Every mistake is from me, and any Truth is from Allah, The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One, I know nothing save that which He hath taught me.

We Are Like Pencils
In the beginning, the Pencil Maker spoke to the pencil saying,
"There are five things you need to know before I send you out into the world. Always remember them and you will become the best pencil you can be."
First :
You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in Someone's hand.
Second :
You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but this is required if you want to become a better pencil.
Third:
You have the ability to correct any mistakes you might make.
Fourth:
The most important part of you will always be what's inside.
Fifth:
No matter what the condition, you must continue to write. You must always leave a clear, legible mark no matter how difficult the situation.
The pencil understood, promising to remember, and went into the
box fully understanding its Maker's purpose.
Now put yourself in place of the pencil; always remember the five things from above, and you will become the best person you can be.
One :
You will be able to do many great things, but only if you allow yourself to be held in God's hand. And allow other human beings to access you for the many gifts you possess.
Two :
You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
Three :
You will be able to correct mistakes you might make or grow through them.
Four :
The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.
And five :
On every surface you walk, you must leave your mark. No matter what the situation, you must continue to serve God in everything.
Everyone is like a pencil...
created by the Maker for a unique and special purpose.
By understanding and remembering, let us proceed with our life on this earth having a meaningful purpose in our heart and a relationship with God daily.
You were Made to do Great Things!

Know that the state of one's religious and worldly affairs depend upon soundness of one's reflection. Anyone who has a share of it has an abundant share of everything good. It has been said : 'An hour's reflection is better than a year's worship.' 'Ali, may God ennoble his face, has said: 'There is no worship like reflection.' And one of the gnostics; may God have mercy on them all, said: 'Reflection is the lamp of the heart; if it departs the heart will have no light.'
