Save the Almighty God...

Save the Almighty God, a believer does not have anything better than an abstinent wife who obeys his orders, makes him cheerful when he casts a look at her, observes his oath whenever he swears, and keeps his wealth and her own modesty intact in his absence. ● قُوْا بِأَمْوالِكُمْ عَنْ أعْرَاضِكُمْ. Save your face by your wealth. ● اِتُّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ؛ فَاِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوا فَبِكَلِمَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ.

Save yourself from Fire, even through half a date; or by good words, if lacking the former. ● قُوْلُوْا خَيْرَاً تَغْنَمُوا وَاسْكُتُوْا عَنْ شَرٍّ تَسْلَمُوْا. Say a good (word) to derive benefit, and avoid speaking evil words to be safe. ● قُلْ أللَّهُمَّ اِنِّي أسْأَلُكَ نَفْسَاً مُطْمَئِنَّةً تُؤْمِنُ بِلِقَائِكَ، وَتَرْضَى بِقَضَائِكَ، وَتَقْنَعُ بِعَطَائِكَ. Say: O God!

I beg You to bestow upon me a confident heart, believing in Your visit (in the Last Day (, pleased with Your predestination and content with Your blessings. ● قُلِ أللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ سَريرَتِي خَيْرَاً مِنْ عَلانِيَتِي، وَاجْعَلْ عَلانِيَتِي صَالِحَةً. أللَّهُمَّ اِنِّي أسْأَلُكَ مِنْ صَالِحِ مَا تُؤْتِي النَّاسَ مِنَ المَالِ وَالأهْلِ وَالوَلَدِ غَيْرِ الضَّالِّ وَلا المُضِلِّ. Say: O God! make my inner self better than my outer self, and rectify the latter. O God!

I beg You to give me the good you have bestowed upon people, of wealth, family and children that are neither deviated nor deviating. ● صَلاةُ بِسِواكٍ أفْضَلُ مِنْ سَبْعِيْنَ صَلاةً بِغَيْرِ سِواكٍ. Saying prayer with one's teeth brushed weighs over seventy prayers said with unbrushed teeth. ● العلماءُ أمَنَاءُ اللَّهِ عَلى خَلْقِهِ. Scholars are God's trustees for people. ● العَالِمُ أَمِينُ اللَّهِ في الأرْضِ. Scholars are God's trustees on earth. ● البَذاءُ شُؤْمُ؛ وَسُوْءُ المَلَكَةِ لُؤْمٌ.

Scurrility incites enmity, and malice brings meanness. ● أُطْلُبُوا الْعِلْمَ وَلَوْ بِالصِّينِ؛ فَاِنَّ طَلَبَ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ، اِنَّ الْمَلآئِكَةَ تَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَها لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ رِضَاً بِمَا يَطْلُبُ. Search for knowledge even (if it is to be acquired) in China, for seeking knowledge is a precept for all Muslims, and angels spread their wings for the seekers of knowledge (to sit on) and derive pleasure from what they search for.

● أُطْلُبُوا العِلْمَ مِنَ الْمَهْدِ اِلَى اللَّحْدِ. Search for lore from the birth shore to the grave door. ● حَصِّنُوْا أمْوالَكُمْ بِالزَّكاةِ، وَداوُوا مَرْضاكُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ، وَأعِدُّوْا لِلْبَلاءِ الدُّعَاءَ.
