Hey I loved this small quote of your's , Now the problem is I don't completly understand words in Urdu, I just need to know the meaning of "rizq aqal-o-danish". And you have a beautiful blog here, I don't know how I ended up here , but I like it.

Thanks Neel...

This is Hazrat Ali quote from his book "nahjul balaga"

Rizq means food

Aqal-o-danish means intellect

"If food only can be labored by brain and intellect - all birds and 'not so itelligent' people would have died"

I frequently think, as I read more about Nahj-ul-bagha that Hazrat Ali was a genius of his own kind

I think, its a must read book....

There are lot of things in that book I didn't agree when I was young, but over years - I found them true...

but every animal have brain when we eat goat head we find brain in it even fish chicken all have brain they have their own language which they understand among them. That is allah's wish that he has kept us away from us if they would have been among us there would have been more chaos.

Personally I think its an intellect (sochne samjhne aur faisla kerne ki quwwat) - thats what Hazrat Ali is talking.
