Surely God observes your actions.” (2:237) “(Allah) has revealed to me that you should adopt humility so that no one oppresses another.” (Riyadh al-Salihin) “It is We who sent down this Reminder (al-Quran) and it is We who shall preserve it.” (15:9) “The best among you are those who learn the Quran and teach it (to others).” (al-Bukhari) “So remember Me; I will remember you. And be grateful to Me and do not deny Me.” (2:152) “There are two blessings that many people lose -- health and free time for doing good.” (al-Bukhari) “Say: 'O My servants who have transgressed against your own souls, do not despair of God's mercy, for God forgives all sins. It is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful.'“(39:53) “Happy is the man who avoids dissension, but how fine is the man who is afflicted and shows endurance.” (Abu Dawud) “And you love wealth with immense love.” (89:20) “Being rich does not mean having a great amount of property, but (it) is being content (with what one has).” (al-Bukhari) “Every soul is held in pledge for its deeds.” (74:38) “Make things easy and convenient and don't make them harsh and difficult. Give cheer and glad tidings and do not create hatred.” (al-Bukhari & Muslim)
