“My personal belief is we should not bow to any object. But Islam was aware of this human weakness and fulfilled that need through Haj to kiss a stone. A stone is a stone but the vacuum was filled and it became the holiest object. I have performed Haj and seen the devotion of people braving stampedes only to kiss that stone.” PeopleNeedsShouldHumansBeliefObjectsKissingWeaknessStonesFilledIslamDevotionBowsFulfilledVacuumsPersonal BeliefsStampede Author:Asghar Ali Engineer
“Although love could grow in times of peace, it tempered in battle. Daddy told me once - when I'd said something about how perfect his relationship with Mom was - that I should have seen the first five years of their marriage, that they'd fought like hellions, crashed into each other like two giant stones. That eventually they'd eroded each other into the perfect fit, become a single wall, nestled into each other's curves and hollows, her strengths chinking his weaknesses, her weaknesses reinforced by his strengths.” ShouldYearsFirstsSaidTwoGrowsPerfectFiveWallMomFitBattleWeaknessStonesShould HaveGiantsFive YearsDaddyCurvesPerfect Fit Author:Karen Marie Moning
