Do not be fooled by one who recites the Qurรขn. His recitation is but speech โ but look to those who act according to it.
UmarThe 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.
UmarI am surprised at three things: 1. [A] man runs from death while death is inevitable. 2. One sees minor faults in others, yet overlooks his own major faults. 3. When there is any defect to one's cattle he tries to cure it, but does not cure his own defects.
UmarBy 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.
Umar
