They made effort at purification and became Shaykh Junaid Baghdadi and Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani.

Four people I could not repay back:

3. A man whose foot walked with me to fulfill a need I have;

As for the fourth, no one can repay him back except Allah, Exalted and Glorified is He.

4. A man, who some trouble afflicted him, so he spent the night thinking of who he can ask for assistance, then he found me worth of that honour, so he asked me for assistance in it.

In the case of any person whose judgment is really deserving of confidence, how has it become so? Because he has kept his mind open to criticism of his opinions and conduct. Because it has been his practice to listen to all that could be said against him; to profit by as much of it as was just, and expound to himself, and upon occasion to others, the fallacy of what was fallacious. Because he has felt, that the only way in which a human being can make some approach to knowing the whole of a subject, is by hearing what can be said about it by persons of every variety of opinion, and studying all modes in which it can be looked at by every character of mind. No wise man ever acquired his wisdom in any mode but this; nor is it in the nature of human intellect to become wise in any other manner.

Whoever reads history, depression never enters his heart, and he will see that the worldly life is just days that Allah circulates among people: the rich become poor, and the poor turn around and become rich.

Then a portion of the Children of Israel believed, and a portion disbelieved. But We gave power to those who believed, against their enemies, and they became the ones that prevailed" (61:14)

Abu Na’eem reported: Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “Nothing benefits a man after faith in Allah as much as a wife with good character, loving and fertile. Nothing harms a man after unbelief in Allah as much as a wife with evil character and a sharp tongue.”

Al-Qurtubi reported: Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, heard a man saying, “O Allah, make me among the few.” Umar said, “What is this supplication?” The man said, “I refer to the saying of Allah the Exalted: And few of My servants are grateful.” (34:13) Umar said, “All of the people know better than you, O Umar!”

[Muslim10]

Umar once said to the unbelievers (more or less), around the time when he accepted Islam and made it public:

"we will kill you when our number become 300".

[Muslim10]

Ibn Mas'ud once said:

"what a rare man, Umar Ibn Al Khattab".

[Muslim10]

Khalid, the lion of Allah on an expedition sent a letter to Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), and he (Muhammad, peace be upon him and his family) was in Madina.

Part of the letter of Khalid to Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family) was:

"I thank Allah for thee".

[Muslim10]

"You are effeminate ones."

Ali, k.

[popsthebuilder]

5:48. And We have revealed to you this perfect Book comprising the truth and wisdom, fulfilling (the prophecies of) the Scripture which was present before it and stands as a guardian over it, then judge between them according to that which Allâh has revealed (of the Qur’ân), and do not deviate from the truth that has come to you in order to follow their low desires. For each one of you did We prescribe a spiritual law and a well-defined way (- a code in secular matters). And if Allâh had so willed He might have made you all one community (by force), but He wishes to show your perfection (the capacities and capabilities) that He has endowed you with. Therefore vie one with another in (doing) good deeds. To Allâh is the return of you all, then He will inform you as to that wherein you were at variance.

[popsthebuilder]

5:51. O you who believe! Do not take those particular (type of) Jews and Christians (who are enemies of Islam) for allies. They are allies of one to another (when against you), and whoso from amongst you takes them for allies, is indeed one of them. Verily, Allâh does not guide the unjust people to attain their goal.

[Muslim10]

"You are effeminate ones."

Ali, k.

I made a mistake. This was a saying of Abd Al Qadir Jilani (Rahmatullah Alayh, Alayhi Salam), to people, comparing them to the COmpanions ("you are effeminate ones compared to them").


Ali said something like: "I see none (of you) who is like them (the Companions)".



Note: Abd Al Qadir Jilani emphasized, like all saints of Islam, the love of God. The Qur'an says, "Follow the way of those who come to Me in love".
ALi(k) was young during the time Muhammad(peace be upon him and his family) lived. He lived long after Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family).

[Muslim10]

How about a quote from Allah Almighty ?


He told one day His beloved, Muhammad (peace be upon him and his family), more or less:

"when I love someone, I become his eyes with which he sees, his ears with which he hears, his hands with which he grasps and his feet with which he walks...if he asks something of Me, I will surely grant it to him."

Seek this in Bukhari.

There has been interpretations, but an interpretation is an interpretation, just like a Tafsir is a Tafsir, Tafsirs are different from a scholar to another scholar, and so on and so on....And some sayings of Allah and Verses of QUr'an and Hadiths are very obvious; not needing interpretations, being very obvious in meanings.

[amal01]

My favorite by far is : 'If you come to Allah walking, He will meet you rushing' - the praise just encapsulates all of Allah's immense mercy, His love and peace, all of which we can only begin to comprehend and yet He meets us rushing each and every time

Ye who have done good shall wait for those days till an end is made of those who work evil; and an end of the might of the transgressors. 3. And wait ye indeed till sin has passed away, for their names shall be blotted out of the book of life and out of the holy books, and their seed shall be destroyed for ever, and their spirits shall be slain, and they shall cry and make lamentation in a place that is a chaotic wilderness, and*in the fire shall they burn; for there is no earth there. 4. And I saw there something like an invisible cloud; for by reason of its depth I could not look over, and I saw a flame of fire blazing brightly, and things like shining mountains circling and sweeping to and fro. 5. And I asked one of the holy angels who was with me and said unto him: 'What is this shining thing? for it is not a heaven but only the flame of a blazing fire, and the voice of weeping and crying and lamentation and strong pain.' 6. And he said unto me: 'This place which thou seest--here are cast the spirits of sinners and blasphemers, and of those who work wickedness, and of those who pervert everything that the Lord hath spoken through the mouth of the prophets--(even) the things that shall be. 7. For some of them are written and

p. 154

inscribed above in the heaven, in order that the angels may read them and know that which shall befall the sinners, and the spirits of the humble, and of those who have afflicted their bodies, and been recompensed by God; and of those who have been put to shame by wicked men: 8. Who love God and loved neither gold nor silver nor any of the good things which are in the world, but gave over their bodies to torture. 9. Who, since they came into being, longed not after earthly food, but regarded everything as a passing breath, and lived accordingly, and the Lord tried them much, and their spirits were found pure so that they should bless His name. 10. And all the blessings destined for them I have recounted in the books. And he hath assigned them their recompense, because they have been found to be such as loved heaven more than their life in the world, and though they were trodden under foot of wicked men, and experienced abuse and reviling from them and were put to shame, yet they blessed Me. 11. And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who in the flesh were not recompensed with such honour as their faithfulness deserved. 12. And I will bring forth in shining light those who have loved My holy name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honour. 13. And they shall be resplendent for times without number; for righteousness is the judgement of God; for to the faithful He will give faithfulness in the habitation of upright paths. 14. And they shall see those who were, born in darkness led into darkness, while the righteous shall be resplendent. 15. And the sinners shall cry aloud and see them resplendent, and they indeed will go where days and seasons are prescribed for them.'
