Blessed is he whose own faults keep him from seeing the faults of others.

Be a good man to Allah and a bad man to yourself (desires); and be one of the commoners among the people

Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.

In this world, man is a target of death, an easy prey to calamities, here every morsel and every draught is liable to choke one, here one never receives a favour until he loses another instead, here every additional day in one's life is a day reduced from the total span of his existence, when death is the natural outcome of life, how can we expect immortality.

Many a spoken word is more piercing than an attack.

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

Not every man with a heart is understanding, nor every man with an ear a listener, and nor every man with eyes able to see.
