A lie begins in the soul
and then travels the world.
- Ali
We do not know what fruit
our seeds will bear.
But if our hearts and
intentions are pure,
the rewards can be
a thousand times
what we expect.
- Mahdi
You follow in the steps
of a great man.
May you draw upon his wisdom
for your exam.
- Hajjina
There are many paths in life, Ali.
- Madhi
Mahdi: What do you want to do?
Ali: I just wanna make you proud, Dad.
Madhi: Then be proud of yourself.
There's million ways to serve God.
This has all been part of His plan.
During the Abbasid Dynasty,
a man and his son rode on a donkey.
But once they reached the town of
Kandahar the people abused them.
They said, "Poor donkey.
You make him carry two fit men."
So the father rode and
the son walked.
But when they arrived at the
next town, people cried,
"Look at this fellow.
He drags his young defenseless boy
through the desert heat and
he enjoys the ride of a lifetime."
So in the next town,
the son rode and father walked.
But people shouted at the boy,
"You are young.
You are healthy.
You make your elderly father suffer.
He is marching in heat."
So together, the father and his son
decided to walk with their donkey.
As they passed through the next town,
people laughed.
"Look at these two idiots.
Why don't they ride their donkey?"
And in every town,
people criticized them.
In the end, the father said,
"Stuff this."
And he and the boy carried
the donkey on their back.
But...
We tie ourselves up
in terrible knots
trying to live up
to the judgments of others.
- Madhi
