Goodness vs Evilness
Al-Isra (The Journey by Night) 17:7
إِنْ أَحْسَنتُمْ أَحْسَنتُمْ لِأَنفُسِكُمْ وَإِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَهَا فَإِذَا جَاء وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوؤُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُواْ مَا عَلَوْاْ تَتْبِيرًا
[And We said:] "If you persevere in doing good, you will but be doing good to yourselves; and if you do evil, it will be [done] to yourselves." And so, when the prediction of the second [period of your iniquity] came true, [We raised new enemies against you, and allowed them] to disgrace you utterly, and to enter the Temple as [their forerunners] had entered it once before, and to destroy with utter destruction all that they had conquered.
Ash-Shams (The Sun) 91:8-10
فَأَلۡهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقۡوَٮٰهَا (٨) قَدۡ أَفۡلَحَ مَن زَكَّٮٰهَا (٩) وَقَدۡ خَابَ مَن دَسَّٮٰهَا (١٠)
Then He showed him what is wrong for him and what is right for him; (8) Indeed he succeeds who purifies his ownself (i.e. obeys and performs all that Allâh ordered, by following the true Faith of Islâmic Monotheism and by doing righteous good deeds). (9) And indeed he fails who corrupts his ownself (i.e. disobeys what Allâh has ordered by rejecting the true Faith of Islâmic Monotheism or by following polytheism or by doing every kind of evil wicked deeds) (10)
Al-Furqan (The Criterion) 25:28
يَا وَيْلَتَى لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ فُلَانًا خَلِيلًا
Oh, woe is me! Would that I had not taken so-and-so for a friend!
How comfort zone is dangerous and how deep we are dragged in? We might have to review our friendship bonds, our habits, our routine to actively make efforts to explore our full potential and helping to explore full potential of our close friends, relatives (circle of influence - COI).
Apparently, friends are afraid to share their inner voice within COI.

Rumi: You Were Born with Wings
You were born with potential.
You were born with goodness and trust.
You were born with ideals and dreams.
You were born with greatness.
You were born with wings.
You are not meant for crawling, so don’t.
You have wings.
Learn to use them and fly.
Education is like oxygen (should not be chained with money).
Is Education is the Best Service?
“When the people of truth remain quiet against falsehood, the people of falsehood start believing it is the truth.” Imam Ali AS
[The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
When you stop learning you start dying.
No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.
Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein]
Allama Iqbal
Jab Iss Angara’ay Khaki Mein Hota Hai Yaqeen Paida
To Kar Leta Hai Ye Bal-O-Par-E-Rooh-ul-Ameen Paida
When certainty is born in these embers of ashes,
Then it gives birth to the wings of Gabriel.
جب اس انگارئہ خاکی ميں ہوتا ہے يقيں پيدا
تو کر ليتا ہے يہ بال و پر روح الاميں پيدا
