“How strange is man that when he is afraid of something he runs away from it, but when he is afraid of Allah, he gets closer to Him.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“You were ordered to obey to Allah, and you were create to perform good deeds.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“Develop in your heart the feeling of love for your people and let it be the source of kindliness and blessing to them. Do not behave with them like a barbarian, and do not appropriate to yourself that which belongs to them. Remember that the citizens of the state are of two categories. They are either your brethren in religion or your brethren in kind. They are subject to infirmities and liable to commit mistakes.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“Beware! Abstain from shedding blood without a valid cause. There is nothing more harmful than this which brings about one’s ruin. The blood that is willfully shed shortens the life of a state. On the Day of Judgement it is this crime for which one will have to answer first. So, beware! Do not wish to build the strength of your state on blood for, it is this blood which ultimately weakens the state and passes it into other hands. Before me and my God no excuse for willful killing can be entertained.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“Surely silence can sometimes be the most eloquent reply.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“Honesty will guide you to goodness, and goodness will invite you to heaven.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“Tears only dry up as a result of hardness of the heart, and the hearts only harden as a result of frequent sinning.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“Nothing hurts a good soul and a kind heart more than to live amongst people who cannot understand it.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“Our followers are like bees which live among birds. None of the birds recognize the bees because of their small size and weakness. They would not treat them this way if they realized that these very small bees can carry honey which is very valuable in their stomachs.”
Hazrat Ali Ibn Abu-Talib A.S“It’s never the value of water but thirst, it’s never the value of life but death and it’s never about the friendship but trust.”
