True manhood

Ibn Al-Qayyim said :

والرجل هو الذي يخاف موت قلبه لا موت بدنه
ENGLISH:

“A man is the one who fears the death of his heart, not his body.”

NEDERLANDS:

"Een man is degene die de dood van zijn hart vreest, niet de dood van zijn lichaam."

["Madarij Al-Salikeen", 3/248].

"When a husband and wife..."

The Prophet said:
إن الرجل إذا نظر إلى امرأته ونظرت إليه نظر الله إليهما نظرة رحمة، فإذا أخذ بكفها، تساقطت ذنوبهما من خلال أصابعهما

"When a husband and wife look at one another (with love), Allah looks at them both with mercy. And if the husband then takes hold of his wife's hand, their sins will fall from their fingers."

["Al-Jaami' al-Sagheer lil-Suyooti"m 1977 - Saheeh].

Funny

An English professor wrote the words, Woman without her man is nothing and directed his students to punctuate it correctly.

The men wrote: Woman, without her man, is nothing.

The women wrote: Woman: Without her, man is nothing.

Persian poem on the Dunya

در این دنیای بی حاصل چرا مغرور میگردی
سلیمان گر شوی آخر نصیب گور میگردی

Dar ien dunyaa-e bee haasel chra maghroor megardi
Sulaymaan gar shawi , aakhir nasibe goor megardi !

Why do you walk with pride/arrogance, in this barren world?
Even if you become like Solomon, you will still end up in a grave!
