WORDS OF WISDOMS OF HADHRAT ABŪ BAKR AL-SIDDĪQ (ra)
- We used to keep away from seventy doors of the lawful (Halāl) out of fear that we might fall into one door of the unlawful (Harām)
- There is no good in a statement in which the pleasure of Allāh Ta’ālā is not sought
- There is no good in that wealth which is not spent for the pleasure of Allāh Ta’ālā
- There is no good in a person whose forbearance is overpowered by his ignorance
- There is no good in a person who fears the criticism of critics in matters regarding Allāh Ta’ālā
- There is no goodness in any good if it leads to the fire of Jahannum
- O Servants of Allāh Ta’ālā! Ponder over the people of the past – Where were they yesterday and where are they today? Where are the kings who ruled the world? They have been forgotten and their thoughts also have been forgotten. They are as if they never existed. They are in the darkness of their graves.
- No one should look down on any Muslim. Surely, the most insignificant of Muslims is great in the sight of Allāh Ta’ālā
- Fear Allāh Ta’ālā by obeying Him and obey Allāh Ta’ālā by fearing Him
- Ensure your hands abstain from the blood of Muslims, your stomach abstains from their wealth and your tongue abstains from their honour and dignity
- We found honour in Taqwā (piety and fear of Allāh Ta’ālā ), wealth in conviction ( utmost belief that sustenance is destined) and dignity in humility
- Your Islām is for your hereafter and your Dirham is for your livelihood and there is no good in a man without a dirham.
- The one who is able to cry ( before Allāh Ta’ālā ) should do so and the one who is unable to cry should adopt the expression of a crying person
- Be merciful and soft-hearted towards the believers and Allāh Ta’ālā will protect you from the fire of Jahannum on the day of Qiyāmah
