Was at the masjid last night and one of the attendees was giving advice to a few of us. He was talking about forgiving others and overlooking their faults. He said our hearts should be like the sea unaffected by the little pieces of garbage that others might throw at us. The sea is so huge that one little piece of garbage does not affect it.This reminded me of Habib Umer's counsel in the " Good Character" SunniPath course where he said we should strive for noble character. He said the noblest of characters was that of the Prophet ( peace be upon him) and his character was like the ocean. You stand at it's shore and you cannot see the other shore of it-such were his qualities.
May Allah make us of those who strive to learn and follow the prophet's ( peace be upon him) character.
