The Playground

One of my favorite quotes is "there is no such thing as idle time". I tried searching for the source but can't find it somehow. If I can recall correctly it was said by Imam Al-Ghazali. The story goes,  he was at the playground with a group of other kids. When asked why wasn't he playing like the rest,  he replied "I am not like the other kids"

True to his words, he became one of the most influential people in the history of Islam. His philosophy is so profound that it takes a great deal of patience and intelligence to read his books.
