Whoever mocks his brother for a sin they repented from will not die till he himself falls into the same sin.
Wasting time is worse than death, because death separates you from this world whereas wasting time separates you from Allah
The soul will never become pious and purified except through undergoing afflictions. It is the same as gold that can never be pure except after removing all the base metals in it.
Be to Allah as He wishes, and He will be to you more than you can wish for.
The heart will rest and feel relief if it is settled with Allah. And it will worry and feel anxious if it is settled with the people.
O people who take pleasure in a life that will vanish, falling in love with a fading shadow is sheer stupidity
Every love that leads away from His love is in fact a punishment; only a love that leads to His love is a heartfelt and pure love.
If the heart becomes hardened, the eye becomes dry.
Beware of preoccupying your heart with what it has not been created for.
The sinner does not feel any remorse over his sins, that is because his heart is already dead
He who keeps his heart near God will find peace and tranquility, whilst he who gives his heart to the people will find restlessness and apprehension.
As long as one is following the right way, one should never be concerned about the reproaches of those who like to find faults.
And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill his emptiness.
Repel the thought, for if you don't, it becomes an idea. So repel the idea, for if you don't it will become a desire. So fight against that(desire), for if you don't, it will become a determination and a passion. And if you don't repel that, it will become an action. And if you don't replace it with its opposite, it will become a constant habit. So at that point, it will be difficult for you to change it.
Sins have many side-effects. One of them is that they steal knowledge from you.
If a man's patience is stronger than his whims and desires, then he is like an angel, but if his whims and desires are stronger than his patience, then he is like a devil. If his desire for food, drink and sex is stronger than his patience, then he is no better than an animal.
The heart becomes sick, as the body becomes sick, and its remedy is al-Tawbah (repentance) and protection [from transgression]. It becomes rusty as a mirror becomes rusty, and its clarity is obtained by remembrance. It becomes naked as the body becomes naked, and its beautification is al-Taqwa. It becomes hungry and thirsty as the body becomes hungry, and its food and drink are knowledge, love, dependence, repentance and servitude.
When a person spends his entire day with no concern but Allah alone, Allah will take care of all his needs and take care of all that is worrying him; He will empty his heart so that it will be filled only with love for Him.
Love of Allah is the power of the heart, the sustenance of the heart, the light of the heart.
If the heart is fed by love, the greed for pleasure would disappear.
The heart, in its journey to Allah, Majestic is He, is like that of a bird; Love is its head, and fear and hope are its two wings. When the head and two wings are sound, the bird flies gracefully; if the head is severed, the bird dies; if the bird loses one of its wings, it then becomes a target for every hunter or predator.
We should know that Allah has created us to live an eternal life with no death, a life of pride and ease with no humiliation, a life of security with no fear, a life of richness with no poverty, a life of joy with no pain, a life of perfection with no flaws. Allah is testing us in this world with a life that will end in death, a life of pride that is accompanied by humiliation and degradation, a life that is tainted by fear, where joy and ease are mixed with sorrow and pain.
Everything that is loved, if it is not loved for His sake then this love is nothing but distress and punishment. Every action that is not performed for His sake then it is wasted and severed. Every heart that does not reach Him is wretched; veiled from achieving its success and happiness.
And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.
Whoever desires to purify his heart, then let him prefer Allah to his desires
