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

There are six stages to knowledge: Firstly: Asking questions in a good manner. Secondly: Remaining quiet and listening attentively. Thirdly: Understanding well. Fourthly: Memorising. Fifthly: Teaching. Sixthly- and it is its fruit: Acting upon the knowledge and keeping to its limits.

Doom comes about because of neglecting to evaluate one's self and because of just following one's whims.

Yearning for Allah and His meeting is like the gentle breeze blowing upon the heart, extinguishing the blaze of the Dunya. Whosoever caused his heart to settle with his Lord shall be in a state, calm and tranquility, and whosoever sent it amongst the people shall be disturbed and excessively perturbed.

As long as one is following the right way, one should never be concerned about the reproaches of those who like to find faults.

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 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.
