Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):

Verily God-wariness is the right of Allah, the Glorified, upon you and it necessitates your right over Allah, so seek Allah’s help to achieve it and use it as a means of attaining proximity to Allah.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Treat your [spiritual] ailments with God-wariness and anticipate [and prepare for] your death by it; take a lesson from those who have neglected it and ensure that those who heed to it do not take a lesson from you [for having neglected it].
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Verily God-wariness is a strong fortress [of protection] for the one who takes refuge in it, and impiety is the dilapidated fortress [of humiliation] which does not protect its people and does not offer security to the one who takes refuge in it.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
So be wary of [your duty towards] Allah with the God-wariness of one who listens hence humbles himself, who commits [a sin] hence he confesses, who becomes afraid hence he performs virtuous acts and is cautious hence he hastens [towards good deeds].
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Be wary of [your duty towards] Allah with the God-wariness of one who was called so he answered, who was penitent so he returned back, who was warned so he became cautious, who passed by [a place] so he took lessons [from it] and who feared so he remained safe.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
And fear Allah, who is justified [in punishing you for disobedience] by the warning He has issued, and has a strong argument because He has made the [right] path clear and has warned you of the enemy who enters into the hearts stealthily and whispers secrets in the ears.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
So be wary of [your duty towards] Allah with the God-wariness of one who thinks about returning towards the Hereafter, the end [and consequence] of his life’s journey and the place of his [final] return, so he remedies his past errors and increases his righteous actions.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
So be wary of [your duty towards] Allah, O servants of Allah, with the God- wariness of one who has preoccupied his heart with reflection, who [always] has the remembrance [of Allah] on his tongue and who advances [good deeds out of] fear for his safety [in the Hereafter].
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Verily the wariness of their duty towards Allah has shielded His friends from what He has forbidden and has made their hearts bound by His fear, so much so that their nights pass in wakefulness and their midday’s in thirst; thus they take comfort in hardship and are quenched by thirst.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
So be wary of [your duty towards] Allah, O servants of Allah, with the God- wariness of one who tucks up his clothes in preparation [for fulfilling the commandments of Allah] and makes great effort, who acts quickly during the short period [he has] and hurries out of fear [of losing the opportunity].
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Be wary of your duty towards Allah with the wariness of one who hears [the message of guidance] hence humbly submits, commits a misdeed hence confesses [and repents], learns [the truth] hence trembles in fear, is cautious [about the Hereafter] hence takes the initiative [to do good] and performs an action and does it well.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
So be wary of [your duty towards] Allah with the God-wariness of one who attains certitude hence he does good, who is given lesson [from the happenings of this world] so he takes it, who is warned so he desists, who is shown [the right path] so he sees [it], and who fears the chastisement [of the Hereafter] and works for the Day of Reckoning.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
God-wariness is the most fruitful cultivation
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Verily the fear of Allah [and God-wariness] has continually presented itself to the people of the past and those who came after them, because they will [all] need it tomorrow when Allah resurrects what He has created and takes back what He has given; but how few are those who undertake it the way it deserves to be undertaken!
