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.

Be good to others, that will protect you against evil.

It is a matter of shame that in the morning the birds should be awake earlier than you.

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