I have read this in a book, and there is a part thats quiet remarkable; One day the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing his son how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be conisdered a very poor family. On their return from the trip, the father asked his son, ‘How was the trip?’, ‘It was great dad’ ‘Did you see how poor people live?’ the father asked. ‘Oh yeah’ said the son. ‘So what did you learn from the trip? asked the father. The son answered; ’ I saw that we have one dog, and they had four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end. Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants while they serve each other. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property to protect our property- they have friends to protect them’. With this the boy’s father was speechless. Then his son added; Thanks dad, for showing me how poor we are’
Its our attitude that can change everything. Before we complain about what we don’t have, we should see what we have. & being rich doesn’t come with property.

“Whoever treads on a path in search of Islamic knowledge, Allah will ease the way to Paradise for him. The angels will lower their wings, pleased with this seeker of knowledge, and everyone in the heavens and on earth will ask forgiveness for the knowledgeable person, even the fish in the deepest of waters will ask for his forgiveness.”
—Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)
“Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.”

Hm, i didn’t notice that…I probably removed the code for it in my theme accidently…It should show now though since I changed the theme.
“When you pass by the meadows of Paradise indulge freely in it.” They said: “O Messeneger of Allah, what are the meadows of Paradise?” He replied: “The circles of knowledge.”
