Wisdom From the Shaykh of Shaykhs - Group 2
13.) Shall
I not inform you about a better act than fasting, charity and prayer? --- making peace
between one another. Enmity and malice tear up heavenly rewards by the roots.
14.)
Knowledge is of two kinds: formal knowledge which does not go beyond verbal profession. It
is the evidence of God against those people who profess such knowledge, and according to
it, God will judge them; and, genuine knowledge, which is deep-rooted in the heart ---
this is the knowledge which is most useful.
15.) The
best thing in the Scale on the Day of Judgement will be a beautiful character.
16.) One
performs the best jihad (spiritual struggle) when one stands up and speaks out against
injustice in the face of tyranny and oppression.
17.) I
swear by God that this world in comparison with the world to come is as though one of you
put a finger into the sea ... let that person consider what amount of water is brought out
of the sea, and what remains.
18.) What
bond is there between me and the world? I am like a rider on a summer day who takes
shelter to rest under the shade of a tree, then goes on his way.
19.) The
best of alms is that which the right hand giveth and the left hand knoweth not of.
20.) There
is a polish for everything, which taketh away the rust of that which is polished, and the
polish for the heart is the remembrance (zikr) of God.
One of the
companions said: " Is not repelling the infidel like this?" Muhammad (peace be
upon him) said: " No! Even if one fights until one's sword is broken."
21.)
Prayer is the sacrifice whereby every believer comes closer to Allah.
22.)
Prayer is: service; drawing closer, and joining.
23.)
Accursed is the world and accursed in all that is in world, except the remembrance of God
and that which aideth thereto.
24.) That
person is not a perfect Muslim who eateth one's fill, yet leaveth one's neighbours hungry.
