"Whoever treats others in a certain way will be treated by Allah in the same manner, both in this world and the Hereafter. Allah deals with His servant as the servant deals with others."

"How strange is a man who has known his companion for fifty years, experiencing only his kindness and sincerity, and seeing nothing but good from him. Then, a stranger comes along, speaks ill of that companion, and he believes the stranger, discarding all those years of trust."

"Certainty weakens when the heart leans toward creation and away from Allah. True certainty is firm knowledge in the heart, trusting Allah, and being content with His decree."

"And they hope for His mercy and fear His punishment." [Quran 17:57]

"Guard your tongue and only speak when there’s clear benefit. If speaking and silence are equally good, stay silent. Speech can often lead to harm, and nothing is safer than silence."
— Kitab Al-Adhkar by Imam Al-Nawawi

"How tender the words of old Arabs sound:
'O right eye of mine,' they’d gently surround.
And in today’s voices, a phrase so sweet:
'Bless your heart,' a kindness complete.
Yet when I speak to hearts sincere,
'O child of faith,' feels most clear."

Al-Asma’i said:
"Six people are never free from sadness:
A poor person who recently lost wealth

A rich person is afraid of losing it
The envious
The spiteful
Someone in a position beyond their capability
Someone among the wise but lacks wisdom."

"I do not call for taking a life,
But if one seeks to take yours, do not stand by.
‘Humanity,’ they say, is a noble art,
Yet a chain the strong forged to bind the weak in heart."

He said, "O Umar, it’s just a few days, and we’ll pass on." Umar cried, saying, "The world changed all of us, except you, Abu Ubaidah."

O Allah, grant us hearts like his, where goodness only grows. Truly, the real life is the life of the Hereafter.
