In the intricate paths of life when difficulties and hardships confront a man, and the darkness of difficulty and suffering becomes long, it is patience only that acts like a light for a Muslim, that keeps him safe from wandering here and there, and saves him from the muddy marsh of disappointment, desperation and frustration.
Al-GhazaliYou must convince your heart that whatever Allah has decreed is most appropriate and most beneficial for you.
Al-GhazaliKnow, O beloved, that man was not created in jest or at random, but marvelously made and for some great end. Although he is not form everlasting, yet he lives for ever; and though his body is mean and earthly, yet his spirit is lofty and divine
Al-GhazaliWork for your terrestrial life in proportion to your location in it, and work for your afterlife in proportion to your eternity in it.
Al-Ghazali
