It is said that Moses—peace be upon him—was walking with his disciples when they came across a donkey’s corpse.
One of them said it smells so bad. The other said it looks so ugly. Moses, however, looked and said: ‘Mashallah, its teeth are so white.’
- The gratefulness of the ears is to hear goodness with them.
- The gratefulness of the eyes is to see goodness with them.
- The gratefulness of the tongue is to say goodness with it.
There is beauty around but it’s for the trained ear, eye and heart.

This is a very good reminder. Alhamdulillah in every situation.
Thank you. The skill to discern beauty in unexpected places is one well worth acquiring. May Allah give us the tawfeeq to aspire to it.
SubhanAllah
