The keys to the life of the heart lie in reflecting upon the Quran, being humble before Allah in secret, and leaving sins.

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.

There is no captive in a worse state than the one who is captivated by his worst enemy (Shaytan) and there is no prison which is tighter than the prison of hawa (desire) and there is no bond/fetter more strong than the bond of desire. How, then, will a heart which is captivated, imprisoned and fettered travel unto Allah and the Home of the Hereafter?

Every drop of sweat and every breath we take in life, if not taken for the sake of Allah, will lead to regret and sorrow on the Day of Judgment

O people who take pleasure in a life that will vanish, falling in love with a fading shadow is sheer stupidity

Be sincere in your aim and you will find the support of Allaah surrounding you.

The sinner does not feel any remorse over his sins, that is because his heart is already dead
