There are five dark matters and five lamps. Love of this world is darkness, and the fear of Allaah is its lamp. Sin is darkness, and its lamp is repentance. The grave is darkness, and its lamp is 'none has the right to be worshipped but Allaah, and Muhammad is the messenger of Allaah.' The hereafter is darkness, and its lamp is the good deed. The Siraat is darkness, and its lamp is certainty of faith.

He who is not impressed by sound advice, lacks faith.

He who avoids complaint invites happiness.

There is greatness in the fear of God, contentment in faith of God, and honour in humility.

It is bad for a young man to sin; but it is worse for an old man to sin.

Use the same measure for selling that you use for purchasing.

To fight against the infidels is Jihad; but to fight against your evil self is greater Jihad.
