Islamic Wisdom

O God! You know that everything we did was not prompted by rivalry for political power, nor for such a search for wealth and abundance; rather it was done to demonstrate to men the shining principles and values of Your religion, to reform the affairs of Your land, to protect and secure the indisputable rights of Your oppressed servants, and to act in accordance with the duties You have established and the norms, laws, and ordinances You have decreed. God suffices us - upon Him do we rely, to Him do we turn, and to Him shall we return. -Imam Hussain (A.S.)

Wealth properly employed is a blessing; and a man may lawfully endeavour to increase it by honest means -Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

He is not strong and powerful, who throws people down, but he is strong who withholds himself from anger -Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

Thus doth Allah Make clear His Signs to you: In order that ye may understand (2:242)

Be aware of a noble person when he is hungry, and of an ignoble person when his stomach is full. -Imam Ali (a.s.)
