Calamity is the test of Integrity

A Native American grandfather was speaking to his grandson on how he felt about a tragedy. He said:

“I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate, peaceful one.”

The grandson asked him, Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?”

The grandfather replied: ‘The one I feed’.

[Native American Story]

How wonderful is the affair of the believer, for his affairs are all good, and this applies to no one but the believer. If something good happens to him, he is thankful for it and that is good for him. If something bad happens to him, he bears it with patience and that is good for him.” (Narrated by Muslim).

~ Amatullah
