2. Hadith-e-Qudsi
“The angels asked, "O God! Is there anything of Your creation stronger than rocks?" God said, "Yes; iron is stronger than rocks, for it breaks them." The angels said, "O Lord! Is there anything of Your creation stronger than iron?" God said, "Yes; fire is stronger than iron, for it melts it." And the angels said, O defender! Is there anything of Your creation stronger than fire?" God said, "Yes; water overcomes fire; it kills it and makes it cold." Then the angels said, "O Lord! Is there anything of Your creation stronger than water?" God said, "Yes; wind overcomes water: it agitates it and puts it in motion." They said, "O our cherisher! Is there anything in Your creation stronger than wind?" God said, "Yes, the children of Adam, giving alms; that is, those who give with their right hands and conceal if from their left, they overcome all."

5. An Urbanized World
54% of the world population live in urban areas generating more than 80% of global GDP (60% natural growth, 40% migration)
3.9 billion people: about half in settlements of less than 500,000 people and one in eight live in 28 megacities with more than 10 million people
Africa and Asia remain mostly rural but are urbanizing faster than any other regions. Both are projected to become 56% and 64% urban, respectively, by 2050
Continuing population growth and urbanization are projected to add 2.5 billion people to the world’s urban population by , with nearly 90% of this increase concentrated in Asia and Africa
