How many of us would be able to overcome our desires and resist the temptation of sin? How many of us even lower our gaze when we look upon something that we are not supposed to? The real prisoner is the one whose heart has been kept away from remembering his Lord, and the real captive is the one who has been captivated by his whims and desires.
Ibn TaymiyyahA man will never fear something besides Allah unless it be due to a disease in his heart.
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 TaymiyyahRemembrance is to the heart what water is to the fish. And what is the state of a fish that leaves water?
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 Taymiyyah
