“The whole world is providence and the best provision of the world is a pious woman.” (Muslim, Kitab alRada, 64; See also: Nasa`i, Nikah, 15; Ibn Maja, Nikah, 5)

Abu Bakr, may Allah be well pleased with him, says: “Goodness to the people protects a person from disaster and misfortune.”

Abu Bakr, may Allah be well pleased with him, states: For me, thankfulness in prosperity is more desirable than patience in trial and tribulation.”

Abu Hurayra (r.a) relates the supplication of Prophet Dawud, upon him be peace: “O Lord, allow me to love You, to love what You love, and grant me the deeds of righteousness that will lead me to Your love.” (See (Tirmidhi, Da’awat, 72)

‘Umar, may Allah be well pleased with him, says: “One who hides their secret, safeguards their own self.  One who does not know evil falls into its trap.”

Each dawn is the turning of a white page from the book of life. Let us think: What are we writing today on that leaf which we will read on the Day of Reckoning?

Mu’adh ibn Jabal’s advice to his son: “Son, think of each prayer as if it were your last. Do not expect that you will reach the time for another such prayer.”

Thankfulness is of two kinds: 1) Acknowledgement of the Divine origin of all bounties and engaging in thankfulness with one’s words. 2) Expressing thankfulness with one’s actions by offering those bounties to those who are deprived of them.

Compassion is the most distinguished jewel of our humanity that enables us to attain spiritual union with Allah.
