"HE IS ONE, BUT NOT BY COUNTING. HE IS EVERLASTING WITHOUT
ANY LIMIT. HE IS EXISTENT WITHOUT ANY SUPPORT. HE IS NOT
BIG IN THE SENSE THAT VOLUME IS VAST AND SO HIS BODY IS
ALSO BIG. NOR IS HE GREAT IN THE SENSE THAT HIS LIMITS
SHOULD EXTEND TO THE UTMOST AND SO HIS FRAME BE EXTENSIVE.
BUT HE IS BIG IN POSITION AND GREAT IN AUTHORITY."
"THE MOST HELPLESS OF ALL MEN IS HE WHO CANNOT FIND
A FEW BROTHERS DURING HIS LIFE, BUT STILL MORE
HELPLESS IS HE WHO FINDS SUCH A BROTHER BUT LOSES
HIM."
"THERE IS MANY A PERSON WHO FASTS WHOSE FAST IS NOTHING
BUT JUST HUNGER AND THIRST, AND MANY AN OFFERER OF
PRAYERS WHOSE PRAYER IS NO BETTER THAN WAKEFULNESS
AND HARDSHIP. THE SLEEP AS WELL AS THE EATING OF THE
INTELLIGENT (GOD-KNOWING) PERSON IS FAR BETTER."
"IS IT THAT DEATH HAS BEEN ORDAINED FOR OTHERS? IS IT
THAT RIGHT IS OBLIGATORY ONLY ON OTHERS? IS IT THAT
THOSE WHOM WE SEE DEPARTING ON THEIR JOURNEY OF DEATH
WILL COME BACK TO US? WE LAY THEM DOWN IN THEIR GRAVES
AND THEN ENJOY THEIR ESTATE (AS IF WE WILL LIVE FOR
GOOD AFTER THEM). WE HAVE IGNORED EVERY PREACHER, MAN
OR WOMAN, AND HAVE EXPOSED OURSELVES TO EVERY CATASTROPHE."
"WHAT A DIFFERENCE THERE IS BETWEEN TWO KINDS OF
ACTION: AN ACT WHOSE PLEASURE PASSES AWAY BUT ITS
(ILL) CONSEQUENCES REMAINS, AND THE ACT WHOSE
HARDSHIP PASSES AWAY BUT ITS REWARD STAYS."
"AS INTELLIGENCE INCREASES, SPEECH DECREASES"
"WHENEVER A PERSON CONCEALS A THING IN HIS HEART
IT MANIFESTS ITSELF THROUGH UNINTENTIONAL WORDS
FROM HIS TONGUE AND (IN) THE EXPRESSIONS OF HIS
FACE."
"GREED IS A LASTING SLAVERY"
"REMEMBER THAT PLEASURES WILL PASS AWAY WHILE THE
CONSEQUENCES WILL STAY."
" DO NOT ASK ABOUT THINGS WHICH MAY NOT HAPPEN BECAUSE YOU HAVE
ENOUGH TO WORRY ABOUT WITH WHAT HAPPENS. "
" DO NOT REGARD AN EXPRESSION UTTERED BY ANY PERSON AS EVIL IF YOU
CAN FIND IT CAPABLE OF BEARING SOME GOOD. "
" THE MOST SERIOUS SIN IS THAT WHICH THE DOER CONSIDERS LIGHT. "
" PERCEPTION BY THE EYES IS NOT REAL OBSERVATION BECAUSE THE EYES
SOMETIMES DECEIVE PEOPLE; BUT WISDOM DOES NOT DECEIVE WHOMSOEVER
IT COUNSELS. "
"THE FIGHTER IN THE WAY OF ALLAH WHO GETS MARTYRED
WOULD NOT GET A GREATER REWARD THAN HE WHO REMAINS
CHASTE DESPITE MEANS. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT A CHASTE
PERSON MAY BECOME ONE OF THE ANGELS."
"INTERACT WITH PEOPLE IN SUCH A MANNER THAT IF YOU DIE
THEY SHOULD WEEP FOR YOU AND IF YOU LIVE THEY SHOULD
LONG FOR YOU."
"THE TOUGUE OF THE WISE MAN IS BEHIND HIS HEART
AND THE HEART OF THE FOOL IS BEHIND HIS TOUGUE."
"IF YOU COULD SEE THAT HAS BEEN SEEN BY THOSE OF YOU
WHO HAVE DIED , YOU WOULD BE PUZZLED AND TROUBLED.
THEN YOU WOULD HAVE LISTENED AND OBEYED ; BUT WHAT
THEY HAVE SEEN IS YET CURTAINED OFF FROM YOU. SHORTLY
THE CURTAIN WOULD BE THROWN OFF.
YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN, PROVIDED YOU SEE
AND YOU HAVE BEEN MADE TO LISTEN, PROVIDED YOU HEAR
AND YOU HAVE BEEN GUIDED, IF YOU ACCEPT GUIDANCE.
I SPEAK ONTO YOU WITH TRUTH ; YOU HAVE BEEN CALLED
ALOUD BY (INSTRUCTIVE) EXAMPLES AND WARNED THROUGH
ITEMS FULL OF WARNINGS. AND AFTER THE HEAVENLY
MESSENGERS, ONLY HUMANS CAN CONVEY MESSAGE FROM ALLAH."
