Pearl of Wisdom
'Whoever clings onto Allah being wary of his duty to Him, Allah will protect him, and whoever Allah comes to protect should not worry even if the sky was to fall onto the earth, or if a calamity was to descend onto the earth and tribulation was to encompass everyone, he will be in the protection of Allah from every tribulation as a result of his Godwariness. Does Allah Almighty not say: Indeed the Godwary will be in a secure place.?

Letter 76 When Imam Ali (a) sent Ibn Abbas as his representative to Basra, he gave him the following instructions.
Treat people kindly, receive them in audience, do not be very harsh in issuing and enforcing orders, do not lose temper because this weakness is always a good opening for Satan to find its way into your mind. Always keep this in mind that the thing which takes you nearer to Allah will carry you away from Hell and the thing which drives you away from Allah will drive you towards Hell.
