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.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaA tear that runs down a believer's cheek is more beneficial than a thousand raindrops on the earth
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaPatience is that the heart does not feel anger towards that which is destined and that the mouth does not complain.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaAs long as you are performing prayer, you are knocking at the door of Allah, and whoever is knocking at the door of Allah, Allah will open it for him.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaWasting time is worse than death, because death separates you from this world whereas wasting time separates you from Allah
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaHad Allah lifted the veil for his slave and shown him how He handles his affairs for him, and how Allah is more keen for the benefit of the slave than his own self, his heart would have melted out of the love for Allah and would have been torn to pieces out of thankfulness to Allah. Therefore if the pains of this world tire you, do not grieve. For it may be that Allah wishes to hear your voice by way of Dua'a. So pour out your desires in prostration and forget about it and know; that verily Allah does not forget it.
Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya
