48 If out of arrogance, I have done a
wrong act that has caused trouble to
–
the other person would God forgive

me or would I be punished for the act?

ou should seek forgiveness from the person you
Ydemonstrated arrogance with. If that person is not
available, then pray for him. The principle is that if the
person is available, go and seek forgiveness from him, but
if he is not available, pray for him.

49 As we continue to have busy work
schedules, how do we extract wisdom

from our daily experiences?

here is a lesson given in the Quran in Surah An-Nahl.
TAccording to it, the honeybee goes into the world of
flowers and takes away nectar from it. Similarly, while
living in this material world a human being must extract
spiritual food from his daily experience and observation.
Wherever you may be, in business, job, or shopping
centre, you should keep your mind active. In this way it
will keep extracting spiritual nectar for your soul.

The nectar for the bee is not kept elsewhere, but inside
the flower it goes to. In the same way, the nectar for a
person is also not kept anywhere special, rather it is in
every sphere of life.
