Sayings by Auliya Allah (RehmatullahAlaihim)

The following are words
uttered by various Awliya Allah
including Hazrat Shaikh Sayyid
Abdul Qadir Jilani, Hazrat
Khwaja Ghareeb-un-Nawaaz,
Hazrat Imam Ghazali and Hazrat
Jalaaluddin Rumi (Ridwaanullahi
Ta'ala Alaihim Ajma'een).
1.A true servant is protected
from his ego and the devil, by
his shield of sincerity and purity.
2.Do not use destiny as an
argument to abandon all effort
and all good deeds.
3.Success comes from the
Creator.
4.To forgive is the greatest sign
of the believer.
5.Less food leads to less sin, less
lethargy, better health and more
Allah consciousness.
6.This world is the field of the
hereafter. He who does not
plant here will not reap there.
7.Charity has a cleansing effect
both spiritually and materially.
8.Inner purity is lost by bad
character, harmful acts, pride,
arrogance, lying, gossip,
slandering, envy and anger.
9.Whosoever wishes to sit with
Allah Ta'ala, let him sit with the
saintly ones.
10.In no state should you be
void of the remembrance of
Allah Ta'ala. Remembrance of
Allah Ta'ala is strength. If you
are mindful of Allah Ta'ala, little
by little your interior will be
illuminated and you will attain
release from the world.
11.The body that has defect in
its spirit will never become
sweet, even if you smear it with
honey.
12.Conceal your good deeds as
you conceal your bad deeds.
13.Even the angels in the
heaven pray for him who,
having performed his fajr
salaah, remains sitting there
engaged in the meditation of
Allah.
14.No virtue is greater than
piety and silence, no enemy
greater than ignorance and no
sickness greater than lies.
15.Renounce the world and you
will find the way of Allah paved
for you.
16.Treatment for solving grief
and misfortune is concealing it
by patience.
17.Moderation is most
meritorious in affluence and
pardon most praiseworthy in
power.
18.Sleep with the remembrance
of death and rise with the
thought that you will not live
long.
19.As long as you do not see
your virtues, you are virtuous; if
you see your merits, you have
no merits.
20.If Allah Ta'ala gives his
blessing to a dinar (silver coin)
it will do more than what a
thousand dinars will do without
His blessings.
21.There is no peace of mind in
the pursuits of this world. The
heart finds peace through Allah
Ta'ala.
22.There is nothing sweeter
than the awareness of Allah
Ta'ala.
23.To employ Allah Ta'ala's gifts
in order to sin against Him is
the height of ingratitude.
24.A prayer with clean teeth is
better than seventy prayers
without clean teeth.
25.Time is a sword that cuts
through mans life. None knows
if he will see tomorrow. Thus,
do today what is needed to be
done today.
26.The closest ones to Allah
Ta'ala are those who have the
ability to avenge, yet they show
mercy and kindness.
27.One who is not prepared to
correct and rectify himself will
not be able to rectify others.
28.The most difficult task is to
correct ones self and the easiest
thing is to find the fault of
others.
29.Be grateful to Allah Ta'ala for
all which He has bestowed
upon you. Ungratefulness is a
sign of weakness in faith.
30.One who is not grateful to
the people for that which they
do for him, is not grateful to
Allah Ta'ala.
31.Always keep the tongue in
control. Do not speak
unnecessarily. One who talks
too much is usually a liar.
32.To show love and respect for
the orphans and widows is a
means of gaining blessings and
to oppress them is a means of
ones destruction.
33.The sign of a good man is
one who is kind towards those,
who accept assistance from
him, in their times of need.
34.The sign of a cruel man is
one who shows even more
cruelty when he is requested
for assistance by someone in
their time of need.
35.Illness comes towards you
with great speed and leaves
very slowly.
36.Never hurt the feelings of
someone. The cry of a sad heart
can become the means of your
destruction.
37.Always recognise your
friends from your enemies, for
one who does not know his
friends from his enemies, is
himself not worthy of trust.
38.Sit in the companionship of
the pious for it leads to piety.
Sitting in the companionship of
the sinful, leads one towards
sin.
39.You will live the life of a king
if you are able to become a
beggar (humble yourself) at the
Exalted Court of your Creator.
May Almighty Allah grant us
the taufeeq and hidayat to act
upon these beautiful words,
Ameen.
