"Nahjul Balagha is the name of the book which is the translation of the sermons, letters, orders and some of the sayings of Hazrat Ali (A.S) as compiled by Syed Razi."
- Treat people in such a way and live amongst them in such a manner that if you die they weep over you and if you are alive they crave for your company.
- Man is the wonderful creature, he sees through layers of fat (fatty tissue), he hears through a bone, he speaks through a lump of flesh (tongue).
- The best form of devotion to the service of God is not to make a show of it.
- If I cut a faithful Muslim into pieces to make him hate me, he will not turn into my enemy and if I give all the wealth of this world to a hypocritical Muslim to make him my friend he will not befriend me.It is thus because the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) has said "O Ali! no faithful Muslim will ever be your enemy and no hypocritical Muslim will ever be your friend".
- The proper way to treat a blessing is to avoid whatever might destroy it.
- It is wiser to abstain than to repent.
