each cloud has its silver lining

شكوت الى وكيع سوء حفظي

فأرشدني الى ترك المعاصي

و قال ان العلم نور

و ََنور الله لا يهداه عاصي

an arabic poem from my arabic teacher jz now...sorry i dun have the patience to put in the pronunciation marks (it kills me for not being fluent in typing...hehe)...so i'll spell it for you then~

shakautu ila wakii'in suua hifzii

fa 'arshidani ila tarkil ma'aasi

wa qola innal ilmi nuurun

wa nuurullahi la yuhdahu 'aasi

a poem by imam syafie...it means,

i bemoaned (complained) to waki' (imam syafie's teacher) that my memory is bad

so he showed (told) me to leave 'al-ma'siah' (doing bad things)

and he said 'knowledge is light'

and Allah will not give His light to the wrong-doers

this poem touches me very deeply...today

i knew about it before...but never thought it was in a poem-form...

anyway, i guess u understand its meaning ryte?

n truly every cloud definitely has its silver lining!

does this one count as silver-lined clouds?

life is something new for individual discovery...

syafakumullah to my frens who are still ill...may you guys b in ur best health for tomorrow~

# thnx to nicky for lending me her lappy to type in the arabic words~
# there's a song by talib al-habib regarding this poem...thnx to jackster~
