उसे देखो, जो तुम्हें देखता है। उस से मुहब्बत करो, जो तुम से मुहब्बत करता है। उस की सुनो, जो तुम्हारी सुनता है। अपना हाथ उसे दो, जो थामने के लिए तैयार है।

पहले अपने आप को नसीहत करो, फिर दूसरों को।

चाहे तुम बात करो या ख़ामोश रहो, मगर हमेशा अच्छी नीयत सामने रखो। जो शख़्स किसी भी अमल से पहले अच्छी नीयत नहीं रखता, उस का अमल बातिल है।

दुनिया की दौलत इकट्ठा करने की हवस, इंसानों को जल्दबाज़ी करने पर उकसाने वाली चीज़ है।

कम से कम चालीस दिन के लिए अपने रब के साथ ख़ालिस हो जाओ। तुम्हारे दिल की ज़बान से मअरिफ़त और हिकमत के चश्मे जारी हो जाएँगे।

शुरू करना तेरा काम है और तकमील करना ख़ुदा का काम है।

बुरे साथियों की सोहबत तुम्हें नेक लोगों के बारे में ग़लतफहमी में मुब्तिला कर देगी।

तुम दूसरों की रहनुमाई कैसे कर सकते हो जब तुम ख़ुद अंधे हो? सिर्फ़ बसीरत रखने वाला शख़्स ही दूसरों की रहनुमाई कर सकता है।

ऐ अमल करने वाले! इख़्लास पैदा कर, वर्ना फ़िज़ूल मशक़्क़त है।

पहले अपने आप को नसीहत करो, फिर दूसरों को।

शिकस्ता क़ब्रों में ग़ौर कर, कैसे-कैसे हसीनों की मिट्टी ख़राब हो रही है।

असली सच्चाई ये है कि तुम वहाँ भी सच बोलो, जहाँ झूठ बोले बग़ैर निजात मुमकिन न हो।

ख़ुश रहना चाहते हो, तो दूसरों को ख़ुश रखने की कोशिश करो।

जब लोग फ़सल काट रहे हों, तब बीज और खेती की बातें करना बे-मानी है।

मोटे कपड़े और मोटे खाने से फ़क़ीराना शान नहीं बढ़ती बल्कि ज़ुह्द से बढ़ती है। सच्चा कम्बल पोश सब से पहले बातिन को कमली से ढकता है, फिर वो ज़ाहिर की तरफ़ मुतवज्जेह होता है।

ख़ल्वत में बोलना मर्दानगी नहीं। ख़ल्वत में ख़ामोश रह।

बे-कार आदमी ज़मीन पर बोझ होता है।

हमारी ग़ीबत करने वाले हमारी फ़लाह हैं, कि हम को ख़िराज देते हैं और अपने आमाल-ए-सालेहा हमारे आमालनामे में लिखवा देते हैं।

दूसरों को नसीहत करने से पहले अपने आप को नसीहत करो।

चाहे बोलो या ख़ामोश रहो, मगर अच्छी नीयत रखो। जिस ने किसी अमल से पहली अच्छी नीयत न रखी, उस का अमल बे-कार है।

तक़रीर सिर्फ़ ख़ुदा के लिए कर वर्ना तेरा गुनाहगार रहना ही बेहतर है।

अपने दिल से हर एक को निकाल दो, क्योंकि ये ख़ुदा का घर है।

बे-कार आदमी ज़मीन पर बोझ होता है।

दुनिया नाम के समंदर से बे-ख़ौफ़ ना हो, न जाने कितने लोग इस में डूब गए है।

अगर तुम परहेज़गार, ख़ुदा पर भरोसा करने वाले और मज़बूत ईमान वाला बनना चाहो, तो सब्र को थाम कर रखो, क्योंकि सब्र हर फ़ज़ीलत की बुनियाद है।

तू नफ़्स की तमन्ना पूरी करने में मसरूफ़ है और वो तुझे तबाह करने में मसरूफ़ है।

बहुत से दौलतमंद हिर्स में मुब्तिला होने की वजह से मुफ़्लिस व नंगे हैं। सच्चा बहादुर वो है जो हिर्स के देव को पछाड़ने के बाद दुनिया के माल-ओ-दौलत से बे-नियाज़ हो जाए।

हक़ीक़त में सच ये है कि तुम सच वहीं बोलो, जहाँ से तुम्हें बिना झूठ बोले निजात न मिले।

फ़क़ीर वो है, जिस की दौलत का मालिक ख़ुदा के सिवा कोई नहीं होता।

मौत से पहले याद-ए-ख़ुदा में बेहतरी है। फ़स्ल कटने के बाद हल चलाना और बीज बोना बे-फ़ायदा है।

Abdul Qadir al Jilani one morning was still asleep at the time for the Morning Prayer. A cat came over to his side and nudged him until he awoke. Noticing the lectures of the time, Abdul Qadir quickly made his prayers. When he had finished, he looked at the cat. With his spiritual insight, he saw that the cat was actually a devil. This puzzled the great saint. So saint asked - I can see you are a devil, but why on earth did you wake me for the prayer? The cat answered - because you have discovered me, I might as well tell you. I knew that if you missed your obligatory prayer, you would offer one hundred prayers as compensation, so I woke you up so that you would get only the benefits of the one.
