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.

Allah will never humiliate the one who takes his Lord as friend and patron.

Sitting with the poor and less fortunate people removes the ego and pride from your heart.

Patience is that the heart does not feel anger towards that which is destined and that the mouth does not complain.

The perfection of Tawheed is found when there remains nothing in the heart except Allaah

We should know that Allah has created us to live an eternal life with no death, a life of pride and ease with no humiliation, a life of security with no fear, a life of richness with no poverty, a life of joy with no pain, a life of perfection with no flaws. Allah is testing us in this world with a life that will end in death, a life of pride that is accompanied by humiliation and degradation, a life that is tainted by fear, where joy and ease are mixed with sorrow and pain.

As you can taste a pot full of food with a spoon likewise someone's tounge can tell you about his heart.
