all's well that ends well Explanation: if this in context with الأمور بخواتيمها or العبرة في النهاية then i'd suggest the popular: "all's well that ends well" or: "he laughs best who laughs last" |

The proof of the pudding Explanation: Hi, Yes, you are right. Although I don't like pudding, but I can't think of anything better. It means that based only on the final result, an opinion/judgement/advice can be made. العبرة has been used in several contexts also to mean learning from one's mistakes or the mistakes of others. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2007-03-10 15:25:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://audio.islamweb.net/audio/index.php?page=FullContent&a... |
