Two things cause people to be destroyed: fear of poverty and seeking superiority through pride.

Greed takes a person to the watering place but gets him back without letting him drink. It undertakes responsibility but does not fulfill it. Often the drinker gets choked before quenching his thirst. The greater the worth of a thing yearned for, the greater is the grief for its loss. Desires blind the eyes of understanding. The destined share would reach him who does not approach it.

The disease of the heart is worse than the disease of the body.

The vision of the eye is limited; the vision of the heart transcends all barriers of time and space.

Be like a flower that gives its fragrance even to the hand that crushed it.

Asceticism is not that you should not own anything, but that nothing should own you.

"The best form of devotion to the service of Allah is not to make a show of it."
