This wordly life is like a shadow. If you try to catch it, you will never be able to do so. If you turn your back towards it, it has no choice but to follow you.

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

The hijrah to Allah includes abandoning what He hates and doing what He loves and accepts.

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.

Wasting time is worse than death, because death separates you from this world whereas wasting time separates you from Allah

Whoever desires to purify his heart, then let him prefer Allah to his desires

Ibn Taymiyyah lived poorly. He was imprisoned and threatened. But I have never seen anyone as happy as him.
