Hikmat Paray is a collection of short, insightful sayings and reflections compiled by Syed Abid Ali to nourish the reader’s mind, character, and spiritual awareness. The book gathers timeless pieces of wisdom drawn from Islamic teachings, classical ethical literature, and the lived experiences of scholars and sages. Each “hikmat”—a brief sentence or paragraph—contains a powerful moral or intellectual lesson, encouraging readers to think deeply about life, faith, responsibility, and personal growth.
Syed Abid Ali presents these wisdom pieces in a simple and accessible style, making them suitable for readers of all ages. The book does not rely on long arguments or complex discussions; instead, it uses concise statements that act like guiding lights for daily living. Through themes such as sincerity, patience, justice, humility, self-discipline, and devotion to God, the author aims to help readers polish their character and align their actions with ethical principles.
The purpose of Hikmat Paray is not just to inform but to transform. The sayings are meant to be read, reflected upon, and practiced. They offer reminders that a meaningful life is built upon thoughtful choices, awareness of one’s inner self, and respect for divine guidance. Syed Abid Ali’s work serves as a small but powerful handbook of moral insight—something a reader can return to again and again for inspiration, clarity, and motivation.
