A man came to Al-Hasan Al-Basri and said:

“I heard you say that if you commit sins, then Allāh prevents you from things. I do all the sins that you can think of and don’t do many good deeds. I have a beautiful wife and beautiful kids and a lot of money and land and am successful. Allāh did not prevent me from anything. How is it that you say that because of sins Allāh prevents you?”

He said:

“Do you pray qiyām’l-layl? Do you enjoy your du’ā’? Do you enjoy your ṣalāh? That is enough prevention that He prevented you from communicating with Him.”

A remarkable quote from a confident Muslim Woman

Nobel Peace Prize winner "Tawakkul Karman," 'The mother of Yemen's revolution,' when asked about her Hijab by journalists and how it is not proportionate with her level of intellect and education, replied:

“Man in early times was almost naked, and as his intellect evolved he started wearing clothes. What I am today and what I’m wearing represents the highest level of thought and civilization that man has achieved, and is not regressive. It’s the removal of clothes again that is a regression back to the ancient times.''

I hope and pray that Muslims all around the world will take pride in and follow their divinely guided culture, tradition and way of life.

everything He does, is about you. Thus Which is

These are a few from my favorite poems by Nizar Qabbani :

"Our enemies did not cross our borders
They crept through our weaknesses like ants."

"Our shouting is louder than our actions,
Our swords are taller than us,
This is our tragedy."

---

"In a flash,
You changed me from a poet who wrote love poems
To a poet who writes with a knife."

---

My son places his paint box in front of me
and asks me to draw a bird for him.
Into the color gray I dip the brush
and draw a square with locks and bars.
Astonishment fills his eyes:
'… But this is a prison, Father,
Don't you know, how to draw a bird?'
And I tell him: 'Son, forgive me.
I've forgotten the shapes of birds.'

---

"You killed a thousand women inside me,
and became the queen."

---

The following are from a book called "Al Fawaid--A Collection of Sayings by Ibn Al Qayyim (radhiallah 'anhu)"

The worldly life is like a carrion, and indeed the lion hesitates to seize it.

---

To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, yet He asks a loan from you (i.e. giving charity), but you are stingy.
He created the Seven Seas, but He loved a tear from you (out of fear from him), but your eyes were tearless.

O you who evaluate matters, do you know the value of yourself? The UNIVERSE was created for your sake.

You CAN'T change WHAT you DID in the PAST, but you CAN change WHAT you DO and HOW you ARE, in the FUTURE

Hadith - Reported by at-Tirmidhi (9/183,184) in az-Zuhd, Ahmad (2/310), Ibn Maajah (4217) in az-Zuhd with this meaning - Al-Albaani says it is Hasan.

The Messenger of Allah [sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam] said,


"Abstain from the forbidden and you will be the most devout worshippers amongst the people.

Be content with what Allah allocates for you from provision and you will be the richest of people.

Be good to your neighbor and you will be a believer.

Love for the people what you love for yourself and you will be a Muslim,

and do not increase in laughter because too much laughter kills the heart. “

Greetings and peace be with you all, a troubling prayer....

May God bless us with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, superficial relationships, so that we may live deep within our hearts.

May God bless us with anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people so that we may work for justice, equality and peace.

May God bless us with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation and war, so that we may reach out our hand to comfort them and change their pain into joy.

And may God bless us with enough foolishness to believe that we can make a difference in the world, so that we can do what others claim cannot be done, to bring justice and kindness to all.

Amen

Time will not wait for us no matter how healthy or wealthy we are.

People far healthier than us and wealthier have passed on and time is still ticking.

So never allow yourself to be deceived by your wealth or health.

Use your time wisely and be charitable.

Remember that every moment that goes by will never return so make the most of it.

Inform Him of what is in your heart but know that He Knows. He Knew what was, what is, and what will be, in this universe and in those chambers of your heart, those paths through your soul. But call out to Him and beseech Him because just as you love to be heard, He loves to be called. Just as you love to be given, He loves to be asked. Just as you love to be forgiven, He loves to grant you that forgiveness. He is your Lord, Maker, and Protector, and He is close to you. Know Him and strengthen your bond and connection with Him because nobody, absolutely nobody will be there for you as much as He is there and will always be there…

"There are a lot of people who just want to get into an argument with you – its social pathology.
People without self-knowledge, any critical introspection where they have to look at themselves, think about their behaviour and how they are responding.


The Quraan is a mirror – it holds itself up to humanity and says find yourself in there!
Because I guarantee you – you are in there.
You might be pharaoh, you might be Haman, you might be Qaroon, you might be Aasiyah…..you might be the abused wife in a bad relationship.

You may find an amalgam – I have a little bit of this or that.

يقول الخليل بن أحمد : الناس أربعة: رجل يدري ويدري أنه يدري، والثاني: يدري ولا يدري أنه يدري، والثالث: لا يدري ويدري أنه لا يدري، والرابع لا يدري ولا يدري أنه لا يدري، يقول: هذه أقسام الناس.

فأما الأول قال: فهو عالم فاسألوه،.
أما الثاني: فغافل فنبهوه،.
أما الثالث: فهذا جاهل فعلموه، إنسان مسكين يقول: أنا ليس عندي علموني ما عندي شيء،.

وأما الرابع: فهو الطامة الكبرى والمصيبة الدهياء: وهو الذي لا يدري ولا يدري أنه لا يدري، وهو الجاهل المركب، يقال له: أنت جاهل، قال: أنا جاهل؟! بل أنا عالم من العلماء

Khalil Ibn Ahmad said, People are four types: A man who is knowledgeable and aware of his knowledge, the second is knowledgeable but is unaware of his knowledge, the third, is not knowledgeable and is aware of his lack of knowledge, and the fourth has no knowledge and isn't aware that he has no Knowledge.

Of the first Man, he's a scholar so consult him!

The second is incognizant so make him aware!

The Third man is ignorant so teach him!

The fourth is the greatest calamity, for there's nothing that can be done for him except to avoid him for when he's told you're of the ignorant, he says but I am a scholar.

Hazrat Ali RA has said:
Knowledge of deen is better than wealth. Your knowledge protects you, whereas you have to protect wealth. By spending (teaching) your knowledge and practising on it, it increases whereas by spending your wealth it decreases.

Knowledge makes you a ruler whereas a person who accumulates wealth is ruled by it.

A person of knowledge love is deen which is a means of reward. Knowledge bears this fruit to an alim that he is followed and obeyed during his lifetime and is remembered with reverence after his death.

A person who accumulates wealth only remains till he is alive and he is forgotten after he dies whereas an alim remains forever.

The aalims body may be buried but his memory remains in the hearts of people.

Imaam Ibn Qayyim (rahimahu-Allaah) said:

“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 (adhkar), and for the devoted Muslim it is time for turning to Allaah 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.”

And teach me that forgiveness is one of the greatest steps towards strength...

O GOD , do not curse me with arrogance should I be successful...
And neither with despair and hopelessness should I fail...

O GOD, remind me always that failure is the trial that precedes success....
Should You take away my wealth, do let me keep my hopefulness...
And should I fail, do let me keep the power of determination...
And should You take away the blessing of good health do let me keep the blessing of faith...

O GOD , should I have harmed others give the courage to apologise...
And should others harm me, do bless me with the courage to forgive...
And should I forget You Ya ALLAH I beg that You should not exclude me from Your compassion and clemency...

Be grateful no matter what the calamities are. Remember, miracles can happen in seconds, only when Allah wills it. It can happen today, maybe tomorrow and maybe it will happen some other day. Allah says: give the glad tidings to the patients. So, be among the patient and help is just round the corner!" ♥

“The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books - a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.”
