Grammar ep: 9 The Comma

 Ah the comma used to separate sentences such as:

"The table is immaculate, and beautiful".

"I like my clothes to be tidy, and freshly washed".

You can also use the comma for separating lists and when you end a list, you must end it with a "And", for example: "Please bring back: apples, pears, bread and laundry detergent". 

You also should use the comma for responding such as:
"Mr Peterson, please hire a new informant for the company".

You can also use commas as a way of separating a true or false question such as:
"hey peter you like pie, don't you?".

Or you can say "This wouldn't hurt, will it?".

When you are ending a dialogue sequence you have to put either a comma or full stop such as: Guillermo said, "The cave is very dark."

Or you can do: "It is probably clean," said Anne.

Quran by dr Abdul Aziz pt: 7

 Tawakul is relying on Allah but doing the means.

Tawakul is relying on Allah but leaving the means to Allah.

All the prophets gained their living through hard work, as the Prophet Muhammad was working before he became a Prophet.
When they needed a Mosque The Prophet did not say "Oh Allah give us a mosque", instead they gathered the necessary resources to build a mosque by themselves. 

All matters that go towards the unseen should be left to Allah and what is said in the book, as it does not concern us.

Habits of Successful Muslims pt: 1

Success is very subjective as you could be wealthy with expensive cars, the greatest house or the most money in the bank, but in Islamic terms could be in poverty.

Every soul will taste death, and you will get no benefits from cars, a large house or significant wealth. Even if you had the whole world into gold as his wealth. He could not spend any of that to ransom his way into Jannah.

Everything in this world is flawed but everything with Allah is perfect.
