My Favourite Book

“A good book is the precious life blood of a master spirit, embalmed and treasured up on purpose for a life beyond”

                Books are considered one of the oldest means of getting knowledge, but only those men can be influenced by the books who love knowledge. They must not necessarily dedicate themselves to the things of the mind but must realize the value of the knowledge. Knowledge is more permanent than the pleasure of emotions which in their very nature are unstable. So, knowledge must be preferred both to the pleasures of the affections and those of senses. We feed the body several times a day. We must feed the mind equally and we can not do that if we do not possess books.

(Ideal: No doubt all the books ………………… seek guidance)

“Books give new views to life, and teach us how to live, they

Sooth the grieved, the stubborn they chastise, fools they admonish and confirm the wise”

 May Allah enable us to understand the Holy Quran and act upon it.

My Best Friend

                A man can not live and survive alone in a society. He is to live and deal with many people living around him. He is on good terms with some of them and they are called his “friends”. Friendship is the sacred relationship between two hearts. It is more tender than flowers. Only a slight selfishness is enough for it to fade away. Adversity is its touch stone, selfish and fair weather friends leave in the lurch that’s why it is said “A friend in need is a friend indeet”.

                Good friends are really an invaluable asset. They sooth in sufferings and troubles and criticize when some wrong is committed. The are the best guide of a person. A friend can mar or build one’s personality and character so, no doubt “A man is known by the company he keeps”.

(Ideal: I have many friends …………………… I am proud of my friend)

“Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel”.

My Best Teacher

“A best teacher is that who teaches from the heart not from the book”

                Teaching is a very noble profession. It is also called the “Profession of prophets” because a teacher is the person who not only teaches the students but also guide them morally and spiritually and moulds their minds and characters. A student is a raw diamond when he enters a school. It is the teacher who polishes his mind and makes him a useful citizen. So, the importance of a teacher can never be denied for a society because the progress of a nation depends on education and the concept of the education is incomplete without teachers. Islam also has laid a great stress on the respect and reverence of the teacher as Hazrat Ali (R.A) once said, “He who taught me a single word enslaved me”

(Ideal: All of my teachers ……………….. asset of the school)

A visit to an historical place

(Ideal: A visit to some …………. Built in a park)

                One is struck with admiration when one casts a look upon its gateway of red sand stone. The fountains, the green garden with the pillars of cypress, the marble platform all add to the beauty of the tomb. (Book: The park is coloured………… lay buried). The garden is an appropriate setting lost in the contemplation of its beauty.

(Book: The tomb has four ……………………. Enjoyed a lot)
