We relate to you the best stories of what We have revealed to you in this Qur’an

He made these stories the best stories because some stories are not devoid of goodness that comforts souls, and the stories of the Qur’an are better than the stories of others in terms of its good organization, the miraculous style, and the lessons and wisdom it contains. Every story in the Qur’an is the best of the stories in its section, and every story in the Qur’an is better than everything the storyteller tells in something other than the Qur’an, and what is meant is not the best stories of the Qur’an, so that the story of Joseph, peace be upon him, is better than the rest of the stories of the Qur’an, as indicated by his saying, “We have revealed to you this Qur’an and the B in it.” With what We have revealed to you due to causality related to imperfection, the stories contained in the Qur’an are better because they come from the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. It reveals what He knows is the best of benefit to the listeners in the most creative words and combinations, and thus nourishment for the mind and soul, joy for the soul, and taste are obtained from it, the likes of which human minds do not produce.

The Qur’an is neither history nor stories. Rather, it is guidance and admonition. It does not mention a story to explain the date of its occurrence, nor for the sake of thinking about it or understanding its details. Rather, it mentions what it mentions for the sake of a lesson, as God Almighty said: In their stories there was a lesson for those of understanding and an explanation of the ways of gathering together, just as He said: “Saws have passed away before you, so travel through the earth and see what was the end of the deniers.” He said the Sunnah of God, which has passed away among His servants, and other verses.

The incidents mentioned above are what are known, and God Almighty mentions of this and that whatever He wishes to mention for the sake of the lesson and the moral, so He suffices the story with the place of the lesson and the place of benefit, and does not present it in detail with its parts, which do not add to the lesson, but may distract from it.

The purpose of the stories of the Qur’an is to be a lesson and a consideration, not to narrate facts and to entertain people by narrating them and detailing them as an example to those with understanding. Therefore, the Noble Lord intends to point to the place of lesson and clarify it, and to the place of insight and explain it. These are the best paths: education through history and education about the conditions of the past. This lesson is taken by the wise person in knowing the consequences of his actions or the actions of others, so that he can correct the course of his life and advise others of his loved ones and companions.

لقد كان في قصصهم أي قصص الأنبياء والرسل مع قومهم عبرة لأولي الألباب أن يعتبرون بها أهل الخير وأهل الشر وأن من فعل مثل فعلهم ناله ما نالهم من كرامة أو إهانة ويعتبرون بها أيضا ما لله من صفات الكمال والحكمة العظيمة وأنه الله الذي لا تنبغي العبادة إلا له وحده لا شريك له

إن محاولة جعل قصص القرآن ككتب التاريخ بإدخال ما يرون فيها على أنه بيان لها هي مخالفة لسنته وصرف للقلوب عن موعظته وأيضاعة لمقصده وحكمته فالواجب أن نفهم ما فيه ونعمل أفكارنا في استخراج العبر منه ونزع نفوسنا عما ذمه وقبحه ونحملها على التحلي بما استحسنه ومدحه

الناس بأزمنتهم أشبه منهم بآبائهم وأمهاتهم

عقول الناس على قدر زمانهم

من رأى أن من في المسجد ليس في الصلاة إلا من كان قائما يصلي فإنه لم يفقه

Mosques are purified from five things: that punishments be carried out in them, that wounds be repaired in them, that poems be recited in them, that the lost person be recited in them, or that they take place in a market.

There is no man who goes to the mosque in the morning with something good that he learns or teaches, but God records for him the reward of the Mujahid, and he does not return except as spoils.

Mosques are houses of God and the visitor has the right to honor his visitor

A sin by which I am lacking is dearer to me than an action by which I am found worthy

How can a rational person admire his work, when work is considered a blessing from God? Rather, he should be grateful and humble. Rather, those who claim that they work are admired by his work. As for whoever claims that he is used for anything, he admires it.

Contempt for people in yourself is a disease that cannot be cured

If you fear that your work will be miraculous, then remember the satisfaction of whom you seek, what bliss you desire, and what punishment you dread, then your work will be diminished for you.

Nothing is given to a servant after faith better than reason

I found in some of what God revealed to his prophets that Satan has not suffered anything more severe for him than a rational believer, and that he suffers a hundred thousand ignorant people and mocks them until he mounts their necks so that they submit to him wherever he wants. And he suffers a rational believer and makes it difficult for him until he does not get anything from him.

