Avoiding the temptation to sin and being patient upon that, is greater than being patient whilst being afflicted with trials.
Ibn TaymiyyahA man will never fear something besides Allah unless it be due to a disease in his heart.
Ibn TaymiyyahWhat can you do with me? My jannah is in my heart! If you take me to jail, I will make zikr of Allah. If you exile me out of my land, I will make takaffur. If you execute me, I would be a shaheed. What can you do with me? Because I am not limited to this dunya. I am living for al-akhira!
Ibn Taymiyyah
