FOLLWING are some of the words of wisdom from our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). n “Who are the learned? Those who practice what they know.” (Bukhari) n “Allah has revealed to me, that you must be humble. No one should boast over one another, and no one should oppress another.” (Iyad Bin Hinar Al-Mujashi: Muslim) n “Who is the most favored of Allah? He, from whom the greatest good comes to His creatures.” (Bukhari) n “A true Muslim is thankful to Allah in prosperity, and resigned to His will in adversity.” (Muslim) n “A Muslim who meets with others and shares their burdens is better than one who lives a life of seclusion and contemplation.” (Muslim) n “Serve Allah, as you would if you could see Him; although you cannot see Him, He can see you. (Umar: Muslim) n “Allah does not look at your appearance or your possessions; but He looks at your heart and your deeds.” (Abu Huraira: Muslim) n “The best richness is the richness of the soul.” (Bukhari) n “Keep yourselves far from envy; because it eats up and takes away good actions, like a fire eats up and burns firewood.” (Abu Daud) n “Much silence and a good disposition, there are no two things better than these.” (Bukhari) n “Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him.” (Bukhari) n “Once the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked: ‘Which action is dearest to Allah?' He answered: ‘To say your prayer at its proper time.' Again he was asked: ‘What comes next?' Muhammad (pbuh) said: ‘To show kindness to parents.' ‘Then what?' he was asked, ‘To strive in the cause of Allah.” (Ibn Masad: Bukhari) n “Verily, it is one of the ways of showing respect to Allah to honor an old man.” (Bukhari) n “All Muslims are like a foundation, each strengthening the other; in such a way they do support each other.” (Abu Musa: Bukhari & Muslim) n “Strive always to excel in virtue and truth.” (Bukhari) n “You will not enter paradise until you have faith; and you will not complete your faith till you love one another.” (Muslim) n “He, who wishes to enter paradise from the best gate, must please his father and mother.” (Bukhari & Muslim) n “I am leaving two things among you, and if you cling to them firmly you will never go astray; one is the Book of Allah and the other is my way of life.” (Farewell Pilgrimage: Muwatta) n “Allah is One and likes Unity.” (Muslim) n “The best of alms is that which the right hand gives and the left hand knows not of.” (Bukhari) n “He is not a perfect Muslim, who eats till he is full and leaves his neighbors hungry.” (Ibn Abbas: Baihaqi) n “He is not of us who is not affectionate to the little ones, and does not respect the old; and he is not of us, who does not order which is lawful, and prohibits that which is unlawful.” (Ibn Abbas: Tirmidhi) n “No man is a true believer unless he desires for his brother what he desires for himself.” (Abu Hamza Anas: Bukhari & Muslim) n “To strive in the cause of Allah from daybreak to noon and sunset is better than the goods and enjoyment of the whole worldly life.” (Bukhari) n “Be not like the hypocrite who, when he talks, tells lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he proves dishonest.” (Bukhari & Muslim) n “The proof of a Muslim's sincerity is that he pays no heed to that which is not his business.” (Abu Huraira: Tirmidhi) n “Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind.” (Muslim & Bukhari) n “Conduct yourself in this world, as if you are here to stay forever; prepare for eternity as if you have to die tomorrow.” (Bukhari) n “The worldly comforts are not for me. I am like a traveller, who takes a rest under a tree in the shade and then goes on his way.” (Tirmidhi) __
