The things we can't recover in life...

There are some things that you cannot recover in life:

1) The stone after it's thrown.

2) The word after it's said. 

3) The occassion after it's missed.

4) The time after it's gone.

5) A person after they've passed away.

Whatever you have will perish, but what you send forward is stored in the treasures of Allah. We make a living by what we have, but we make a life by what we give. 

- Shaykh Zahir Mahmood.
