The more someone complains to Allah, the more Allah gives him a reason to complain. And the more someone expresses thankfulness to Allah, the more Allah blesses him.

My beloved teacher and Sheikh Hadhrat Mufti Ahmed Khanpoori Sahib Mudda Zilluhu offered me sound advice regarding differences of opinions. He stated that in legitimate differences of opinions, one should adopt the following attitude;
"نہ مجھ پر وحی آئی ، نہ ان پر وحی آئی "
”Neither was wahi revealed upon me, nor was wahi revealed upon them.”
The most dignified and impressive actions are three:
(1) Generosity in a state of poverty and deficiency
(2) Piety and abstinence in privacy
(3) A word of truth spoken in the presence of someone you have pinned your hope on or someone you fear.

Shu‘bah narrated from Hishām who said Qatādah reported on the authority of Yūnus ibn Jubair:
شُعْبَةُ، وَهِشَامٌ: عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ يُوْنُسَ بنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ:
We were with Jundub b. ‘Abdillâh Al-Bajalî رضي الله عنه I asked him, “Advise us.”
He said: “I advise you to fear Allāh ﷻ and obey Him (taqwā)
And I advise you to adhere to the Qur’ān,
For it is a light in the dark night and a guidance during the day,
So implement it no matter how much struggle and poverty you have to face.
If a calamity befalls you, put your wealth forward to protect your religion,
And if the calamity continues, put forward your wealth and your life to save your religion [but never risk your religion],
This cannot be undone and I am sure it will be greatly appreciated.
