Dhikr (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 TaymiyyahWhen someone offends me, I think itโs a gift from Allah (god). He (Allah) is teaching me humility.
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 TaymiyyahAs for the people of Tasawwuf, they affirm the love of Allah, and this is more evident among them than all other issues....the affirmation of the love of Allah is well-known in the speech of their [old] and recent masters, just as it is affirmed in the Holy Qur'an and the Sunnah and in agreement of the ways of the early generation (Salaf)
