We see good in everything. Joy and happiness is the characteristic of a Muslim. A weak, weeping mindset would be unbecoming for a Muslim.

Knowledge is in the Sight of Allah. We cannot know anything other than what Allah teaches us. Consequently Allah is the One Who knows everything, we are always ignorant. Allah is the One Who possesses everything, we are always in need.

People are in need. Allah is Great, He is infinitely Great. The Name of Allah is a Name that would shake the whole endless universe. It is an Exalted Name.

A Muslim would not adopt an attitude towards a Muslim with the manners of an Emperor. A Muslim should be aware of his/her weakness and his/ her destitution. He/ She should say that he/she is a pitiable servant of Allah. Otherwise there will be a corruption, an upon them.

A human being is a very fragile being. Allah says in the Qur’an, “Man is created weak.” Whether a man or a woman, they are all weak. They are easily negatively affected. They may get exhausted easily, feel exhausted and get sick easily. As a requisite of the trial in this world, they are created in that manner. That is because Allah does not want us to love this world.

God has done everything to prevent people's love for the world. However they are insanely devoted to this world despite of all their weaknesses. While they are struggling with their weaknesses on one side, they are insanely running after the world.

Getting spoiled, running riot and showing off is one within the other. They are showing off and putting on an act for wretched people. You are a wretched being and so are those you put on a show for. You will all die one day, so pull yourself together. At the end of the day, you are made up of flesh and bones. What if you put on a dress? What if you have a state -of -the -art computer? What if you have a nice phone? You will die because you are made up of flesh and bone; they will bury you in your grave and your body will decompose. Why do you get spoiled and run riot then? Why do you show off?

Sleep is the weakness of this world. Every day after a certain hour one feels sleepy. They go and lay down to die and arise from death hours later. They bathe, they eat, again they feel sleepy at night. The time to die comes and they go die again. In the morning they arise from the dead again. Dying and arising from the dead, dying and arising from the dead, one's whole life goes on like this. In the end, they die for real and then arise from the dead in another world.

Clean and purify yourself. Muslims are clean, immaculate, pure people. What does pure mean? It means purified. God gives people weaknesses and we are to get rid of those impurities and weaknesses, and attain the beauty of Heaven. A Muslim would be radiant and immaculately clean.

God has absolute power and we are His humble servants in need. All power belongs to Almighty God and whatever Almighty God ordains in destiny, it happens. We are His servants in complete submission to Him and everything we do is done with the power God has given us.

Even the prettiest, the most beautiful person will decay under the ground [when they are dead]. Life is very short: We thank God for what He gave to us but it would be wrong to get attached to this body. Think about a very beautiful lady: Open her grave years later and you will see only a skeleton; a skull, arms and legs. Or think about all those heroes, the lions of the past: Even their bones are gone now.

Muslims do not get offended with each other. The heart of a Muslim is always together with God. The world is a short, temporary course, a place of education; this is no place to make a name for oneself, to claim to be superior, to claim to be intelligent and so forth. When observed from outer space, the world looks like a speck of dust. Go further and you cannot even see it anymore. Mankind is only a particle within the speck of dust. A pitiful creature indeed. So from where comes this arrogance? We will soon be dead and gone.

Believers should always be cheerful. Humans are created weak and such a being cannot afford to feel grief; that would destroy him.

Those movies containing violence cause spiritual destruction. They also put a strain on the nerves. Since humans are weak, frail creatures, it causes a great deal of stress on them. It causes stress even as people watch that movie. It leads to sickness. People should stay away from such movies.

Some try to use diseases and death as an argument for the non-existence of God. People with weak intelligence fall into this trap God creates evidence that only intelligent people can notice but those with weak intelligence fall into His trap.

Man is created as very weak. One can die in an instant because of a flu or a sudden decrease in blood pressure.

Humans are created very weak. They can easily die, even due to a simple flu.

God creates hardships, illnesses and weaknesses to make people reflect deeply and love Him.

God purposefully created the world with so many shortcomings and negativities so that man can be tested. As a part of this test, man has constant needs and has to fight countless ailments. Yet, God also created cures and medications.

Fasting in Ramadan helps people realize their weakness, calms excessive feelings inside and helps thinking about God deeply as a lenient person.

It’s a miracle that people can feel arrogant when they are in fact created so weak, with so many needs. This is a part of the trial of the life of this world.

Arrogance is a type of mental illness. Those who are unable to realize their own weaknesses and still act arrogantly cannot be considered as reasonable beings.

Cemeteries, hospitals and places that represent weaknesses and the difficulties of this world are like religious schools that can help people avoid being consumed by the life of this world.

Human body is created weak and open to many diseases. This is part of the trial in this world.

In Heaven, we will not have any worldly weaknesses and we will have the things we long for. This will make us happy each and every day.
