The sayings of Hakim Luqman
Assalam olaikum,
As Allah (swt) had granted Hakim Luqman with wisdom. Not surprisingly, his sayings are like pearls of wisdom and quite though-provoking. Here are some of them to ponder:
To keep silent is wisdom. I have regretted to talk but I have never regretted to have kept quiet.
There are 3 kinds of brother. First, those who take advantage of your kindness but never reward you. Second, those who lend you a helping hand only as mushy as would be profitable to him. Third, those who like to be with you without any greed.
He is a liar who says that evil with evil. If he was truthful then tell him to ignite two fires and see if one of them can put out the other. The righteous deeds can extinguish evil as water extinguishes fire.
Remember two matters, i.e. Allah (swt) and death. Forget two matters, i.e. the virtues that you have done so far in life and the evil done to you by others.
The envious people have 3 characteristics: They speak slanderously about people behind their backs, in front of people they flatter them and derive sadistic pleasure when they see others in peril.
