"Piety is that Allah does not miss you in the place where He has commanded you to be, and does not see (find) you where He has forbidden you from."
“The believer should live between two fears the past sin that he does not know what Allah will do about it and the remaining days that he does not know what misfortunes he will encounter during them.

“Whoever has not made any improvements in one day has lost.”
“Say each of your prayers as if it were your last prayer.”
“He who travels in the search of knowledge, to him God shows the way of Paradise.”
“Keep yourselves far from envy, because it eats up and takes away good actions, like the fire that eats up and burns wood.”
“Deal gently with a people, and be not harsh; cheer them and condemn not.”
