Envy destroys good deeds
al-Hadi, Ali
Jealousy is the cause of erosion of good deeds, as well as the attracter of chastisement.
al-Hadi, Ali
Blessed is the man who always kept the life after death in his view, who remembered the Day of Judgment through all his deeds, who led a contented life and who was happy with the lot that God had destined for him.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
One who hopes inordinately, impairs his deeds.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
Three things destroy a man: considering his own deeds to be really great, forgetting the sins that have been committed, considering his own opinion to be the highest.
al-Baqir, Muhammad
Importance of the deeds that you have done with fear of God cannot be minimized and how can the deeds which are acceptable to God be considered unimportant.
Ali bin Abu-Talib
Words are women, deeds are men.
