Ethics - Positive Thinking

Pearl of Wisdom

with regards to Allah's verse: Do not be like her who would undo her yarn, breaking it up after [spinning it to) strength, by making your oaths a means of [mutual) deceit among yourselves ... , said, 'The one who undid her yarn was a woman from the tribe of Banitaym b. Murrah, called Rabita (Rayta), daughter of Ka'b b. Sa'd b. Taym b. Ka'b b. Lu'ayya b. Ghalib. She was a stupid woman who would spin hair, and after she had spun it, she would undo it then start to spin it all over again. So Allah said, ''Do not be like her who would undo her yarn ... Verily Allah, Blessed and most High, has commanded the fulfilment of the oath and has prohibited its breaking, and has made this a parable for them.'

Ethics - Positive Thinking

In the Holy Qur'an

Therefore remember Me, I will remember you (2:152)

Call on your Lord humbly and secretly (7:55)

In the Traditions

O God,

bless Muhammad and his Household,
tempt me not with what Thou hast given to Thy creatures
and tempt them not with what Thou hast withheld from me.

Lest I envy Thy creatures
and dispise Thy decision!

O God,

bless Muhammad and his Household,
delight my soul through Thy decree,
expand my breast through the instances of Thy decision,
give to me a trust through which I may admit

and Thy decree runs only to the best,

and let my gratitude to Thee

for what Thou has taken away from me
be more abundant than my gratitude to Thee
for what Thou hast conferred upon me!

Preserve me from imagining any meaness
in someone who is destitute
or imagining any superiority
in someone who possesses wealth,

for the noble is he whom obedience to Thee has ennobled
and the exalted is he whom worship of THee has exalted!
