Possession of wealth does not mean living apart from the ordinary people, but rather it is a means to unite with them.

If you take on a good deed, have confidence in Allah, in your people and country.

If your child is malevolent, then blame yourself.

Don’t engage in affairs unacceptable to the public. As long as you desist from such things, the public and society will readily accept you.

Improper, unlawful and forbidden mean acting contrary to the good of society

Proper, permissible and lawful mean acting toward the good of society.

 

My dear fellow Türkmens!

Engaging in lies, gossip and slander lie at the source of all evils. For these are means that set a veil over sins and improper deeds.

If proper deeds are replaced by improper ones in a society, then it means that society does not value moral guidance. Moral guidance means protecting the society and bringing about social unity.

Teach your child how to be pure.

Suspicion of others is a burden on the heart. Being suspicious of one’s fellow, of society and the state is in fact the first step toward committing a sin.

Improper, forbidden and unlawful deeds say, “We are the proper and lawful thing to do.” For that is the only way they can exist. Man must use the permissible and lawful as a shield.
