Arguing• Arguing is a harsh way
of dealing with differences. You will hardly ever find it mentioned in the Qur`an or Sunnah except that it is either censured, or qualified by the phrase, "except in the best way".

Loudness
• Your loud voice is not proof of the depth of your knowledge, for an empty utensil makes more noise than a full one.

The nafs(self)• The nafs [self] is oft-reproaching, quick
to change positions. In it, sometimes, will shine the light of certainty, so brilliantly that it is amazed at those who swerve off from the straight path; how did they relish disobedience and misguidance? Then it relapses, its light is dimmed, and it is overcome by the cursed Satan with his cavalry and infantry. He makes the pleasures of this world's life attractive, and seduces the nafs until it is amazed by those following the guidance and abstaining from the disobediences: how did they abstain and have patience? Man will be for whatever prevails over him, and the one protected from sin is the one protected by Allah.

Justice• When you notice in a
person some manifest act of obedience to Allah, and some secret act of disobedience, you might regard the act of obedience as showing off or hypocrisy, and the disobedience as the genuine trait of that person. Justice demands from you otherwise.

You have faults too
• You will rarely find a person who weighs the faults of others
without pushing down one side of the
scales with his thumb.

Winning hearts
•Winning over hearts is more important than
winning over stances (i.e. positions).

Find the truth yourself
• Do not look through the eyes of others.

Take care of the “ heart”
• Most people ask about physical actions, so what about the actions of the
heart?

Only for your sake...
• I was harsh on you, but for your sake.

Be conscious of Allah• Some people are
impeded by the hurdle of
consciousness of Allah from being
conscious of Allah.

Are you the only one who is correct?
• All are stricken and you are safe?
• All got it wrong and you got it right?
All are blameworthy, and you have excuses?

Don’t get confused•We often mix between what is for Allah's
sake and what is for our own
sake.
