A man will never fear something besides Allah unless it be due to a disease in his heart.
Ibn TaymiyyahWhat can my enemies do to me? My paradise is in my heart, it is with me wherever I go. To imprison me is to provide me with seclusion. To send me into exile is to send me away in the Path of Allah. And to kill me is to make me a martyr.
Ibn TaymiyyahThe disease that knowledge brings is arrogance, and the disease that worship brings is showing off
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 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 Taymiyyah
