Pearl of Wisdom
'Verily Godwariness is the remedy for the sickness of your hearts, and the sight for the blindness of your hearts, and the cure for the sickness of your bodies, and the correction of the corruption of your chests, and the purification for the pollution of your selves, and the unveiling of the blurriness of your eyes.'
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 198

Sermon 214 A prayer which Amir al-mu'minin often recited
Praise be to Allah! Who made me such that I have not died nor am I sick, nor have my veins been infected with disease, nor have I been hauled up for my evil acts, nor am I without progeny, nor have I forsaken my religion, nor do I disbelieve in my Lord, nor do I feel strangeness with my faith, nor is my intelligence affected, nor have I been punished with the punishment of peoples before me. I am a slave in Thy possession, I have been guilty of excesses over myself. Thou hast exhausted Thy pleas over me and I have no plea (before Thee). I have no power to take except what Thou givest me, and I cannot evade except what Thou savest me from. O' my Allah! I seek Thy protection from becoming destitute despite Thy riches, from being misguided despite Thy guidance, from being molested in Thy realm and from being humiliated while authority rests with Thee. O' my Allah! let my spirit be the first of those good objects that Thou takest from me and the first trust out of Thy favours held in trust with me. O' my Allah! we seek Thy protection from turning away from Thy command or revolting against Thy religion, or being led away by our desires instead of by guidance that comes from Thee.
