Counsels of Amir ul Muminin Hadrat ‘Ali (KarramAllahu Wajhul Karim)

۞

Associate with people in such a manner that they weep for you when you die and long for you if you are alive.

۞

One who cautions you is as one who brings you good news.

۞

Each breath one takes is a step toward one’s destiny.

۞

Everything quantifiable runs out, everything anticipated is yet to come.

۞

One who is moderate does not go wrong.

۞

You have been shown, if you see;
and you have been guided, if you have found the way;
and you have been made to hear, if you listen.

۞

People oppose what they are ignorant about.

۞

Poverty is indeed a trial, but sickness is worse then poverty.
And worse then sickness of the body is sickness of the heart.
Wealth is indeed a blessing, but physical health is better then wealth.
And even better then physical health is soundness of heart.

۞

Remember that enjoyments pass while consequences remain.

۞

Sleep in a state of certainty is better then prayer in a state of doubt.

۞

Asked about destiny, Hadrat ‘Ali said
“it is a dark path; do not enter it.
It is a deep sea; do not plunge into it.
It is a secret of God; do not burden yourself with it”.

۞

In the Qur’an is report of the past, information on the future, and wisdom for the meanwhile.

۞

Complacency hinders growth.
