1. It is mentioned in a Hadîth that this world has been created to be utilised and that of all the things that are utilised in this world, there is nothing better than a pious woman. In other words, if a person is fortunate enough to get a pious wife, it will be a great blessing.

A person enjoys comfort from such a woman for his worldly needs and she also assists him in fulfilling his religious duties.  Read more... (1377 words, estimated 5:30 mins reading time)

2. Looking towards those who are below me (i.e. those who do not possess as much as I have) and should not look towards those who are above me (i.e. those who have much more provision for worldly life than I have).

It was his noble habit to sit cross-legged after having said morning prayer and ask the people about their dreams. Who ever should have seen a dream, he would mention it. Before hearing the dream he would recite:

Accept the good and guard against the evil. Let (this dream) bode good for us and evil for our enemies. Praise be to ALLAH, the Cherisher of the worlds. Later he abandoned the practice. [Zad-ul-Ma’ad, Shamail-e-Tirmizi]

Surely, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are signs for the people of wisdom,

الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ قِيَاماً وَقُعُوداً وَعَلَى جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذَا بَاطِلاً سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ (3:191)

We proclaim Your purity. So, save us from the punishment of Fire.  Read more... (533 words, estimated 2:08 mins reading time)
