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 fears to weep, should learn to be kind to those who weep.

He who avoids complaint invites happiness.

Cursed is the man who dies, but the evil done by him survives.

Knowledge is the life of the mind.

The more knowledge you have, the greater will be your fear of Allah.

It is difficult to be patient but to waste the rewards of patience is worse.
