Avoiding the temptation to sin and being patient upon that, is greater than being patient whilst being afflicted with trials.

Whatever is not done by the permission of Allah will not happen, and what is not done for the sake of Allah will not benefit or remain.

Guidance is not attained except with knowledge and correct direction is not attained except with patience.

It is strange that a person may find it easy to protect himself from: eating Haraam, oppression and injustice, adultery, theft, drinking khamr (alcoholic drinks), and from unlawful looking, but it is hard for him to restrain the movement of his tongue. How often do we see people who are very cautious about falling into shameful deeds or injustice, but their tongue lashes against the living and the dead and they don't mind it?

Some people have the disease of criticising all the time. They forget the good about others and only mention their faults. They are like flies that avoid the good and pure places and land on the bad and wounds. This is because of the evil within the self and the spoiled nature.

The entire religion revolves around acknowledging the truth and then acting upon it.

Imprisoned is he whose heart is imprisoned from Allâh. Captured is he who is captured by his desires.
