Re: food for thought

Nobody is really free: either you are a slave of Allāh subhaanahu wata'ala or of your nafs.

Any good that exists in the heart will make its effect apparent,
just as a bottle of musk emits its fragrance.

Knowledge is an ocean that has no coast." So if anyone thinks they know it all, then what they have is something besides knowledge.

Keep swimming! It requires energy, dedication, sacrifice and continuity together with sincerity to acquire knowledge. Without an effort one cannot attain knowledge.

Knowledge wipes the frost off our glass and allows us to see much clearer.

The cycle of knowledge should be to keep on learning, putting into practice and conveying to others.

“If a person is sincere towards Allah in all his affairs, Allah will give him more than He gives to others, and this sincerity results from true love of Allah and true trust in Him. So the most sincere of people is the one who loves Allah most and puts the most trust in Him.”

~Imam Ibn Al-Qayyim (rahimahullah)

Perhaps our fatal flaw is dedicating ourselves to things that will be gone in a flash.....
And our biggest mistake is trying to create a forever out of people who are only meant to be temporary....

There is no doubt that hearts becomes rusty just as copper and silver coins become rusty.

And hearts become rusty due to two things:-(1) neglecting remembering Allaah, and (2) committing sins.

The polish for these two things are: (1) seeking Allaah's forgiveness and (2) dhikr." [ibn al-Qayyim]

The cause of jealousy and ingratitude is that with regards to ourselves, we see only our trials--but not our blessings. But with regards to others, we see only their blessings--but not their trials. -Yasmin Mogahed
