Whoever seeks the eternal life should abandon the luxurious...

Whoever seeks the eternal life should abandon the luxurious beauties of worldly life and thereby, he will be the one duly modest towards God. ● تَسَحَّرُوْا فَاِنَّ في السُّحُوْرِ بَرَكَةً. Be early rising, for in it there is blessing. ● يَسِّرُوْا وَلا تُعَسِّرُوْا. Be easy- going and do not be hard (on people). ● أُتْرُكْ فُضُولَ الْكَلامِ؛ وَحَسْبُكَ مِنَ الْكَلامِ مَا تَبْلُغُ بِهِ حَاجَتَكَ. Be economical in speaking, for the word which settles your need suffices you (indeed).

● أَعْطِ وَلا تُوكِى‏ءْ فَيُوكَأُ عَلَيْكَ. Be generous (to people) and put them not in straits, for you will be put in straits (in the Hereafter). عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. ● أُغْدُوا فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ فَاِنَّ الْغُدُوَّ بَرَكَةٌ وَنَجَاحٌ. Be an early bird in seeking knowledge, for early- rising brings you blessing and prosperity. ● أُغْدُ عَالِمَاً أَوْ مُتَعَلِّمَاً أَوْ مُسْتَمِعَاً أَوْ مُحِبَّاً؛ وَلا تَكُنِ الْخامِسَةَ فَتَهْلِكَ.

Be an scholar or a student, a listener or a lover of lore, and be not the fifth (of these four), for you’ll perish. ● اِتَّقُوا فَرَاسَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ؛ فَاِنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. Be careful about a believer’s wit, for he looks (at things) through the light of God, the Most High! ● تَنَظَّفُوْا بِكُلِّ ما اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَاِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالى بَنَى الاِسْلامَ عَلَى النَّظَافَةِ؛ وَلَنْ يَدْخُلَ الجَنَّةَ اِلاّ كُلُّ نَظِيْفٍ.

Be clean to the extent possible, for the Exalted God has founded Islam on cleanliness, and nobody enters Paradise save the clean. ● اِسْتَحْيُوا مِنَ اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْحَيَاءِ؛ مَنِ اسْتَحْيَى مِنَ اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْحَيَاءِ فَلْيَحْفَظِ الرَّأْسَ وَمَا وَعَى وَلْيَحْفَظِ الْبَطْنَ وَمَا حَوَى؛ وَلْيَذْكُرِ الْمَوْتَ وَالْبَلاءَ، وَمَنْ أَرَادَ الآخِرَةَ تَرَكَ زينَةَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيا؛ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذلِكَ فَقَدِ اسْتَحْيا مِنَ اللَّهِ حَقَّ الْحَياءِ.

Be duly modest towards God, for he who does so, should control his head and mind as well as his belly and privy parts (against the unlawful), and remember (his) death and trial. Whoever seeks the eternal life should abandon the luxurious beauties of worldly life and thereby, he will be the one duly modest towards God. ● تَسَحَّرُوْا فَاِنَّ في السُّحُوْرِ بَرَكَةً. Be early rising, for in it there is blessing. ● يَسِّرُوْا وَلا تُعَسِّرُوْا. Be easy- going and do not be hard (on people).

● أُتْرُكْ فُضُولَ الْكَلامِ؛ وَحَسْبُكَ مِنَ الْكَلامِ مَا تَبْلُغُ بِهِ حَاجَتَكَ. Be economical in speaking, for the word which settles your need suffices you (indeed).
