Hope is a mercy for my nation. Where not for hope,no mother would ever feed her child, and nogardener would ever plant a tree.The best of combat is to combat one’s self that isbetween one’s flanks.
 The Prophet Muhammad
A man brought the chick of a bird to the gathering of theProphet and his companions, and they noticed that the parent of the chick was following it, flapping around it.When the man sat down its parent threw itself upon itschick, and did not concern itself with the danger, out of care towards its chick. This astonished the companions.The Prophet Muhammad then turned to his companionsand said: ‘Are you amazed at this bird? You have taken itschick and it threw itself into danger out of mercy for thechick! I swear by God, your Lord is more merciful to youthan this bird is to its chick. Then he turned to the man andasked him to let the chick go.
