Imprisoned is he whose heart is imprisoned from Allรขh. Captured is he who is captured by his desires.
Ibn TaymiyyahIf you correct your hidden deeds subsequently, Allaah will correct your outward deeds.
Ibn TaymiyyahAvoiding the temptation to sin and being patient upon that, is greater than being patient whilst being afflicted with trials.
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
