📷 The Most Salient Feature of Muslim Ummah
According to traditions, the main characteristic of the Ummah of the last Prophet is "self-sacrifice". In an Islamic society, if we promote standing up for our individual rights instead of calling people to self-sacrifice, then we might uproot the virtues of the Muslim Community. It is desirable for a human being to stand up for his rights; however, people can have their rights only in a society in which individuals are willing to make a sacrifice.

📷 The Base of all Prosperities
Peace is the base of all prosperities and pleasures. If we lose our peace because of a pleasure, we have, in fact, lost that pleasure. No pleasure or fun of any sort should spoil our peace and tranquility. The pleasure we might get out of committing a sinful act tends to be accompanied by stress and anxiety, hence disrupting our peace.

📷 The Happiness that is Followed by Depression
If the cheerfulness and energy of human beings result from superficial factors, it will be followed by severe depression. On the other hand, if our happiness comes from durable and profound sources, it will be followed by higher levels of liveliness and further energy.

📷 How to Watch over our Hearts
Starting to like something is like moving downwards in a direction, whereas not liking something anymore is like moving upwards in the same direction you move in; that is why the latter is more difficult than the former. The solution that God has offered to us is watching over our hearts from the very beginning

📷 Devotion is the Supreme Pleasure
Devotion to the beloved is the best pleasure of human beings, and no pleasure ever compares with that of falling in love with and reaching the beloved. However, we ruin this great asset by misusing it due to our natural hastiness.

📷 How to Make our Talents Flourish
The potentialities of a human being are far beyond our imagination; however, human beings not only do not utilize most of their capacities but they do not even try to become familiar with them. The best way we can make our talents and potentialities to blossom is by controlling our instinctive desires and passions.

📷 Our Hourly Need in the Quran
The Quran is an illuminated piece from a higher station in heaven that has been descended to us from God Almighty. We need to benefit from the light of the Quran, just as an infant needs its mother's milk.

📷 Our Likes or the Killers of our Talents?!
Most of our likes and interests are like our enemies, killing all of our talents. Most human beings allow the minimum number of their talents to blossom.

📷 Our Best Supervisor
The best supervisor of everybody is no one but himself. Each of us has an inner clear-sighted and sympathetic teacher who is silent. But we should get him to talk about us in the process of self-examination.

📷 The Fruit of Courtesy before God
Courtesy in the presence of God strengthens human belief in God. Observing the etiquette of worshiping means having good manners in the presence of our Lord. Courtesy brings kindness and eliminates haughtiness, which is the source of all vices.
