The highest degree of love is Tatayyum (total enthrallment). The lowest degree is 'alaqah (attachment), when the heart is attached to the beloved: then comes sabahah (infatuation), when the heart is poured out: then gharam (passion), when love never leaves the heart: the nashaq (ardent love), and finally tatayyum.
Ibn TaymiyyahSome people have the disease of criticising all the time. They forget the good about others and only mention their faults. They are like flies that avoid the good and pure places and land on the bad and wounds. This is because of the evil within the self and the spoiled nature.
Ibn TaymiyyahThis whole religion revolves around knowing the truth and acting by it, and action must be accompanied by patience.
Ibn TaymiyyahBeautiful leaving (hajr), is to leave without harming, beautiful pardoning is to pardon without rebuking, and beautiful patience is to be patient without complaining.
Ibn TaymiyyahA calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you then a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah
Ibn TaymiyyahWhen someone offends me, I think itโs a gift from Allah (god). He (Allah) is teaching me humility.
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
