Compiled by Abu Shazil- If you are wise, incline towards the essential truth, for that remains, while things that are external pass away.
-
He sleeps at peace beneath the ground that made tranquil
the hearts of men.
-
Open the door of your treasure today, for tomorrow the key
will not be in your hands.
-
Drive not the poor man empty from your door, lest you
should wander before the doors of strangers.
-
Follow the path of the righteous, and, if you stand upon
your feet, stretch out your hand to them who are fallen.
-
Be lenient with the slave, for he may one day become a
king, like a pawn that becomes a queen.
-
Beautiful people are not always good but good people are
always beautiful.
-
Pursue not which your body desires, for the pampering of
the body destroys the fires of life.
-
The wise
acquire virtue, and they who pamper their bodies are devoid of merit.
-
He whose
stomach is full is void of wisdom. The prey is entrapped in the snare because
of its greed.
- Eating and sleeping is the creed animals; to adopt it is the manner of fools.
