A letter to Mu'awiya.

Pearl of Wisdom

Commit a tyrant to oath whenever you want his oath in a way that it is devoid of the power and strength of Allah, for verily if he falsely takes oath by it, his Oath-Taking chastisement will be hastened, and if he takes oath by Allah whom there is no god but He, it will not be hastened because he has professed the unity of Allah, the all-High.'

Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as]

Letter 49 A letter to Mu'awiya.

This vicious world will try to turn a man away from religion and from having faith in the Hereafter. And when a worldly-minded person grasp a little of it, it always opens before him vistas of false hopes, ambitions, temptations and greed, so that he is never satisfied with what he has grabbed and will always covet for more. The result often is that he loses what he has already amassed and his plans do not work out. If you take a lesson from the past then you can guard your future very well.
