LoL!!!!!

I had to look it up as it seemed too funny to be true!

Indeed it was!

In a rather ironic turn of events, Sedgwick fell at the beginning of the Battle of Spotsylvania Court House, on May 9, 1864. His corps was probing skirmish lines ahead of the left flank of Confederate defenses and he was directing artillery placements. Confederate sharpshooters were about 1,000 yards (910 m) away and their shots caused members of his staff and artillerymen to duck for cover. Sedgwick strode around in the open and was quoted as saying, "What? Men dodging this way for single bullets? What will you do when they open fire along the whole line? I am ashamed of you. They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." Although ashamed, his men continued to flinch and he repeated, "I'm ashamed of you, dodging that way. They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance."[3] Just seconds later he fell forward with a bullet hole below his left eye.[4]

الاستغفار هو الماء الذي تغسل به القلوب، لتزيل
أوساخ وأقذار الذنوب. وهو النور الذي يمحو ظلمات العصيان فيرجع العبد إلي
نور الرحمن، ليجعل له نورا يمشي به، ولذا كانت التوبة مفتاح كل فلاح قال تعالى:{وتوبوا إلي الله جميعاً أيها المؤمنون لعلكم تفلحون}

‎"Whatever we are waiting for - happiness, peace of mind, contentment, the inner awareness of simple abundance - it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart.”

[*Muhajabah*]

"The believer sees his sins as if he is sitting at the foot of a mountain fearing that it might fall on him, while the sinner sees his sins as a fly that lands on his nose, he just waves it away". ['Abdullah b. Mas’ûd]

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

الحب سكينة الروح وليس ثورة الجسد
*الحب أعظم المشاعر والمعاني ولهذا يبقى في الجنة ويزول الخوف والرجاء
*الحب غير ملتزم بالمنطق
*الحرمان يصنع للحب تاريخا
*الحب ينبوع يتفجر كلما زاد العطاء
......*من أصفى أنواع الحب حب تحتضنه القلوب وتحجم عنه الألسن
*من أحب الله تلذذ بحديثه.

[Najwa Al Mu'minah]

إن الصدق بر.وإن البر يهدي إلى الجنة.وإن العبدليتحرى الصدق حتى يكتب عند الله صديقا.وإن الكذب فجور.وإن الفجور يهدي إلى النار.وإن العبدليتحرى الكذب حتى يكتب كذابا

[Abul Hasan As Sumaali]

لا تنه عن خلقٍ وتأتي مثله *** عارٌ عليك إذا فعلت عظيم
ابدأ بنفسك وانهها عن غيها *** فإذا انتهت عنه فأنت حكيم
فهناك يقبل ما وعظت ويقتدى *** بالعلم منك وينفع التعليم

[Abul Hasan As Sumaali]

العِلْمُ أغْلَى وأحْلى ما لَهُ اسْتَمَعَتْ *** أذْنٌ وأعْرَبَ عنهُ ناطِقٌ بِفَمِ
العِلْمُ غايَتُهُ القُصْوَى ورُتْبَتُهُ الْ *** عَلْياءُ فاسْعَوا إليهِ يَا أُولِي الهِمَمِ
العِلْمُ أشْرَفُ مَطْلوبٍ وَطالِبُه *** ُ للهِ أكْرَمُ مَن يَمْشِي عَلى قَدَمِ
العِلْمُ نورٌ مُبِينٌ يَسْتَضِيءُ بِهِ *** أهْلُ السَّعادَةِ والجُهَّالُ فِي الظُّلَمِ
الْعِلْمُ أعْلَى حَياةٍ للعِبادِ كَما *** أهْلُ الجَهالَةِ أمْواتٌ بِجَهْلِهِمِ
