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!

The dearest of you as long as you have not met us are the best in names. But after we had seen you, the best of you to us are the best of you in character. When we scrutinize you, the dearest of you to us are the most truthful of you in speech.

When Sayyiduna 'Umar Radi ALLAHu Ta'ala Anho camped on the outskirts of Jerusalem to conquer Bait al-Maqdas, the Christian Crusaders were terrified of his presence and requested a meeting with him before handing over the keys of the city. The Crusaders met him whilst he wore a patched garb. They asked him the reason as to why his name generated such immense awe and fear that captured the hearts of his enemies. He replied; “Your kings taught you to love the World (Duniyah) and its wealth and our Prophet Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam taught us to fear ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala and love death

One who guards his secrets is surely safe.

Honour and dignity in this World is measured by wealth while honour and dignity in the Hereafter is measured by good deeds.

The sound of music and that of a mourner are two of the worst sounds

There are four types of Regrets: Regret that spans over a day e.g. When a person leaves his home without eating. Regret that spans over a year, just like the negligence shown when cultivating.
