How strange and foolish is man. He looses his health in gaining wealth. Then to regain health he wastes his wealth. He ruins is present while worrying about his future - but weeps in the future by recalling his past. He lives as though death shall never come to him - but dies in a way as if he were never born.

He who busies himself with things other than improvement of his own self becomes perplexed in darkness and entangled in ruin. His evil spirits immerse him deep in vices and make his bad actions seem handsome.

Whoever educates himself and improves his own morals & character is superior to the man who tries to teach & train others.

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

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

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

I wonder at a man who loses hope of salvation when the door of repentance is open for him.
