Bismihi Ta'ala





From the Wisdom of Hazrat Ali (RA):

"Everything has a misfortune:

The misfortune of knowledge is forgetfulness;

The misfortune of worship is ostentation;

The misfortune of intelligence is conceit;

the misfortune of nobility is pride;

the misfortune of wittiness is arrogance;

the misfortune of generosity is extravagance;

the misfortune of modesty is weakness;

the misfortune of forbearance is humiliation;

the misfortune of suffering is obscenity."
