If i were to backbite against anyone, it would be about my parents for they have more right to my good deeds

I studied adab for thirty years and I studied knowledge for twenty years.

Sins slowly suffocate the heart, and abandoning sins brings life to the heart.

I love the saliheen (pious people) even though I’m not one of them, and I hate the taliheen (evil people) even though I (may be) worse than them.

If you desire the path of sincerity, develop a love for obscurity. Flee from the clatter and clinks of fame. Be like the roots of a tree; it keeps the tree upright and gives it life, but it itself is hidden underneath the earth and eyes cannot see it.

We are a people in more need of a little character than we are in need of an abundance of knowledge.
