Whatever the situation may be, in the recollection of death there is reward and merit. For even the man engrossed in the world benefits from it by acquiring an aversion to this world, since it spoils his contentment and the fullness of his pleasure; and everything which spoils for man his pleasures and his appetites is one of the means of deliverance.
Al-GhazaliIf your busy with yourself now, you will be busy with yourself then. If you are busy with Allah now, you will be with Him then.
Al-GhazaliLove for God is the farthest reach of all stations, the sun of the highest degrees, and there is no station after that of love, except its fruit and its consequences.
Al-GhazaliDeclare your jihad on thirteen enemies you cannot see - Egoism, Arrogance, Conceit, Selfishness, Greed, Lust, Intolerance, Anger, Lying, Cheating, Gossiping and Slandering. If you can master and destroy them, then will be ready to fight the enemy you can see.
Al-GhazaliDo not allow your heart to take pleasure with the praises of people, nor be saddened by their condemnation.
Al-Ghazali
