The most important of your affairs in my view is prayer; whoever prays regularly has protected his faith, but whoever neglects it, is bound to be more negligent in other issues of faith.
Do not put off today’s work until tomorrow, lest work accumulate and you achieve nothing.
The criterion of action is that todays work should not be deferred till the following day.
Do not put off today’s work for tomorrow.
Let not your love become attachment, nor your hate become destruction.
When you do not know of a thing say so plainly.
Forgive people so that Allah may forgive you.
Acquire knowledge, and learn tranquility and dignity.
To forgive an oppressor is oppression upon the oppressed.
Do not be misled by hearing of anyone’s reputation.
O Allah do not give me in excess lest I may be disobedient.
Death is teacher enough, true faith is wealth enough, and worship is action enough.
Do not be deceived by a man’s eloquence; rather whoever fulfils trusts and refrains from impugning people’s honour is a real man.
Be patient; patience is a pillar of faith.
Try as much as you can to mention death. For if you were having hard times in your life, then it would give you more hope and would ease things for you. And if you were having abundant affluence of living in luxury, then it would make it less luxurious.
Preserve the sayings of those people who are indifferent to the world. They say only that what Allah wishes them to say.
May Allah have mercy on him who sends me my faults as a present.
Fear Allah, for He alone lives; all other things are liable to perish.
On every dishonest man, there are two watchmen, his possessions, and his way of living.
