The Philippines is home to the world’s biggest pear- the Pearl of Allah. But do you know how pearls are formed?
Out of pain can come a beautiful jewel like the pearl. A grain of sand that enters the oysters irritates it and causes it pain.
The oyster reacts by releasing a liquid to ease the pain. The liquid accumulates around the foreign material and covers it. This marks
the beginning of the pearl. Constant pain because of the irritation of the foreign material causes the liquid to accumulate around the
foreign body. The liquid then hardens and form a pearl. So the pearl is a consequence of the oyster’s resistance to the pain of a
foreign object.
The story of the pearl is reflected all around us. When there is no suffering and no struggle, there is no prize. The prize of
the pains of the oyster is a beautiful pearl.
