The Favours of your Lord

I received a rose as a gift yesterday from a friend I never met, via another friend I only met twice.

Alhamdu Lillah for the favour of friends whose friendship is based on mutual love for the sake of Allah Ta'aala.

Alhamdu Lillah for the favour of the beautiful sight and scent of the red rose and the prickly thorns that accompany it everywhere.

And not to forgot tasting a fruit I had never eaten before, the jamun.

فَبِأَيِّ آلَاءِ رَبِّكُمَا تُكَذِّبَانِ

Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?
