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 TaymiyyahNo love that a man has will only give him pleasure in return- he shall also suffer pain because of it, except for love of Allah.
Ibn TaymiyyahThe People of the Sunnah are the most knowledgeable of mankind concerning the truth, and the most merciful of the creation towards the rest of creation.
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.
