Man's Choice

Allah has given man the choice to follow either the moral path or go the wrong way.

In the Qu'ran Allah says about man, "Does he think that no one observes him?  Have We not given him two eyes to observe?  One tongue and two lips to control it?  Then shown him the two highways (good, leading towards paradise and evil, leading towards hell)?  Yet he does not attempt to tackle the Aqabah (steep path).  And what will explain to you what Aqabah is?  It is the freeing of a neck (slave) from bondage; or the giving of food in a day of famine to an orphan relative, or to a needy in distress;  besides this, he should be of those who believe, enjoin fortitude, encourage kindness and compassion.  such are the people of the right hand (going towards paradise).  But those who disbelieve our revalations, they are the people of the left hand (going towards hell), having fire all around them."  Qu'ran 90 7-20 

The flower:  This is one of the varieties of Iris that I have in my garden.  That year my older son visited us and we had a lovely few days enjoying his family.  My two grandsons loved playing on the Slip-and-Slide!
