"The wise person must not try to talk over other people or interrupt them, because even though speech at the right time may be appreciated and important, silence at the right time is of a higher standard. A person is either a role model or lost and heedless, depending on the tongue. Allah, the Venerable and Almighty, raised the tongue above the other parts of the body, as there is nothing greater than it in reward if it is obedient but nothing worse than it for sin if it is disobedient."

​"Sins weaken imān (faith). When a servant repents, Allah loves him, and through repentance, his status/rank is elevated before Allah."

"The soul is like a wild horse. If you do not break it and lead it, it will break you and lead you into the abyss. Discipline is not the enemy of the heart; it is the fence that keeps the garden safe."
