Image
The disease of the heart is worse than the disease of the body.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Allah, the Exalted, gave the angels intellect without desires, He gave the animals desires without intellect, and He gave both to the sons of Adam. So a man whose intellect prevails over his desires is better than the angels, whilst a man whose desire prevails over his intellect is worse than the animals.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Body is purified by water. Ego by tears. Intellect is purified by knowledge. And soul is purified with love.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Fear the sins that you commit in secret, because the Witness of those sins is the Judge Himself!
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Either you are just or unjust. If you are just, then you will not keep aloof from the people, but will listen to them and meet their requirements. But if you are unjust, the people themselves will keep away from you.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Awaken your heart to kindness and mercy for the people and love and tenderness for them. Never, never act with them like a predatory beast which seeks to be satiated by devouring them, for the people fall into two categories: they are either your brethren in faith or your kindred in creation.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
One who is mild rather than forceful has greater capacity for outreach.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Understanding the knowledge and wisdom of the Qur'an is by far, higher than memorizing.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Do not raise your children the way your parents raised you they were born for a different time.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

Hide the good you do, and make known the good done to you.
Ali ibn Abi Talib

To fight against one's desires is the greatest of all fights.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Do for this life as if you live forever, do for the afterlife as if you will die tomorrow.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
A wise man first thinks and then speaks and a fool speaks first and then thinks.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Wealth tends to create enemies, whereas knowledge tends to warm hearts.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
Lead such a life, that, when you die, the people may mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
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.
