Bitterness of this world is the sweetness of other world;
the sweetness of this world is the bitterness of the nest one.
If you want an oppressor to take an oath, ask him to swear
like this that he is out of Allah’s might and His Power, because if he swears falsely
in this way he will be quickly punished, while if he swears by Allah such that there
is no god but He, he will not be quickly punished since he is expressing the Unity
of Allah, the Sublime.

your property and do about it whatever you want it to be done after your death.

charity.
There is many a man gradually brought towards punishment by polite
treatment with him, many a man remains in deceit because his evils are covered,
many a man who is in illusion because of good talk about him, while there is no
greater ordeal by Allah, the Glorified, than the giving of time.

your bereaved ones also.

into doubt. When you gain knowledge act upon it and when acquire conviction proceed
(on its basis).
A small action which is continued with regularity is more
beneficial than a long one performed with disgust.
When optional issues stand in the way of obligations, abandon
them.
Whoever keeps in view the distance of the journey remains
prepared.
Perception by the eyes is not real observation because the
eyes sometimes deceive people; but wisdom does not deceive whomsoever it
counsels.
He whom death overtakes early seeks time while he whose
death is deferred put forth excuses for postponement.
When asked about Destiny, he said, “It is a dark path, do
not tread on it, it is a deep ocean, do not dive in it, and it is a secret of
Allah, do not take trouble about (knowing) it.
When Allah intends to humiliate a person, He denies him
knowledge.
Your friends are three and your enemies are three. Your
friends are your friend, your friend’s friend, and your enemy’s enemy. And your
enemies are your enemy, your friend’s enemy, and your enemy’s friend.
