مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
Whoever relieves a believer of a hardship in this world, Allah will relieve him of a hardship on the Day of Resurrection. Allah helps His servant as long as the servant helps his brother.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ
Allah does not look at your appearance or your wealth, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds.
الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ
Purity is half of faith. Alhamdulillah fills the scales, and SubhanAllah and Alhamdulillah fill what is between the heavens and the earth.
مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ
Charity does not decrease wealth. No one forgives another except that Allah increases him in honour. And no one humbles himself for Allah except that Allah raises him.
مَثَلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ مَثَلُ الْجَسَدِ
The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion and sympathy are like one body: when one limb suffers, the whole body responds with wakefulness and fever.
احْرِصْ عَلَى مَا يَنْفَعُكَ وَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَلاَ تَعْجَزْ
The strong believer is better and more beloved to Allah than the weak believer, though there is good in both. Strive for what benefits you, seek help from Allah, and do not give up.
يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي
Allah said: My servants, I have forbidden injustice for Myself and forbidden it among you, so do not wrong one another.
