are both the same color, but we will know the difference after tasting them... "Such are people"... Some of them have noble souls She respects herself and others. When she speaks, she speaks with depth and complete clarity, without harming the feelings or dignity of others. She asks politely, jokes tastefully, and apologizes sincerely. We are not obligated to justify our actions to those who think ill of us. Those who know us well understand us well. The eye deceives itself when it loves, and the ear believes others when it hates. We encounter people who love us, and others whom we love. Therefore, let us cherish those who love us more than those we love. For those we love have prepared themselves only to take, while those who love us have prepared themselves only to give. Therefore, it is better to be blind to everything that displeases you, deaf to everything that hurts you, and numb to everything that pains you. This is how you live happily. Life is too short to harbor hatred, envy, malice, hypocrisy, or sever family ties. Tomorrow we will be just a memory. So smile and forgive those who have wronged you, for Paradise requires pure hearts.