This is very good speech, and it is said that whoever does not have the majority of the good qualities in his mind will die due to the majority of the good qualities in him.

Which people are the most foolish? He said, “The wisest.” It was said, “The most knowledgeable.” He said, “The most wise.”

Do not look at a man's mind in his words, but look at his mind in the outgoings of his affairs

There is not an hour of the world that will not be presented to the servant on the Day of Resurrection, day by day, hour by hour, and no hour will pass by in which God is not mentioned except that his soul will be torn apart over it with regrets. So what if hour passes by hour and day by day?

Do not let the large number of people distract you from yourself, for the matter will be resolved for you rather than for them, and beware of spending your day here and there, for it will be preserved for you.

Everything that distracts you from God Almighty, whether family, money, or children, is bad for you

It is your life, so spend it as you wish

The greatest calamity for a wise person in a day is to pass by without receiving a gift from his Lord, meaning new wisdom

I can please everyone except the one who envies his blessings, for he will only be satisfied with their disappearance

Joseph's brothers have not forgotten you, but his uncle is in your heart, for he will not harm you unless you return him with hand and tongue

Bliss is from faith and envy is from hypocrisy. The believer is envious and does not envy, and the hypocrite is envious and is not envious

I see you, by God, as I love and as those who love goodness for you love. I see you as strong in amassing money, chaste with it, just in sharing it. If you are bored, we will be equal to you. It is not equal to an arrow in culture. Omar said, “Praise be to God who put me among a people. If I am inclined, they will be equal to me.”

He is worthy of the punishment of this world before the punishment of the afterlife

The most hated person to me is the one who does not seek help from me except from God Almighty

If a mountain transgressed against a mountain, the transgressor would destroy you

I do not place my sword where my whip suffices me, and I do not place my whip where my tongue suffices me, even if there is a hair between me and the people that is cut off. It was said: How is that? He said: If they extended it I would let it go, and if they were empty I would extend it.

I complain to you about the lack of rats. He said, “How good is this metaphor? Fill her house with bread, meat, ghee, and dates.”

I am determined to give the Muslims a matter of justice, but I fear that their hearts will not bear it, so I give away with it a desire for this world. If the hearts are repulsed by this, they will settle for this.

What prevents you from implementing your opinion in this matter? By God, I did not care if pots boiled with you and me in implementing this matter. Then Omar said, “I am taming people in the sport of the difficult, for God will preserve me. I will go with my opinion, even if I hasten to die, God knows my intention. I fear that if I attack the people with what you say, they will resort to the sword, and there is no good in good that only comes with the sword.”

I said to Abu Umayyah, “I do not think this wretched woman is anything but oppressed.” He said, “O my people, Joseph’s brothers came to their father at dinner, crying.”

I don't know. They said to him, "I take such-and-such every month, and it does not improve." He said, "I only take it for what is good. If I took it for what is not good, the treasury of money will be exhausted, and what is not good will not be consumed."

He preached to me and summarized, and he said, “O Commander of the Faithful, God was not satisfied with Himself to place any of His creation above you, so do not be pleased with Him yourself by being His servant. I am grateful to you.”

I did not protect my face from seeking you, so protect your face from my response and humble me in your generosity as I humble myself in your hope

If he does not see God blessing him except in eating and drinking, then his understanding is diminished and his torment is present

How many blessings God Almighty has in a resident race

Be more concerned about the acceptance of work than you are about work, for no work will diminish with piety, and how can there be less work that will be accepted?

He is obeyed, so he is not disobeyed, he is remembered, so he is not forgotten, and he is grateful, so he is not disbelieved

The people of piety have signs by which they are known, and they recognize them from themselves, such as patience in the face of calamity, contentment with judgment, gratitude for blessings, and submission to the ruling of the Qur’an.

Whoever fears God, God will be with him, and whoever God Almighty is with him, with him is the group that cannot be defeated, the guard who does not sleep, and the guide who does not go astray.

Fear it with piety, so it was said to him: Describe piety for us, and he said: Piety is an act of obedience to God on a light from God, hoping for God’s mercy, and abandoning disobedience to God on a light from God, fearing God’s punishment.

Be creative and concise, for there is no piety except through action, and no action except through careful knowledge and following, and that is of no use except with sincerity to God, not so that it can be said that so-and-so has abandoned sins with the light of jurisprudence, since avoiding sins requires knowledge of them, and abandonment is out of fear of God, not to be praised for abandoning it. So whoever persists in this commandment has achieved success.
