By Allah, whenever I endure any adversity I gain four blessings of Allah in exchange. The first of them is, when the adversity is not caused by my sin (virtue is earned). The second, when the adversity is not greater than my sin (virtue is earned). The third, when I am not deprived of contentment (virtue is earned). And the fourth, I hope for virtues thereby.

Fear Allah, for He alone lives; all other things are liable to perish.

The efficacy of a prayer depends not on the words but on the sincerity of intention.

The death of a thousand worshipers is easier to bear than the death of a scholar who has knowledge of what Allah has permitted and forbidden.

Do not be an arrogant scholar, for scholarship cannot subsist with arrogance.

The happiest of people is the one under whose care people are happy because of him, and the most miserable of people is the one under whose care people are miserable because of him.

That which you do not wish for yourself, do not impose on others.
