O My Son!

O my son! Beware of talking about things or people except after you are sure of the soundness of the source. And when anyone comes to you with some news, scrutinize it before you act rashly. And beware of rumors. Neither believe everything that is said nor half of what you see. And when Allah tests you with an enemy, resist him with ihsan. “Repel (the evil) with that which is better…” I swear by Allah that the enmity will turn into love—just imagine! - Ume Hakimah

  3. Umm Hikmah = Mother of Wisdom!

    Quran 23:26 "Seest thou not how Allah sets forth a parable? – A goodly word like a goodly tree, whose root is firmly fixed, and its branches (reach) to the heavens,- of its Lord."
