  • He, who deceives men in the name of religion, jeopardizes his prospects in the Hereafter, For success in the world to come is through religion, and there is not deceit, in religion. If there is deceit, then it is no religion.
  • He who is trying to reform himself with an eye to public praise and esteem, will not be reformed. He who wants to get his virtues cashed in the world cannot be good. That “saint” who wants to over-awe the world because of his prayers is, in fact, a hypocrite.
  • Without our belief in the true bearer of tidings, the Holy Prophet (SAW), we cannot affirm the Tawheed (Oneness of Allah).
  • The Quintessence of man is truth and truth cannot always compromise. If you keep silent when your should speak the truth, you will be deprived of truth. That man can never be truthful who speaks ambiguity when he should have spoken the truth.
  • The wise man reforms the unwise, the scholar instructs the unlettered, and the physician treats the ailing. What good can a doctor do if he has no compassion for his patient? Similarly what help can a reformer be, if he hates sinners? Every quality tends to influence what goes counter to it, but through love, not through hate.
  • If the price of saving your life be life itself, accept it.
