From the Lamps of the Prophethood:

   " O Lord, praise to You! You are the light of the heavens and the earth and 
all that dwell therein. Praise to You! You are the Lord of the heavens and the 
earth and all that dwell therein. Praise to You! You are the truth, and Your 
promise is true, and Your word is true, and Your meeting is true, and the Garden 
is true, and the Fire is true, and the Prophets were true, and Muhammad is true, 
and the Hour is true! O Allah, to You I commit myself, and in You I believe and 
place my trust, and unto You I turn in repentance, and for You I fight, and 
through You I pass judgment. Forgive me my sins, past and future, open and 
hidden. You are my God; there is no God but You! "

-The Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him - Remembrance and Prayer

Watch your thoughts,  they become words. 

Watch your words,  they become actions. 
Watch your actions,  they become habits. 
Watch your habits, they become character. 
Watch your character,  they become destiny.
