And he smiled and said: "if you think your Prophet and your Creator are just good enough and so-so beings, then sure, be a so-so Muslim. But if you think your Prophet is the best of all Creation, and that your Creator is the most merciful and forgiving, then don't you owe it to Him by at least trying to be the best Muslim you can be?"Sarmadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06065378352065474744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3301297157427639781.post-64880847626436918682011-05-09T16:47:28.292+05:002011-05-09T16:47:28.292+05:00Jazakallah.
