Warning over Results of Actions. {60.}
Warning over Results of Actions. {60.}
****
“Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it;
and they shall be secure from terror on the day.
And whoever brings evil, these shall be
thrown down on their faces into the fire;
shall you be rewarded {for} aught except what you did?
I am commanded only that
I should serve the Lord of this city,
Who has made it sacred, and His are all things;
and I am commanded that
I should be of these who submit;
And that I should recite the Quran.
Therefore whoever goes aright,
he goes aright for his own soul,
and whoever goes astray, then say:
I am only one of the warners.
And say: Praise be to Allah,
He will show you His signs
so that you shall recognize them;
nor is your Lord heedless of what you do.”
---- The Quran; Al-Naml: 89-93.

“Good men and bad men differ radically.
Bad men never appreciate kindness shown them,
but wise men appreciate and are grateful.
Wise men try to express their appreciation and gratitude
by some return of kindness,
not only to their benefactor,
but to everyone else.”
---- Gautama Buddha.

“When the people of the world all know beauty as beauty
There arises the recognition of ugliness.
When they all know the good as good
There arises the recognition of evil.
Therefore, being and non-being produce each other.”
