Moderation in All Affairs


The Messenger of Allah said:

أَحْبِبْ حَبِيبَكَ هَوْناً مَا

Love your loved ones moderately,

عَسَى اَنْ يَكُونَ بَغِيضَكَ يوماً مَا

as one day he may become someone you hate!

وَ اَبْغِضْ بَغِيضَكَ هَوْناً مَا

And hate the one you hate moderately,

عَسَى أَنْ يَكُونَ حَبِيبَكَ يَوماً مَا

as one day he may become someone you love!
