And as soon as he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you have become the cause of great trouble to me. For I have opened my mouth to the lord, and I cannot take back my vow

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and life and fruits of your toil. But give good news to the steadfast: Those who, when disaster strikes them, say, "We belong to Allah and to Him we will return". Those are the people who will have blessings and mercy from their Lord; they are the ones who are guided".

All tremble at the rod. All fear death. Comparing others with oneself, one should neither strike nor cause to strike.

My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.
