Guidance is not attained except with knowledge and correct direction is not attained except with patience.
Ibn TaymiyyahThe 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 TaymiyyahDhikr (remembrance of Allah) is to the heart as water is to a fish; see what happens to a fish when it is taken out of water
Ibn TaymiyyahIn this world there is a paradise, whoever does not enter it will not enter the Paradise of the Hereafter.
