No one is moved to act, or resolves to speak a single word, who does not hope by means of this action or word to release anxiety from his spirit.

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

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?

If there is someone in need whom you wish to help, whether the initiative came from him or from you, do no more than he expects of you, not what you might personally wish to do. If you overstep the mark, you will not deserve thanks, but blame from him and others and you will attract hostility, not friendship.

Knowledge no longer exists if one has ignored the attributes of the Almighty Great Creator.

Glad-tidings to he who knows his own faults more than other people know it.

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