ISLAMIC GOLDEN WORDS

Golden words of Beloved Prophet ﷺ

*********************************

All children of Adam are sinners, but the best among the sinners are those who constantly repent. 

If someone wants to know what position he enjoys in the eyes of God, he has only to look at what place he gives to God (in his heart and life).  

​​

• Three characteristics are the signs of a hypocrite, even if he fasts, performs the Prayers and claims that he is a Muslim: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is trusted, he betrays his trust.  

 Do not be little even the smallest act of kindness, even if it were no more than meeting your brother with a smiling and cheerful face.

Golden words of Hazrat Umar Farooq Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu

****************************************************

• To eat less is healthy, to speak less is wisdom, and to sleep less is worship.

• To speak less is wisdom, to eat less is healthy and to mingle less with the people is safe and serene.

• The one who steps back will not progress.

• Nothing is worst that avarice that destroys the mind, not even Alcohol.

• It is unbecoming of that person who sits with his hands folded and prays to ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala for sustenance. ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala does not rain down gold and silver from the heavens.

• To earn a suspicious living is worse than begging.

• The biggest gift after Iman (Faith) is your wives.

• Attain knowledge before old age settles in.

• Extravagance is also when a person eats whatever he wishes.

• Whosoever hides his secret keeps his safety, safeguarded with himself.

• The person who calls himself learned, indeed he is ignorant, and the one who calls himself from the dwellers of Paradise surely he is from the dwellers of Hell.

• Tawbatun-NasooHa (Accepted forgiveness) is the name of that forgiveness that is asked for a bad deed committed, in such a manner that he never returns to or commits that bad deed again.

• The Strength in action is, never to put of what you can do today for tomorrow.

• It is not becoming of a Muslim to sit down and start praying for sustenance without attempting to earn it, he is well aware that gold and silver does not rain from the skies.

• If it wasn’t for the claim of knowledge of the unknown then I would say five people are from the dwellers of Paradise:

1. That family man who is poverty stricken but is patient

2. That women with whom her husband is happy and accepting.

3. That woman who forgives he husband’s duty of Mehr (Dowry approved by Muslim law)

4. That person with whom his parents are Happy

5. And that person who honestly repents from his sins

• Once a sheep was slaughtered and Syeduna ‘Umar al-Farooq Radi ALLAHu Ta’ala Anho persistently asked his servant if he had first sent meat to his neighbor who was a Jew. The slave asked why you are asking the same question persistently. He answered that ALLAH SubHanuhu wa Ta’ala and his Rasūl Sallallaho Alaihi wa Sallam had constantly stressed the importance of neighbors therefore I too am persistent in stressing the same.

• Three things build love:

1. To make Salam (greeting)

2. To make space for a person in a gathering

3. To address a person in a respectable and good manner

Golden words of Imam Jafar as-Sadiq Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu

***************************************************

♦ There is not provision greater than piety. There is nothing better than silence, and there is no enemy more dangerous than ones ignorance and there is no disease worse than lies.

♦ He who has attained the closeness to Allah divorces himself from everything in the world.

♦ There is no Ibaadat without repentance, since Allah has caused repentance to be above Ibaadat.

♦ He who sits in the companionship of all types of people will not be safe.

♦ One who walks on the wrong path will always arouse suspicion.

♦ Whoever attacks a matter without knowledge cuts off his own nose.

♦ Intellect is the guide of the believer.

♦ The perfection of intellect is in three (things): Humbleness for Allah, Good certainty, and silence except for good.

♦ Ignorance is in three (things): Arrogance, the intensity of dispute, and the ignorance about Allah.

♦ Certainly, knowledge is a lock and its key is the question.

♦ When the believer becomes angry, his anger should not take him out of the truth; and when he becomes satisfied, his satisfaction should not bring him into falsehood.

♦ Some manners of the ignorant are: the answer before he hears, the opposition before he understands, and the judgment with what he does not know.

♦ One who cannot keep his tongue in control will always be disgraced.

Golden words of Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani Radi Allahu Ta'ala Anhu

********************************************************

• Though I be in the west and my disciple in the East, if a world goes to attack him, I know. I will save him.

• Look towards that person who looks towards you. Love that person that loves you, listen to that person that listens to you and give your hands in his hands that are prepared to grasp it.

• A mans position in life is such that though he is mortal he is reborn with pleasure in the winds of afflictions. It is that very same life whose consequence is not death. It is that very same comfort which has no extreme anguish.

• That person who has enmity against a well to do companion, he totally rejects the wisdom and foresight of the sustainers.

• Many wealthy people because of greed are poor and needy, in reality the brave person is he who wrestles and defeats the devil of greed and thereafter becomes independent and without want of need from this material World.

• The person who backbites and speaks ill of us are actually our success because they pay homage to us by writing their good deeds into our deed books.

• Look carefully at the previous graves lying in ruin. How the sands of beautiful people are turning bad.

• If you do not find the sweetness of doing a good deed then be aware that you have not done that deed.

• Disrespect earns the displeasure of the creator and the creation.

• To please the enemies of Allah SubHanuhu wa Ta'ala is beyond comprehension and wisdom.

• O! Gifts do not imprison me so that I become unmindful to the benefactor.

• O! Doers of good deeds giving birth to sincerity in your deeds can never be a wasted effort.
