Pearls of Wisdom:Part 1

Really the word of the Elders enlightens our heart and make inspired us to do something good.ALLAH also know this and this is why he collected so many sayings of other prophet and thus made our Prophet's (Peach Be Upon Him) heart strong.Here i collected some sayings of our respected elders.I think these pearls will help us to be more good,lawful and obedient to ALLAH.The pearls are given in below:

1.When the inward is good the outward is also inevitably so, for the outward always follows the inward, whether for good or evil. [Imam al Haddad]

2. Know that the hearing and sight are two open doors; whatever enters through them reaches the heart. [Imam al Haddad]

3. The sincere person is the one who hides his good deeds just like he hides his evil deeds. [Yaqub al Ma'foof]

4. Do not rely on vain hopes, because vain hopes are the assets of idiots and fools. [Ali radi Allah anhu]

5. If you cannot be of benefit to the people, then do not harm them; if you cannot make them happy, then do not make them sorrowful; if you cannot praise them, then do not disparage them. [Yahya ibn Mu'adh]

6. Wisdom is the name of the trait of remembering experiences and making use of them. The best experience is the one that gives the best warning and advice. [Ali radi Allah anhu]

7. Take advantage of the opportunities before they turn their backs upon you; the worst form of folly is to waste the opportunities of this life and to lose salvation. [Ali radi Allah anhu]

8. Treat with consideration and kindness those over whom you have power and authority. [Ali radi Allah anhu]

9. Keep a complete control over your temper and anger, because I have never found anything more beneficial at the end and more productive of good results than such control. [Ali radi Allah anhu]

10. Be mild, pleasant, and lenient with him who is harsh, gross, and strict with you; gradually he will turn to your way of behavior. [Ali radi Allah anhu]
