MEANING, HOPE AND KISMIT (DESTINY)
Man lives by fuel, be that food, water and words. For those who love God here is a compilation of expressions of the highest order. May you be uplifted by this compilation (from various net and literary sources). 

THE MEANING OF GOD
The meaning of the word Allah is God in Arabic.

SHAKESPEARE’S SPECIAL WORDS OF WISDOM
Let us take Shakespeare’s advice and believe that a rose is still a rose by whatever name it is called. 

whatever name you call it, this is still a rose

WHY ALLAH IS YOUR GOD TOO
God is God whether we call God, Jehovah, Allah or God. However, Muslims prefer to call God Allah because the Prophet Muhammad received the content of the Quran, the Holy Book in Arabic.  The word God is the English translation of the Arabic Allah.

WHAT WE CAN ALL AGREE UPON
All religions believe in prayer and Prophet Muhammad reportedly prayed with people of other religions and faiths. Let us just think of God and the majesty of God.

HOW TO BE SUCCESSFUL
Success is very much dependent on how we interact with others, our environment and our God (our Jehovah, our Allah). If we are successful then we should thank Allah for blessing us with people who blessed us and prayed for us. During our prayers we should give thanks and praise God. 

REAL WEALTH
The wealth of this world consists of gold and silver. The capital in Allah’s sight is love and two crying eyes. (Rumi).

POWERFUL POLISH
There is a polish for everything that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah. (Bukhari).

THE RIGHT TIME
Whatever religion you believe in – patience is a virtue the best best is to wait patiently and not to force. Force can be violence, impatience and in all relationships consensus is much better, respectful, fruitful and lasting.

IN THE RIGHT TIME
Allah
opens millions of flowers without forcing the buds. It reminds us not to force anything. Things happen in the right time!
So wait, Allah wants to give the best and the best for you at the correct time.
Don’t put a question mark where Allah puts a full stop.

TRUST IN GOD IS A UNIVERSAL THEME
Have trust in Allah and in His plan. If you trust Allah,
Then trust His timing too.

WHEN BLESSINGS COME TO YOU
When some blessings come to you, do not drive them away through thanklessness. Hazrat Ali(R.A)

LIFE SHOULD BECOME MORE MANAGEABLE
From the dark mines we get valuable jewels,
And from our darkest trials come our best blessings from Allah!
So if you see your life going through tests and trials remember after every
hardship there is a time of ease.

TRIAL OR PUNISHMENT?
Hazrat Ali (R.A) was asked: “How do we know that the problem that has come on us is a punishment or trial?”
Hazrat Ali (R.A) replied: “A punishment will take you away from Allah, while a trial will take you towards Allah.”

BE WATER MY FRIEND
Be like water that makes its own way, not like stone that stops even others in their paths. Hazrat Ali (R.A)
