I wrote a compilation article on Quotes From Imam Ali ranging on four categories (knowledge, death, friendship, and forgiveness). Here are my favorites from each category. Quotes From Hazrat Ali - Wisdom and Knowledge 1. The biggest shame is to mock at something that you have in yourself 2. Two things define you: Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything. 3. Through patience, great things are accomplished. 4. Knowledge is a venerable estate; good manners are new dresses; and thinking is clear mirror. 5. If someone is quick in saying about people what they dislike, they speak about him that about which they have no knowledge.
6. Fear the attack of a noble person when he is hungry, and that of an ignoble person when he is satiated. 7. The worth of a man is according to his courage, his truthfulness is according to his balance of temper, his valour is according to his self-respect and his chasteness is according to his sense of shame. 8. When you get (only) small favors do not push them away through lack of gratefulness. 9. Keep walking in your sickness as long as you can. 10. Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly. Quotes From Hazrat Ali - Death 11. Gone Are those who pile wealth, even while they are alive. But those who are knowledgeable stay as long as there is night & day: although their bodies may be dead, but their knowledge is alive in the hearts. 12. He who trusts the world, the world betrays him. 13. Don’t show pleasure in somebody’s downfall, for you have no knowledge of what the future holds in store for you. 14. Aim to live in this world without allowing the world to live inside you because when a boat sits on water, it sails perfectly, but when water enters the boat, it sinks. Quotes From Hazrat Ali - Forgiveness 15. The worst sin is that which the sinner takes lightly. 16. Try to be honest for Allah is the helper of honest people, Avoid telling lies since it will ruin your faith. Know that honest people are on the verge of nobility and honor, while liars area on the verge of collapse and destruction. The best revenge is to improve yourself. 17. Fear the sins that you commit in secret because the witness of those sins is the Judge Himself. 18. Forgive the shortcomings of people of virtue and honor because when they fall into error Allah raises them up. Quotes From Hazrat Ali - Love & Friendship 19. It is easier to turn a mountain into dust than to create love in a heart that filled with hatred. 20. Woman is a delicate creature with strong emotions who has been created by the Almighty God to shoulder responsibility for educating society and moving toward perfection. God created woman as symbol of His own beauty and to give solace to her partner and her family 21. Meet people in such a manner that if you die they should weep for you and if you live they should long for you. 22. A lack of friends means strangeness. 23. It’s never the value of water but thirst, it’s never the value of life but death and it’s never about the friendship but trust. 24. A brother is like gold and a friend is like diamond. If gold cracks you can melt it and make it just like it was before. If a diamond cracks, it can never be like it was before. 25. A friend cannot be considered a friend until he is tested in three occasions: in time of need, behind your back, and after your death,

"We should not be ashamed to acknowledge Truth from whatever source it comes to us, even if it is brought to us by former generations and foreign peoples. For him who seeks the Truth, there is nothing of higher value than Truth itself." Al Kindi
1. “And it is He who created the heavens and earth in truth. And the day He says, “Be,” and it is, His word is the truth. And His is the dominion [on] the Day the Horn is blown. [He is] Knower of the unseen and the witnessed; and He is the Wise, the Acquainted.” (Surah An'am Ayat 73)
2. And the worldly life is not but amusement and diversion; but the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah, so will you not reason? (Surah An'am Ayat 32)
3. On Gambling and Drinking: O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful. (Surah Maidah Ayat 90)
4. Allah wills to lighten (things) for you, and man was created a weakling. (Surah An Nisa Ayat 29)
I started posting on twitter almost daily for past week with Quran Quotes so if you're interested to keep these updates follow https://twitter.com/MyIslam16 will go one chapter at a time.
You know why we are all so happy in Ramadan? Because for one month in a year, we are all doing what we were created to do - worship in a state of brokenness and gratitude.”
And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' "[Qur'aan 14:7]
Do not dwell over the 10% Allaah has not given you. Be grateful for the 100% He has given you. When you do, He will increase you.
Be grateful. You can walk. You can see. You can eat. You can sleep.Once you begin to count the blessings, they just do not stop.
And He gave you from all you asked of Him. And if you should count the favor of Allah , you could not enumerate them.Indeed, mankind is [generally] most unjust and ungrateful.[Qur'aan 14:34]
Imagine if you lost a finger. If just one finger went missing. Wait. Do not go that far.Imagine if you cut your finger very deep. How hard does everything become.Do you really need reminders such as this?
Do you really need to be subjected to trials to remember the blessings Allaah has given you?Do not be the one who learns after he is subjected to difficulty.Be grateful to Allaah. There is so much.
Do not cry over the little He has not given you. He hasn't given it to you for your own good.
Be grateful for the mountains of blessings He has bestowed upon you.Be grateful before He takes away what you have and you are left with nothing but tears.
