"And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God"



Jesus and his disciples passed by a dead dog, and the stench of it was over-powering. His disciples exclaimed, "How this corpse smells!" But Jesus replied, "How lovely is the white of his teeth!"
--Recounted by Abu Hamid al Ghazali,
in his classic Ihya Ulum id-Din (Revival of the Religious Sciences)
