This collection of aphorisms is not only one of the most famous and celebrated throughout the Muslim world, like so many aphorisms before it, they are a gift, not just to Muslims, but to humanity and deserve to be shared, studied, memorised, and ultimately passed on. 

 
While there are many, many beautiful commentaries on the Aphorisms, the true commentary is your deep reading and re-reading of them and the process of internalisation of these wisdoms over time. 
 

Let the commentary, therefore, be a lifelong journey with the text as its meanings unfold themselves to you day by day.
