Wisdom from the Best of Mankind

    “Wisdom and knowledge are things that the believer lacks. He should take them wherever he finds them.” [Tirmidhi]   “If Abu Bakr is dead and Umar is Caliph, then we hear and obey.” Khalid ibn al-Walid (RA)   “Good actions are a guard against the blows of adversity.” Abu Bakr (RA)   “Body is purified by water. Ego by tears. Intellect is purified by knowledge. And soul is purified with love.” Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA)   “If you expect the blessings of God, be kind to His people.” Abu Bakr (RA)   “Cursed is the man who dies, but the evil done by him survives.” Abu Bakr (RA)   “Blessed is he whose own faults keep him from seeing the faults of others.” Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA)   Put aside your pride, and remember your grave. Ali ibn Abi Talib (RA)  

Counsel of Uthman ibn Affan (RA)

    “Absorption in worldly affairs breeds darkness in the heart, and absorption in the affairs of the next world breeds light in the heart.”   “Acquire wisdom from the story of those who have already passed.”   “Three worldly things have been made dear to me: feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and reading the Qur'an.”   “If the hearts are pure, they will never have enough from reciting Allah's words (the Qur'an).”   “Enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil before the worst amongst you are given authority over you and then when even the best of you make dua against them, their duas will not be accepted.”
