    Pearls of Wisdom from Umar bin Khattab

    (RA)

    1- When someone transgresses upon your rights (and in doing so


    disobeys Allah) the way to 'revenge' is to obey Allah in dealing with
    him. (use reason/rules instead of anger)

    2- When something comes to you from your brother, accept it as


    something good, unless you have overwhelming evidence against it.
    (hush dhann- thinking good of people)

    3- Don't take the word of a Muslim as ill. When there is a way of


    seeing it positively, take it that way. Find one good interpretation out
    of 10.

    4- Avoid positions that will make others doubt you. (ie disobey Allah
    publicly, hang out with ppl who don't care, at all time and places)

    5- Do not blame others. When you have a secret, its under your
    control, but when you tell someone else, that control is not yours
    anymore. People fall under different factors and pressures, so do not
    blame others.

    6- Always take care of the brothers and sisters of truth. Be with them
    always. They will protect you. They are always a beautiful ornament.
    In good times you will have ease, and in time of difficulty, you will
    have protection and support.

    7- Be strict and careful in choosing your friends.

    8- Always be with the truth even against your own life.

    9- Don't indulge in that which is meaningless. Every moment of our life


    is meaningful- use it to worship Allah subhanawat'ala

    10- Don't ask about that which didn't happen. You already have
    enough to deal with, be practical, deal with immediate problems not
    the future of ghayb.
    11- Don't ask for your need to be fulfilled from someone who wouldn't
    like your need to be fulfilled. Try to be self-sufficient as individuals and
    as an ummah, muslims of early generation were poor but didn't lower
    themselves. Always be with dignity.

    12- Don't be neglectful or careless in swearing by the name of Allah.


    Otherwise, Allah will bring punishment for you.

    13- Don't be in the company of fajaar (those who commit major sins
    openly and don't care) You WILL be affected. Your own behavior
    changes little by little. Be in the company of people who remind you of
    Allah.

    14- Be aware of your enemy. Be careful, alert, and prepared.

    15- Remember death. Visit the graveyards, try to be in kushuu'. If you


    can't cry, force yourself to. Try to be humble in front of the Creator, the
    One who gives life and takes it away.

    16- Be HUMBLE in acts of obedience to Allah. No one will protect us


    but Allah. Seek protection from Allah in Allah.

    17- Seek tawbaah. Immediately, be determined, have resolve.

    18- Consult in your matters those who have kashiyaah (fear of Allah
    and always conscious of Him), because those who have kashiyaah are
    the ones that truly have ilm.
