The Wisdom of Luqmaan Al Hakeemرضى الله عنه in 
His advices to His son

                                       ****** 1 ******
 
                                           oh my son!
         ''None should partake of your meal except pious people.
          Consult regarding your matters with the Ulama."


                                    ****** 2 ******

        "(Sit in the) Gatherings of the pious servants of Allah.
                 You will find goodness in their company.
        At the end of their gatherings, (Allah Ta'ala's) mercy
       descends upon them and (there is great hope that) it
                               will envelop you also.
        Never sit in the company of the evil, because you will
          not acquire any goodness with them. Retribution
       descends upon them and (there is a possibility) that it 
                              will inflict you also.''


                                    ******3***** 

          ''Don't aspire for the love of an ignoramus, for you will
             see that you will become pleased with his actions.
           Do not attach little importance to the aversion of a 
           wise person for he will develop a dislike for you.''       


                                 ******4******

             ''Become  a slave to the chosen and good people
                          and do not befriend the evil.''


                               ******5*****  

              ''Keep away from your enemy,
                   be wary of your friend
  and do not turn your attention to that which does not
                      benefit you (vain things).''


                              ******6******

            "He who conceals his secrets,
      (maintains) the advantage in his hands.''


                           ******7******

                                    ''O my son!        
      (Hold on to) the gatherings of the Ulama, and jostle up
          to them with your knees (i.e.sit close to them).
    Indeed Allah Ta'ala enlivens the hearts with wisdom
     like the dead earth is revived with beneficial rains.''
 

                           ******8******

                                 ''O my son!
           Jostle up to the Ulama with your knees.
      Do not argue and debate with them, for they will
                                detest you.
         Spend from the excess of your earnings for the 
                                 Aakhirah.
      Do not discard or abandon the world totally,
          or you would be reduced to poverty, 
       and become a weight on the necks of the rich.
     Fast on some days, it will break your (carnal/base)
                                  desires.
     Do not fast a continuous fast, as it will affect your 
                                   Salaat.
    Verily, Salaat is superior to fasting. Become a father to
                                   orphans
    and (like) a husband to widows (by providing for them
                          and serving their needs).
    Never sit with ignoramuses and never mix with two-
                           faced persons.''
