Perfect Imperfections

The problems and imperfections we see in the world around us, may be actually part of the perfection ……….

Imam Abu Hamid Al-Ghazali is reported to have said:

إن نقص الكون هو عين كماله ، مثل اعوجاج القوس هو عين صلاحيته و لو أنه استقام لما رمىأبو حامد الغزالي

‘𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗹𝗮𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘃𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘄 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗶𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀.’

If it wasn’t for sadness, we wouldn’t know happiness …

If it wasn’t for difficulties, we wouldn’t enjoy ease…

If it wasn’t for darkness, we wouldn’t know light …

If it wasn’t for disease, we wouldn’t appreciate health …

If there was no death, we wouldn’t value life …
