Mashahallah. Just awed at Shaykh Abdul Hakim Murad's depth, eloquence and wisdom. May Allah preserve him. Contentions 13 are out!
Here are my favorites ( from the small number I understand):
5. You cannot grow out of your culture, but you can help it to grow.
44. Show yourself yourself; then He will show Himself Himself.
70. Pay attention, and trust in God.
71. Know that your plans are written on water.
78. The world is the way it is because you are the way you are.
81. 'Fear of God is knowledge enough. To be pleased with one's knowledge is ignorance enough.' (Bint Umm Hassan)
91. Respect the insights that can only be expressed by humour.
92. Pride is the crown of the ignorant.
93. Traditional Islam is not the replication of the positions of the ancients; it is to seek what they sought.
94. Look within, and what is outside you will become clear. Look around you, and you will understand yourself.
99. A little worship with sincerity is all of religion; abundant worship for the sake of one's image of oneself is nothing at all.
100. Modernity finds it hard to distinguish between rest and idleness.
