Koran

God is with the patient.

Haste is of the devil.

If ye do well, to your own behoof will ye do it; and if ye do evil, against yourselves will ye do it.

Prayer carries us half way to God, fasting brings us to the door of His palace and alms-giving procures us admission.

That which God writes on thy forehead thou wilt come to.

There is no God but God, the living, the self-subsisting.

To God belongeth the east and the west; therefore, whithersoever ye turn yourselves to pray, there is the word of God; for God is omnipresent and omniscient.

When a man dies they who survive him ask what property he has left behind. The angel who bends over the dying man asks what good deeds he has sent before him.

When we are saluted with a salutation, salute the person with a better salutation, or at least return the same, for God taketh an account of all things.
