If you rely on God as He ought to be relied upon, He will provide you as He provides the birds; they go out empty and hungry in the morning and come back big bellied at eventide.

More harm is done by fools through foolishness than is done by evil-doers through wickedness.

Verily, God is Compassionate and is fond of compassion, and He gives to the compassionate what He does not give to the harsh.

If you disclose your alms, even then it is well done, but if you keep them secret, and give them to the poor, then that is better still for you;?and this wipes off from you some of your evil deeds.

The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self.

When something weighs on your conscience, give it up.

A good friend and a bad friend are like a perfume-seller and a blacksmith: The perfume-seller might give you some perfume as a gift, or you might buy some from him, or at least you might smell its fragrance. As for the blacksmith, he might singe your clothes, and at the very least you will breathe in the fumes of the furnace.
