A calamity does not descend except due to a sin and it is not lifted except with repentance.

Many a spoken word is more piercing than an attack.

Always consider your intellect to be lacking; otherwise too much faith in it surely leads to error.

The sin which makes you sad and repentant is more liked by Allah than the good deed which turns you arrogant.

Fear only the will of God and you will have no cause to fear anyone else.

Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people may mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company.

Silence is the best reply to a fool.
