Often your utterances and expressions of your face leak out the secrets of your hidden thoughts.
Ali ibn Abi Talib
Image
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
Image

Patience to faith is like the head to the body. The person who has no patience has not faith.
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
