6. Go not near places of wickedness and indecency, for they are epicenters of Allah's wrath, and punishment.
7. The best of the words is that which is confirmed by the best of the actions.
8. When a man's character becomes goodly, his words become lofty.
9. What a tremendous gift has been given to the one who finds acts of disobedience difficult.
