The Pencil Maker told the pencil: There are 5 things you need to know before I send you to the world. Always remember them and you’ll be the best pencil you can.
ONE: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you let yourself be held in Someone's hand.
TWO: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, but you'll need it to become a better pencil.
THREE: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make.
FOUR: The most important part of you is what's inside (the lead).
FIVE: On every surface you are used, leave your mark.
Now replace the pencil with us; always remember them and never forget, and you will become the best person you can be.
ONE: You will be able to do many great things, but only if you place your Trust in Allah.
TWO: You will experience a painful sharpening from time to time, by going through various problems, but you'll need it to become a stronger person.
THREE: You will be able to correct any mistakes you might make by tauba (repentance).
FOUR: The most important part of you will always be what's on the inside.
FIVE: On every surface you walk through, you must leave your mark.