"THE SIN THAT DISPLEASES YOU IS BETTER IN THE VIEW
OF ALLAH THAN THE VIRTUE WHICH MAKES YOU PROUD."
"THERE IS NO WEALTH LIKE WISDOM, NO DESTITUTION LIKE
IGNORANCE, NO INHERITANCE LIKE REFINEMENT AND NO
SUPPORT LIKE CONSULTATION."
"PATIENCE IS OF TWO KINDS, PATIENCE OVER WHAT PAINS
YOU, AND PATIENCE AGAINST WHAT YOU COVET (HATE)."
"THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD ARE LIKE TRAVELERS WHO ARE
BEING CARRIED WHILE THEY ARE ASLEEP."
"TO MISS WHAT ONE NEEDS IS EASIER THAN TO BEG FROM
AN INAPPROPRIATE PERSON."
"TIME WEARS OUR BODIES, RENEWS DESIRES, BRINGS DEATH
NEARER AND TAKES AWAY ASPIRATIONS. WHOEVER IS SUCCESSFUL
WITH IT ENCOUNTERS GRIEF AND WHOEVER MISSES ITS FAVORS
ALSO UNDERGOES HARDSHIPS."
"THE EXAMPLE OF THE WORLD IS LIKE A SERPENT. IT IS
SOFT TO THE TOUCH BUT ITS INSIDE IS FULL OF VENON.
AN IGNORANT PERSON WHO HAS FALLEN INTO DECEIT IS
ATTRACTED TO IT, BUT A WISE AND INTELLIGENT MAN
KEEPS ON HIS GUARD AGAINST IT."
"WHOEVER PLACES HIMSELF AS A LEADER OF THE PEOPLE SHOULD
COMMENCE WITH EDUCATING HIS OWN SELF BEFORE EDUCATING
OTHERS; AND HIS TEACHING SHOULD BE BY HIS OWN CONDUCT
BEFORE TEACHING BY THE TONGUE. THE PERSON WHO TEACHES
AND INSTRUCTS HIS OWN SELF IS MORE ENTITLED TO ESTEEM
THEN HE WHO TEACHES AND INSTRUCTS OTHERS."
"THIS WORLD IS A PLACE OF TRANSIT, NOT A PLACE FOR STAY.
THE PEOPLE HEREIN ARE OF TWO CATEGORIES. ONE IS THE
PERSON WHO SOLD AWAY HIS/HER SELF (TO HIS/HER PASSIONS)
AND THUS RUINED IT, AND THE OTHER IS THE PERSON WHO
PURCHASED HIS/HER SELF (BY CONTROL AGAINST PASSIONS)
AND FREED IT."
"KNOWLEDGE IS BETTER THAN WEALTH. KNOWLEDGE GUARDS YOU
WHILE YOU HAVE TO GUARD THE WEALTH. WEALTH DECREASES
BY SPENDING, WHILE KNOWLEDGE MULTIPLIES BY SPENDING,
AND THE RESULTS OF WEALTH DIE AS WEALTH DECAYS.
KNOWLEDGE IS BELIEF WHICH IS ACTED UPON. WITH IT A
PERSON ACQUIRES OBEDIENCE DURING HIS LIFE AND A GOOD
NAME AFTER HIS DEATH. KNOWLEDGE IS THE RULER WHILE
WEALTH IS RULED UPON."
"FOR THE PERSON WHO HAS EYES (VISION) THE DAWN HAS
ALREADY APPEARED."
"IF PATIENCE DOES NOT GIVE RELIEF TO A PERSON, IMPATIENCE
KILLS HIM/HER."
"BELIEF MEANS APPRECIATION WITH THE HEART, ACKNOWLEDGMENT
WITH THE TONGUE AND ACTION WITH THE LIMBS."
"PEOPLE ARE ENEMISE OF WHAT THEY DO NOT KNOW"
"THERE IS NO ADVANTAGE IN KEEPING QUIET ABOUT AN ISSUE OF
WISDOM JUST AS THERE IS NO GOOD IN SPEAKING OUT AN
UNINTELLIGENT THING"
"IF THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT CALLS THEN ONE OF THEM MUST BE
TOWARDS MISGUIDANCE"
"OH PEOPLE FEAR ALLAH WHO IS SUCH THAT WHEN YOU SPEAK HE HEARS
AND WHEN YOU CONCEAL ( A SECRET ) HE KNOWS IT. PREPARE
YOURSELF TO MEET DEATH WHICH WILL OVERTAKE YOU EVEN IF YOU
RUN AWAY, CATCH YOU EVEN IF YOU STAY AND REMEMBER YOU EVEN IF
YOU FORGET IT "
"DO NOT TURN YOUR KNOWLEDGE INTO IGNORANCE OR YOUR CONVICTION
INTO DOUBT. WHEN YOU GAIN KNOWLEDGE ACT UPON IT AND WHEN YOU
ACQUIRE CONVICTION PROCEED ON IT'S BASIS. "
