A true believer does not fear physical death, rather he fears the death of his heart
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaHow strange! You lose a little from you and you cry. And your whole life is wasting and you're laughing
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaIf you wish to check how much you love Allah, then see how much your heart loves the Quran, and you will know the answer.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaThe keys to the life of the heart lie in reflecting upon the Quran, being humble before Allah in secret, and leaving sins.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaEverything 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.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaFrom the perfection of Allah's ihsan is that He allows His slave to taste the bitterness of the break before the sweetness of the mend. So He does not break his believing slave, except to mend him. And He does not withhold from him, except to give him. And He does not test him (with hardship), except to cure him.
