اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن ضَعْفٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِن بَعْدِ ضَعْفٍ قُوَّةً ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِن بَعْدِ قُوَّةٍ ضَعْفًا وَشَيْبَةً يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَهُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْقَدِيرُ
It is Allah who created you from [a state of] weakness, then He gave you power after weakness. Then, after power, He ordained weakness and old age: He creates whatever He wishes, and He is the All-knowing, the All-powerful.

Commentary on Quran 30:54-60
Mort virtues develop by adopting patience and cheerfulness as former is essence of faith and latter mother of virtues. Guard against hasty extempore arguments leading to excitement as their ultimate fate is failure and repentance, whereas contemplative well-designed acts have been pioneer in raising one’s estimation. Be modest, contemplative, cheerful, though sober and grave and avoid public enmity, which generates the worst diseases of the soul, viz. jealousy, backbiting, lie, allegation, ridicule, and pleasure at another’s mishaps, thus rendering the heart, incapable of attaining Divine Will. Avoid evil desires, which develop love for property and children and these unless they are secured and devoted absolutely to Divine Will, under legitimate means, result in human destruction. Be quick in obliging in virtuous acts, though not against justice, careful against notorious mischief mongers, forbearing and forgiving to the obedient, but strict to the incurable and inveterate disobedient but within bounds of justice, kind, polite, and advisory to the obedient, but maintaining self-respect to the disobedient in enforcing rules of the department if sub-ordinate, so long as he continues persisting therein and to one’s better half in domestic administration but never to parents, as no virtues are appreciated at their displeasures, inimical to self-opinion and self-conceitedness due to knowledge, position, birth – virtues and other Divine gifts (as it is highly self-delusive and destructive), tender and highly unreservedly self-denying. Never rest content on self-opinion, unless founded on reason, made to conform to Divine Law, rightly expounded by those authorized. Avoid joke, shooting and going to the royal gate, as they harden the heart.
