To speak less is wisdom, to eat less is healthy, to sleep less is a prayer and there is peace in solitude.

Good behavior towards people is equivalent to wisdom, to request politely is half of knowledge, and to ascribe to sound policies is half of one’s livelihood.

Help me against myself by enjoining good, forbidding evil, and sincerely advising me.

The one who laughs too much loses dignity; one who jokes too much loses respect; whoever does something a great deal, becomes known for it; one who speaks a great deal makes mistakes; one who makes many mistakes loses his sense of dignity. Whoever loses his sense of dignity loses his God-fearing and whoever loses his God-fearing is spiritually dead.

The most beloved of people to me is he that points out my flaws to me.

Once Sayyiduna Umar was in his garden, when coming back, he found that the people had performed the Asr Prayer. Thereby, he said, ‘We will surely return to Allah! I missed the Asr Prayer in congregation. May you witness that I gave my garden in charity to the needy so as to expiate what Umar had done.

There is no goodness in you if you do not say ‘Fear Allah’ and there is no goodness in us if we do not listen.
