All this honored things happened because of his hard work to preach the people the truth of life.

But the Buddha whispered to his friend Ananda that all this honored things happening to him his inadequate and have no meaning for it. He also told that he only believes to the earthly people who worship his teaching truly.

As night crawl, on the Buddha laid in his sleeping posture in pain and suffering. He was in pain and suffered because he conceded all the disease of the sentient beings. Later a Brahman came for his teaching but apprehensively Ananda stopped him because he thought that Buddha was in grave pain so he will be not able to teach but The Buddha said in his dying ascent told that he who comes for wisdom shall not go in futile and gave teaching to that Brahman in plain language an in dying ascent. Later after that, at night the Buddha passed away which is referred as Maha Parinirvana in Buddhist language.

"Invictus" is popular due to its empowering message of resilience and determination in the face of adversity. The poem's themes of self-reliance and inner strength resonate with many people, making it a source of inspiration and motivation.

Look for the book-"For Women Who Try To Do Too Much"- It is very spiritually revealing and an inspiration for those of us, who base their human value-on trying to do everything for everyone. I have a sister who still treats her two (unmarried of course, due to this phenomena) children as if they were teenagers and they still rely on her as teenage type personalities and my sister is turning 62 this fall. The daughter's situation frightens me-as we do not know what she will do when her mother dies over the next 15 or 20 years. Also, "Jesus Calling" by Sarah Young is a refreshing new twist on our relationship with Christ and makes Him so much more real and goes into great detail on how we should be feeling everyday.

It has been a source of faith and pride for Muslims over the centuries in that the Holy Qur'an is the preeminent word of the Almighty, inimitable in style and absolute in nature. This conviction is as strong for believers of today as it has been for believers of the past.

One such issue regards the question of pre-Islamic poetry in the Arabian Peninsula. The pagan Arabs of the pre-Islamic period were a proud and boastful people who were characterized by epic tales, heart-rending poetry, and eloquent prose. Indeed, their literary excellence had intoxicated them with glaring arrogance and self-worship. And then, with the revelation of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh), the Arabs had found a contest for their genius - The Holy Qur'an.

Suddenly, their pride had been undermined by something even greater than anything they could have ever dreamed of, a book that had never been matched in beauty, wisdom, and structure, and which has remained unchallenged right to the present day. For the Arabs, the question must have found it's time; can a more powerful book exist other than the one whose pen belongs to the Almighty himself?

Poetry is something which appeals to the emotions and feelings. The Quran, on the other hand is designed to inspire by arousing consciousness, conscience and will. When did poetry create a world movement, a civilization and empires?

Many Orientalists do not understand that Muslims regard the Quran as the Word of God, that it comes through a higher consciousness from an Objective Source, and that is how they interpret the words in the Quran. But even if they do not accept or understand this, it is surely unintelligent, to say the least, to interpret a book by criteria which are not the same as those which the author intended.
