Chosen Islamic Manners

*O student of knowledge, if you seek knowledge, then study the general rules and specific chapters under each branch of knowledge.

*If you are given a position of power, do not seek to be praised by people. If people realize that you seek this and that you enjoy it, they will attack you on account of it, gossip and laugh at you.
*You cannot please all people at all times; more so, you cannot seek to please those who oppose you or are misguided. You should try to please the intellectual, pious Muslims. Whenever you do this, you will be sufficed and protected from the misguided populace.
