If you knew what I know
لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا، وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا
Law ta'lamuna ma a'lamu la-dahiktum qalilan, wa la-bakaytum kathira.
"If you knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep much."
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah. Sahih al-Bukhari 6485
A short reflection
Not a ban on joy. A reminder that the unseen is real, and a heart that remembers it laughs more gently.
