Control of Self

  • The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self.
  •  The exercise of religious duty will not atone for the fault of an abusive tongue.

  •  A man cannot be a Muslim till his heart and tongue are so.

  •  Whoever hath been given gentleness, hath been given a good portion in this world and the next.

  •  Whoever suppresseth his anger, when he hath in his power to show it, God will give him great reward.

  •  That person is wise and sensible who subdueth his carnal desires and hopeth for rewards from God; and he is an ignorant man who followeth his lustful appetites, and with all this asketh for God's forgiveness.

  •  May God fill the heart of that person who suppresseth his anger with safety and faith.

  •  "Give me advice," said someone. Muhammad said, Be not angry."

  •  Muaz said, "At the time of my being dispatched to the judgeship of Yemen, the last advice Muhammad gave me was this, 'O Muaz! be of good temper towards people.'"

  •  He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger.

  •  No person hath drunk a better draught than that of anger which he hath swallowed for God's sake.
