More quotes by Ali ibn Abi Talib
Hate no one, no matter how much they've wronged you. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become. Think positively, no matter how hard life is. Give much, even if you've been given little. Keep in touch with the ones who have forgotten you, and forgive who has wronged you, and do not stop praying for the best for those you love.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib

Fear the sins that you commit in secret, because the Witness of those sins is the Judge Himself!
Ali ibn Abi Talib
A girl is a good deed and a boy is a bounty. Good deeds are rewarded while people are held accountable for bounties.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
The best form of devotion to the service of Allah is not to make a show of it.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
I was not created to be occupied by eating delicious foods like tied up cattle.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Blessed is he whose own faults keep him from seeing the faults of others.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib
He who is greedy is disgraced he who discloses his hardship will always be humiliated he who has no control over his tongue will often have to face discomfort.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
There are so many highly esteemed ones who became miserable and humiliated just because of their bad temper and morals and humble people who have attained eminence and the highest honors because of good temper and morals.
