Notable Words Of Wisdom.

[Abu Fauzi]

Assalam alaykum,
May I have the pleasure of sharing with you the following Words of Wisdom for your study, perusal and use as they contain the potential of making us Good Muslims and, hopefully, among those moving closer to Allah, the Exalted and Glorified Lord of the Universe. They are:--


"THE QUR'AN IS LIKE A FRIEND.... THE LONGER THE FRIENDSHIP LASTS THE MORE YOU WILL KNOW
OF ITS SECRETS, AS A FRIEND DOESN'T REVEAL HIS SECRETS TO SOMEONE WHO SITS WITH HIM
FOR A FEW MINUTES AND THEN LEAVES".-- Muhammad al-Awaji


" THE SIGNS OF GOD'S LOVE IS TO BESTOW 3 ATTRIBUTES ON HIS LOVER: A GENEROSITY LIKE
THAT OF THE SEA, A KINDNESS LIKE THAT OF THE SUN, AND A HUMILITY LIKE THAT OF THE
EARTH".-- Abu Yazid al-Bistami.


"NOBILITY LIES IN MODESTY; GREATNESS LIES IN FEAR OF GOD; AND FREEDOM LIES IN CONTENTMENT". -Ibrahim Ibn Shayban.


" WHEN THE HEART FINDS SOLACE IN SOMETHIN G OTHER THAN GOD MOST HIGH, IT IS BARRED FROM
SMELLING THE FRAGRANCE OF CERTAINTY."-- Sahl Ibn Abdullah


" CERTAINTY PROMTS THE SERVANT TO CUT SHORT HIS HOPES [for the things of this world]; CUTTING SHORT
ONE's HOPES, IN TURN, PROMTS HIM TO [embrace] RENUNCIATION; RENUNCIATION PRODUCES WISDOM,
AND WISDOM PRODUCES DESIRE TO PONDER UPON ONE's FATE IN THE HEREAFTER". --Dhu'l Nun al-Misri.
