Cry And Work
2009 June 5
Instead of sleeping like I should be doing (to hopefully make my ridiculous stuffy nose feel better), I, in a fit of nostalgia, started going through my old Xanga posts and stumbled across something…
When I had started taking Islam more seriously couple of years back, someone taught me an important lesson:
“If all the tears collected of this Ummah were put together, we could offer clean water for millions. Don’t cry and die – cry and work, cry and pray, cry and succeed, for indeed the Gardens of Truth are for the predators and ones who use their tears as fuel to change. Heaven was not made for those who merely believe, but for those who work. So work and Allah (swt) knows best).”
Words of wisdom, I say. 
Good quote. Belief is not enough, we need to do work.
mashaAllah beautiful words.
Love the quote.
JazakaAllah khair, a friend linked me to it.
Great quote! I’m passing this on..
