Grandfather's Wisdom
Play fair in sports, as well as in all worldly matters. Justice is the cardinal law in Islam
Share every thing with others --- there is blissful joy in sharing and caring.
Put things back where you found them, you will be happy to find it there when you need it.
Clean your mess --- how awful it is, if others see our dirty stuff!
Do not take things that are not yours, beware taking anything without permission is thieving.
Say you are sorry when you hurt anybody, bodily or mentally. Allah does not like it when someone hurts another person.
Do not forget to brush your teeth before you go to bed and take a bath every day.
Do not forget your prayers. It helps us keep God in our hearts.
Always greet elders and young ones with As Salaamu Alykum when you get up in the morning.
Do some physical exercise in the morning before breakfast. Yoga exercise is simple and good.
Shabby exterior gives a bad impression, when you dress up make sure your clothes and are clean and ironed.
Flush the toilet after use. Clean the mess wherever you find it. Cleanliness is half of the faith.
Choose some good hobby to spend your leisure hours. Why not book reading? You will never be alone with a book in your pocket.
Unless you make a public commitment, your faith will not take hold. You can not be a private Muslim.
Make sure people know you are a Muslim and always be a good example.
Time is your friend. Don't kill it.
The best way to destroy an enemy is make them your friend.
Don't be liberal in making promises, when you make any fulfill it as a word of honor.
Respect is a matter of give and take, as love begets love.
Talk politely even in disagreement --- it is better to lose an argument than to lose a friend.
Talk in even and low voice tones, whining and braying is a donkey's trait. Talking softly is a sign of being cultured.
Always be humble. God does not like arrogance.
Kindness is more important than wisdom, and the recognition of this is the beginning of wisdom.
Do not say I cannot, say God willing I will try. If you have a will to do --- Allah will help you in your endeavor.
It is better to have tried and lost, than not to have tried at all.
You can accomplish anything under the sun, with determination followed by hard work.
If you pray for anything pray for knowledge and wisdom.
There is nothing that can defeat honesty and hard work.
One who asks a question may be a fool for a minute, but one who does not ask is a fool forever. So don't be shy to ask.
Take lesson from the candle ... which burns itself to give light to others, and banishes darkness.
It is said "wise people talk less, eat less, and sleep less".
Never eat anything unless you are hungry. And according to our Prophet when you do eat keep one third of your stomach for food, one third for water and one third empty.
Oppression is the vilest manifestation of barbarism. Neither oppress anybody nor be oppressed.
Any activity can be made creative by a dint of zeal and enthusiasm.
It is through passion that people achieve success. Find your passion.
Read, Understand and live your life by the Quran.

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend." Bruce Lee
"We created every living being from water" Holy Quran
Water is life. A true Muslim(a) is full of life. He/she is beyond ethnicity & race. He/she fits in all cultures but never changes his/her core identity.
I wanted to write that I disagree with the post that you should flush after each and every single use. Yes, we should be clean, but there are droughts going on and in some areas you have to be real careful with with water consumption. Toilets are one the biggest wasters of water.
I am always saddened that Moslems are not often very environmentally conscious. I even have heard of people who in order to be "clean" take baths up to three times a day! (And these are not people who live without air conditioning or other anemities.)
Yes cleanliness is a virtue and yet this has to be balanced out with caretaking of the resources Allah gave to us as well as the planet as a whole. I know in places such as California they MUST do water restrictions.
Considering that people in the Prophet's (PBUH)time lived in a desert region I cannot imagine they used so much water and often wasted so much as I often see my fellow Moslem's do.
Thank you.
Alah has givn us two ears and one mouth. (talk less and hear more)

It may be more blessed to give than to receive but remember always to receive with grace and humility - for sometimes the greatest gift we can give is to allow others to serve us with their love.

Having an interest in a subject is to the key to learning more about it. You can become better educated simply by encouraging yourself to become more interested. Hopefully, you would be grateful to God for having done so.
Even if my words contain any wisdom, the wisdom they contain is not actually mine. Hopefully, I would be grateful to God for having encouraged truthfulness as well as a sense of humility in others as well as in myself.
Alhamdulillah / Praise God!
