Verily, I constantly renew my Islam until this very day, as up to now, I do not consider myself to have ever been a good Muslim.
Ibn TaymiyyahImprisoned is he whose heart is imprisoned from Allรขh. Captured is he who is captured by his desires.
Ibn TaymiyyahHow 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 TaymiyyahGuidance is not attained except with knowledge and correct direction is not attained except with patience.
Ibn TaymiyyahIndeed, the term body (jism), organs ('arad), extent (mutahayyiz) and their like are all newly-invented terminologies. We have mentioned many a time before that the Salaf and the Imaams have not spoken about such things, neither by way of a negation nor by way of affirmation. Rather, they declared those who spoke about such matters to be innovators and went to great lengths to censure them.
