Conflict.

Nor can goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (Evil) with what is better: Then will he between whom and thee was hatred become as it were thy friend and intimate!
 And no one will be granted such goodness except those who exercise patience and self-restrain-- none but persons of the greatest good fortune."


And if an incitement to discord is made to you by the evil one, seek refuge in Allah. He is the one Who hears and knows all things."

Quran 41:34 - 41:36

Somethings are better left unsaid.




Again we were squabbling about the house chores. who's going to wash the dishes and who's going to do the laundry...

"I hung several clothes."

"Why did you do that?? It's her turn."

"So, now you have to hang the clothes and do the dishes."

"huhh.. no. I'll wash the dishes, and you'll hang them"

"That time you said you were sick and then you laughed (so you didn't hang the clothes that day)"

"I WAS sick."

"*mumbled something unpleasant* ...buruk perangai."

** silent **

A comeback was needed but some restrain was needed too, so the sibling said,
"Good luck to you."

** silent **

After some thoughts on the implication of that statement, another sibling replied,
"Good luck to you too."

** silent **


"... Thank you."


And then the squabble ended.
