ROSE!

[revert-sister]

Asalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakathuhu..

A man planted a rose & watered it faithfully,
& before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud
that would soon blossom also have thorns with it and
he thought,

How can any beautiful flower come from
a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?
He felt very sad by this thought, & he neglected to water
the rose, & before it was ready to bloom, it died……

So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose.
Allah like qualities planted in us at birth growing amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at ourselves & see only the thorns,
[the defects].

We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us.
We neglect to water the good deeds within us, & eventually it dies.
We never realize our potential.

Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts to a person can possess
is to be able to reach past the thorns & find the rose within others..

This is the characteristic of love,

To look at a person, & knowing his faults,
Recognize the nobility in his soul, & help him
to realize that he can overcome his faults...... .

If we show him the rose, he will conquer the thorns.
Then it will blossom hundred- folds as it is given to him.

" Our duty in this world is to help others by showing them their roses & not their thorns [the defects] "

Mashallah very beautiful sis. we have a say in farsi "humans are each others mirror" ie if you see something good in some one its because you are good your self... i cnt remembre exactly but there was also the story about two people. where one of them came from masjid and the other one was coming from some disliked/forbidden place. once they met each other on the way of coming back, each thought good of one another. the man who was coming from masjid thought he is coming from a place of worship...
if any one know the story PROPERLY plz share with us thank you
but yea tanx for sharing sis
