The wise man knows the only fitting price for his soul is a place in Paradise.

If you advise someone on the condition that they have to accept it, then you are an oppressor.

We should think of those who were famous for their good deeds or their bad deeds; did their fame raise them one single degree in the sight of Allah. Did it win them a reward that they had not already won by their actions during their life?

Of Love--may God exalt you! -the first part is jesting, and the last part is right earnestness. So majestic are its diverse aspects, they are too subtle to be described; their reality can only be apprehended by personal experience. Love is neither disapproved by Religion, nor prohibited by the Law; for every heart is in God's hands.

What indicates a person’s weak religion and fear of God, is that he seeks for an opinion that suits his desire.

When you compare yourself with others in matters of wealth, position, and health, you should look at people less favoured than yourself. When you compare yourself with others in matters of religion, knowledge and virtue, look at people who are better than yourself.

Anyone who criticizes you cares about your friendship. Anyone who makes light of your faults cares nothing about you.
