Farmanay Hazrat Abu Bakar(R.A)

Allah yolunda hareket eden Allah ona yardım edecektir

Abu Bakr was of a contemplative bent of mind. He often expressed his thoughts in words that were conspicuous because of their wisdom. A number of his sayings have come down to us, and these show the depth and dimension of his thought and philosophy. Here are some of the sayings of Abu Bakr that have assumed the character of a proverb.

Greatness

About greatness, Abu Bakar said:

Run away from greatness and greatness will follow you.

There is greatness in the fear of God, contentment in faith of God, and honors in humility.

Good actions

About good actions, Abu Bakr said:

Good actions are a guard against the blows of adversity.

Be good to others, that will protect you against evil.

If you expect the blessings of God, be good to His people.

Every day, nay every moment, try to do some good deed.

Death

About death, he said:

Have an earnestness for death and you will have life.

Death is the easiest of all things after it, and the hardest of all things before it.

Knowledge

About knowledge, he said:

The more knowledge you have, the greater will be your fear of Allah.

Without knowledge action is useless and knowledge without action is futile.

Knowledge is the life of the mind.

When a noble man learns knowledge he becomes humble, [whereas] when an ignoble person gains knowledge, he [becomes] conceited.

When knowledge is limited - it leads to folly. [But] when knowledge exceeds a certain limit, it leads to exploitation.

Advice

In the matter of advice, he said:

When you seek advice, do not withhold any facts from the person whose advice you seek.

When you advise any person you should be guided by the fear of God.

If anybody seeks your advice, offer right and sincere advice.

He who is not impressed by sound advice, lacks faith.
