Ibn Taymiyyah lived poorly. He was imprisoned and threatened. But I have never seen anyone as happy as him.
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-JawziyyaWhen there is money in your hand and not in your heart, it will not harm you even if it is a lot; and when it is in your heart, it will harm you even if there is none in your hands.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaAs long as one is following the right way, one should never be concerned about the reproaches of those who like to find faults.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaYearning 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.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
