Losing time is harder than death, as losing time keeps you away from Allah and the Hereafter, while death keeps you away from the worldly life and people.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaEvery gulp of air that goes out in a cause other than the cause of Allah will turn to sorrow and regret on the Day of Judgement.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaIbn Taymiyyah lived poorly. He was imprisoned and threatened. But I have never seen anyone as happy as him.
Ibn Qayyim Al-JawziyyaAnd verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.
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
