Hazrat Ali Quotes

I am going to suggest something that many people will find weird.

 

That is to become friends with the eminent dead.

 

Before you call me crazy, let me explain what I mean by befriending famous and respected dead people.

 

The idea behind this is, many of the world’s greatest thinkers and leaders are people of the past.

 

To go through life and not study their workings, life philosophies and adventures will only end up hurting one person. That one person is you.

 

They went to great measures and produced work so that you may benefit from it and live a more productive and fulfilled life. But you must make the effort to seek the knowledge.

 

There’s a good reason their work has stood the test of time. It’s wisdom that is timeless and always applicable. Somethings are human nature and will continue to repeat for as long as we are alive on this earth.

 

This article will introduce you to some of Hazrat Ali’s Quotes of wisdom. Inshallah it will help some of you be guided to living a better life. I’ve learned a lot researching and reading his works. He was a remarkable man.

HAZRAT ALI WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE

1. The biggest shame is to mock at something that you have in yourself

 

Imam Ali (AS)

This is actually a common psychological tendency called projection. We emphasize traits we dislike in ourselves to other people. We are then driven crazy by these people since their qualities are the ones we try to suppress.

 

The whole point of projection is to offload feelings that we don’t want to feel. So next time you’re quick to mock someone answer honestly if it’s something you’re insecure about.

 

2. Two things define you: Your patience when you have nothing and your attitude when you have everything.

 

3. People act like mirrors; friends reflect your good qualities and enemies your faults.

 

4. Through patience, great things are accomplished.

 

5. Incapability is a catastrophe; endurance is bravery; abstinence is riches; self-restraint is a shield (against sin); and the best companion is submission (to Allah’s will)

 

Hazrat Ali

6. Miserliness is shame; cowardice is a defect; poverty disables an intelligent man from arguing his case; and a destitute person is a stranger in his home town.

 

I believe Hazrat Ali in this quote is saying you must help yourself before you can help others. Be in a position wherein your not relying on others for financial help because you lose power to spread your message. “Poverty disables an intelligent man”.

 

7. Knowledge is a venerable estate; good manners are new dresses; and thinking is clear mirror.

 

8. He who adopts greed as a habit devalues himself; he who discloses his hardship agrees to humiliation; and he who allows his tongue to overpower his soul debases the soul.

 

Ali Ibn Abi Talib

9. When this world advances towards anyone (with its favours) it attributes to him other’s good; and when it turns away from him it deprives him of his own good.

 

10. The consequence of fear is disappointment and of bashfulness is frustration. Opportunity passes away like the cloud. Therefore, make use of good opportunities.

11. The perfect jurist of Islam is he who does not let people lose hope from the mercy of Allah, does not make them despondent of Allah’s kindness and does not make them feel safe from Allah’s punishment.

 

12. If someone is quick in saying about people what they dislike, they speak about him that about which they have no knowledge.

 

13. The tongue of the wise man is behind his heart, and the heart of the fool is behind his tongue.

 

14. Blessed is the person who kept in mind the next life, acted so as to be able to render account, remained content with what sufficed him and remained pleased with Allah.

 

15. The best of riches is the abandonement of desires.

 

Imam Ali (AS) Quotes

This quote is powerful. The reason for a lot of our misery is because we like to compare and see what car is in our neighbor’s driveway. We set out materialistic expectations and when they aren’t met we feel inadequate. This is not conducive for a healthy life. Don’t get me wrong, there’s no shame in wanting a nice car or watch, but when that is the goal or ultimate desire you won’t be fulfilled. I believe focusing on process and having the most positive impact you can possibly have will give you as Hazrat Ali says, “the best of riches”.

 

16. The worth of a man is according to his courage, his truthfulness is according to his balance of temper, his valour is according to his self-respect and his chasteness is according to his sense of shame.

20. The sin that displeases you is better in the view of Allah than the virtue which makes you proud.

 

Amir al-mu’minin Quote

21. When you get (only) small favors do not push them away through lack of gratefulness.

 

22. Whenever a person conceals a thing in his heart it manifests itself through unintentional words from his tongue and (in) the expressions of his face.

 

23. O my son, you should avoid making friends with a fool because he may intend to benefit you but may harm you; you should avoid making friends with a miser because he will run away from you when you need him most; you should avoid making friends with a sinful person because he will sell you for nought; and you should avoid making friends with a liar because he is like a mirage, making you feel far things near and near things far.

 

24. He who gallops with loose rein collides with death.

 

25. Generosity is that which is by one’s own initiative, because giving on being asked is either out of self-respect or to avoid rebuke.

34. As intelligence increases, speech decreases.

 

35. If what you aim at does not come about then do not worry as to what you were.

 

36. Time wears our bodies, renews desires, brings death nearer and takes away aspirations. Whoever is successful with it encounters grief and whoever misses its favors also undergoes hardships.

 

37. You will not find an ignorant person but at one extreme or the other (i.e. a person who neglects or a person who exaggerates).

 

38. With wealth a strange land is a homeland, while with destitution even a homeland is a strange land.

 

39. Do not let your difficulties fill you with anxiety, after all it is only in the darkest nights that stars shine more brightly.

 

40. A man’s measure is his will.

 

Further shows Hazrat Ali’s intelligence. It’s reminds me of another saying, “he who wants it the most wins”. How true. A person when no desire or fortitude will never achieve that which he has his eyes set on. Your goals must take hold of you and you must become obsessed for it to become your reality.

 

41. The tongue is a beast; if it is let loose, it devours.

55. Dislike in yourself what you dislike in others.

 

How important. Ask yourself what characteristics will lead you to success by studying successful people or people who you look up to you. Mimic and imitate those behaviors until they become your own. The other side of the coin reads, look at traits you despise and then avoid these behaviors.

 

56. “Smile even if your heart is dripping blood” and in another quote Ali says, “I didn’t see anyone who smiled more than Rasul-Allah (Pbuh)”
