Oh Allah! I told You I'm in pain You said: "Do not despair of the mercy of Allah." (Al-Qur'an 39:53) I told You nobody knows what is in my heart You said: "Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest." (Al-Qur'an 13:28) I told You many people hurt me You said: "So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them." (Al-Qur'an 3:159) I told You I feel I'm alone You said: "We are closer to him than (his) jugular vein." (Al-Qur'an 50:16) I told You my sins are so many You said: "And who can forgive sins except Allah?" (Al-Qur'an 3:135) I told You do not leave me You said: "So remember Me; I will remember you."

One per cent. The thing is always insignificant, but affects every life living in the whole world. For example, our financial life depends on what so-called as inflation (or deflation). Every single per cent means new tactics of living, especially for those who aren't lucky. One per cent can also be spectacular, unimaginable, something people always dreamed of.

Well, after all, one per cent is probably what defines people. We always struggle to be the only one; without thinking that isn't always an important thing, and more impor...
