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 TaymiyyahSins are like chains and locks preventing their perpetrator from roaming the vast garden of Tawheed and reaping the fruits of righteous actions.
Ibn TaymiyyahA believer to another believer is like two hands, one washes the other (correcting each other).
Ibn TaymiyyahAvoiding the temptation to sin and being patient upon that, is greater than being patient whilst being afflicted with trials.
Ibn TaymiyyahSome people have the disease of criticising all the time. They forget the good about others and only mention their faults. They are like flies that avoid the good and pure places and land on the bad and wounds. This is because of the evil within the self and the spoiled nature.
Ibn TaymiyyahWhat can you do with me? My jannah is in my heart! If you take me to jail, I will make zikr of Allah. If you exile me out of my land, I will make takaffur. If you execute me, I would be a shaheed. What can you do with me? Because I am not limited to this dunya. I am living for al-akhira!
Ibn Taymiyyah
