"The doors of success have been closed upon the creation because of six things: - Their busying themselves with the blessings of Allah instead of thanking Allah for them,
- their desire for knowledge while they abandon actions,
- the hastiness to sin and delaying repentance,
- the deception of having righteous companions and not taking them as examples,
- the turning away of the dunya from them while they chase it,
- and the approach of the afterlife towards them while they turn away from it."
Taken from al-Fawai'd by Ibn Al Qayyim

"
However, keep in mind that you must instruct the people with kindness and mercy. Don’t take this answer and shove it in their faces. Be kind, gentle and patient." -

* Official Member of the Poet Crew * O Allah, Lord of Jibril, Mika'il and Israfil, Creator of the heavens and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, You will judge between Your servants concerning that wherein they differ. Guide me with regard to that wherein there is dispute concerning the truth by Your leave, for You guide whomsoever You will to the straight path.
Oh Allah, I seek refuge in You lest I misguide others, or I am misguided by others, lest I cause others to err or I am caused to err, lest I abuse others or be abused, and lest I behave foolishly or meet with the foolishness of others.
