Fable

In winter, a small wind blew over the sea. The wind looked around and saw a vast expanse. It was confused and felt alone. What a worse feeling than loneliness! But alas, when the wind turned a second time, from afar it saw a gray cloud. The Friendship of the Cloud and the Wind: The cloud approached the wind and said to her, “I carry a lot of water.

The cloud said, “Thank you, my friend the wind. Leave me now to let down the rain.” ...

Laziness is a blameworthy trait. Our true religion has warned us against it and asked us to be active Muslims, for activity is part of hard work. We are required to work hard, continuously, and at a high level so that our Arab nations can rise, advance, and compete with other nations in progress, science, and elevation. But did Filfil realize all these matters?

In ancient times, in a distant country between countries, one of the princesses lived with her mother the queen in a high castle.

In a solitary garden, beautiful in its corners, good in character, lived a violet contented among her peers, swaying joyfully among the grass stems. On one morning, crowned with dewdrops, she raised her head and looked around her. She saw a rose stretching toward the heights with a slender stature and a head towering proudly as if it were a flame of fire above a lamp made of emerald. The Violet: The violet opened her blue mouth and sighed, saying, “How little is my fortune among the flowers, and how low is my station among them! Nature created me small and insignificant. I live clinging to the earth’s surface and cannot raise my stature toward the blueness of the sky or turn my face toward the sun as the roses do.” ...

I climbed on the steps of the ladder, thinking of a way to deceive my mother with a watch for her, then I threw on her feet and said: Oh elder children, I saw them wearing watches, and I am now big, my mother gave me a watch to look for the time, but I have been waiting long and I don’t love to wait. I Found a Watch: Then Sana looked at her precious hand, raised it to her mother and bit her with force, and while the surprised mother looked at her smiling, she said: Ah, I got my watch! Sana threw the happy to her friend, and while she was walking, she fell on the ground weakly. Watch! Fake watch! Very fake, how does this dream come true with this speed?

One cannot ignore nature and its instincts under any circumstances, for what you think has changed for your sake may not be the case. God, the Exalted and Sublime, created all His creatures with different characteristics and natures, including the tame and the ferocious, and in his dealings with these animals, man should not forget this difference. Once, in a beautiful village on the outskirts of India, a man named Bahu was accustomed to living alone in his house.

There is a famous saying that says: Everything you discover by searching for it already existed before, but you were more arrogant than to see it.
