*The Soul Is a Grinding Stone & NEVER left Idle*![Superb!]'Al Qayyim'

Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah   As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu .   *The Soul Is a Grinding Stone & NEVER left Idle*     It is well known that man has not been given to power to kill his thoughts nor the strength to severe them.   They invade him just as his breathing invades his body. However the strength of Imân and intellect helps him to accept his best thoughts , to be pleased with them, to experience peace and tranquility from them.  It also helps him to repulse his most evil thoughts and dislike and recoil from them.   Allâh created the soul similar to a grinding stone that goes round and round – one that does not stop; and always in need of something to grind. If seeds are placed therein it will grind them. If stones are placed therein it will still grind them. So the thoughts that revolve in the soul are like a seed that is placed in a grinding stone. That grinding stone is never left idle.   Something or the other has to be placed inside it. So from amongst the people are those whose grinding stone grinds seeds which comes out as flour – which he and others derive benefit from.   But most of them grind soil, stones, straw and so forth – so when the time of making the dough and baking comes;  he sees the reality of what he ground.       Source:-[Ibn al Qayyim رحمه الله , al-Fawaa'id p31 & 173-174]   ...Salaams To All...                        Y a s m i n.                     "All that is on earth will Perish. But will abide {Forever}   the Face of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour"  {'Quran'- Surah Al-Rahman-55.26-27 }   Son of Adam! You are nothing but a number of days, whenever each day passes then part of you has Gone! {Al-Hasan Al-Basree}
