“Fear your Lord, pray your five prayers, fast the month of Ramadân, pay your Zakâh, and obey your leaders, in doing so, you will enter your Lord‘s Paradise.”

Reported by Sunan at-Tirmidhi, Hadîth no.73

“If the Qur’aan was to be gathered inside a vessel (heart), Allaah will never punishment it with the Hellfire.”

Abu Ya’laa said, ‘I heard Ishaaq ibn Abi Israa’eel say: I heard Ibn ‘Uyaynah say, “If it was said ‘bring out the best of this city’, there would come out people that were unknown.’'

و لا تمشِ فوق الأرض إلا تّواضعاً *** فكَم تحتها قومٌ هم منكَ أرفع
فإن كنت في عز و خير و منعة *** فكم مات من قوم هم منك أمنع

And do not walk upon the earth except in humility
For how many people underneath it are more exalted than you
If you are in glory, goodness and strength
Then how many have died that were more stronger than you

“I read upon the door of a castle in Sind:

I said, ‘What is this?!’ They said, ‘All the people in the castle have died and in the morning this was found written on the door, no-one knows who wrote it.’

“Islaam began as something strange and will return to being strange, as it began”

“As for this, then it does not mean that Islaam will go away, but rather it means that the Ahl-us-Sunnah will go away, up to the point that there will not remain in a land, any from them except one person.”

[From 'The Strangeness of the Sunnah and its Adherents' by al-Hâfidh Ibn Rajab]

When Allah finished with the creation, He wrote in a Book that He has with Him above the Throne, `My mercy prevails over My anger'

Narrated Khabbab bin Al-Arat:


We complained to Allah's Messenger (of the persecution inflicted on us by the infidels) while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah, leaning over his Burd.

We said to him, "Would you seek help for us? Would you pray to Allah for us?"

He said, "Among the nations before you a (believing) man would be put in a ditch that was dug for him, and a saw would be put over his head and he would be cut into two pieces; yet that (torture) would not make him give up his religion. His body would be combed with iron combs that would remove his flesh from the bones and nerves, yet that would not make him abandon his religion. By Allah, this religion will prevail till a traveler from San'a' (in Yemen) to Hadrarmout will fear none but Allah, or a wolf as regards his sheep, but you (people) are hasty."

Sahih al-Bukhari

"This life is not your permanent abode. Allâh has prescribed for it to come to an end and He has prescribed for its people to depart from it. How often has a thriving population been ruined for something insignificant, and how often has a joyful resident been made to depart for something insignificant. So prepare well, may Allâh have mercy on you, for the journey with the best of what you have of preparations, and take provisions, for the best of provisions is Taqwâ."

"The believer is like a stranger. He does not become worried due to being insignificant in it (this life), and he does not compete for honor in it. His condition is one and the people are in another condition. Whenever Allâh created Adam ('Alayhis Salâm), He made him and his wife reside in Paradise. Then he was put out of it, yet was promised to return to it, he and the righteous ones among his offspring. So the believer is always longing for his first homeland..."

"Verily, our Lord 'azawajal laughs at the despair that His servants feel, even though His Help is so close!"

"O Messenger of Allah - may my mother and father be given as your ransom - and does our Lord laugh?"

"Yes!"

"In that case, we will never give up hope of receiving good from a Lord that laughs!"

"The Angels are the Guardians of the Heavens, and the People of Hadeeth are the Guardians of the Earth"

"I hear certain Nukat [interesting pieces of information and comments] from people that fall into my heart, but yet I do not accept them without two witnesses: The Book [of Allah] and the Sunnah"

"No one needs to ask himself about anything except the Qur'an. If he loves the Qur'an, he loves Allah and His Messenger."

"The sign of the love of Allah is love of the Qur'an. The sign of love of the Qur'an is love of the Prophet. The sign of love of the Prophet is love of the sunnah. The sign of love of the sunnah is love of the Next World. The sign of love of the Next World is hatred for this world. The sign of hatred for this world is that you do not store up any of it except for provision and what you need to arrive safely in the Next World."
