The perfection of Tawheed is found when there remains nothing in the heart except Allaah
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaDoom comes about because of neglecting to evaluate one's self and because of just following one's whims.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaIf you wish to check how much you love Allah, then see how much your heart loves the Quran, and you will know the answer.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaThe heart becomes sick, as the body becomes sick, and its remedy is al-Tawbah (repentance) and protection [from transgression]. It becomes rusty as a mirror becomes rusty, and its clarity is obtained by remembrance. It becomes naked as the body becomes naked, and its beautification is al-Taqwa. It becomes hungry and thirsty as the body becomes hungry, and its food and drink are knowledge, love, dependence, repentance and servitude.
