"The question is not whether you will leave this world or not, "
the question is, what will you leave behind you.
Will people ask ALLAH for your forgiveness,
or will they ask ALLAH to forgive them for knowing you."
“Regret for wasted time should be deep, for time passes quickly and it is difficult to make up what you have missed. Time for the worshiper is a time for worship and reciting awraad (azkar), and for the devoted Muslim it is time for turning to Allah عز و جل and focusing on Him سبحانه وتعالى with all his heart.
Time is the dearest thing to him and he would feel very sad if time passes without him doing what he is meant to do. If he misses time, he can never make it up, because a second time has its own duties. So if he misses time, there is no way he can bring it back.”
“O feet of patience, keep going, for what remains is only a little. Remember the sweetness of worship, then the bitterness of striving will become easier for you.”— Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah
"If men spoke to their wives as politely as they spoke to strange women, and women spoke to their husbands as gently and kindly as they spoke to their sons, then our marriages would surely last."
Sincerity is a secret between Allah and His servant which not even the angels know so as to record it, nor does satan know so as to corrupt it, nor is the desire aware so as to influence it.”
Al-Hasan al-Basree, raHimahullaah, said:
"Whoever learns something in the name of Allaah, seeking that which is with Him, he will win. And whoever learns something for other than Allaah, he will not reach the goal, nor will his acquired knowledge bring him closer to Allaah."
Sufyaan Ath-Thawree, raHimahullaah, said: "The excellence of knowledge is due only to the fact that it causes a person to fear and obey Allaah, otherwise it is just like anything else." [Related by ibn Rajab]
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said:
❝Sins generate more sins, and one leads to another, until they overpower a man and he finds it difficult to repent from that.❞
As one of the earlier generation said: One of the punishments of bad deeds is more bad deeds, and one of the rewards of good deeds is more good deeds.
"The soul will never become pious and purified except through undergoing afflictions. It is the same as gold that can never be pure except after removing all the base metals in it."
