Words of Wisdom

I looked at the world; everyone is in love with something but will leave it in this world and migrate to the grave. 

I decided that I should love good deeds and righteousness so that they accompany me to the grave and do not leave me alone.

 

I read in the Quran that whoever fears his Lord and keeps himself from the temptations of the ego, indeed Paradise is his abode. 

Therefore, I controlled the desires of my ego.

 

I saw that if people had something precious they care for it very much. 

And then I pondered over the verse [of Quran] that whatever you have will perish and what is with God will continue to exist. 

Consequently, I surrendered [hawaalay] my every valuable thing to God so that it lasts for me and is of use to me.


Imam Ghazali [may Allah be pleased with him]
