'Tis sorrow builds the shining ladder up, Whose golden rounds are our calamities, Whereon our firm feet planting, nearer God The spirit climbs, and hath its eyes unsealed. True it is that Death's face seems stern and cold When he is sent to summon those we love; But all God's angels come to us disguised; Sorrow and sickness, poverty and death, One after another, lift their frowning masks, And we behold the Seraph's face beneath, All radiant with the Glory and the calm Of having looked upon the front of God.

A man once said to Muhammad, 'O Messenger of God, permit me to become a Eunuch.' He said, 'That person is not of me who maketh another a eunuch, or becometh so himself; because the manner in which my followers become eunuchs is by fasting and abstinence.' The man said permit me to retire from society, and to abandon the delights of the world.' He said, 'The retirement that becometh my followers is to live in the world and yet to sit in the corner of a mosque in expectation of prayers.'

Prophet Muhammad
