TAKE YOUR PRECAUTIONS
In all facets of life, one should take precautions and study the possible outcomes of every action, because by being careful, one will have no cause for future self-recrimination. If the results of one's endeavours are good, one should thank and praise God. If the results of one's endeavours are not so good, one should say, "God has made His decree and whatever He pleases, He does."
VERIFY THE FACTS YOURSELF
The judicious person is he who, when hearing some news, does not hurry into judgement based merely on what he hears. Instead, he verifies and authenticates what he hears; he thinks things over and he consults with wiser and more experienced people. It has been rightly said that to err by forgiving someone is better than to err by punishing him.
THE FRUIT OF CONTENTMENT IS THANKFULNESS
Contentment leads to thankfulness, which is among the highest levels of faith. In truth, it is the reality of faith. The epitome of all the differing levels of righteousness is thankfulness to God. And the one who is not content with God's favour and rulings and with His giving and His taking away is not thankful to Him. Indeed, the thankful person is the most blessed and prosperous of people.
