I want to post one or two, my first one is a quote from RasoolAllah [saw]:
You will not enter Jannah until you have believed, you have not truly believed until have have love [for Allah[swt] and his Rasool[saw]]
[Saheeh Muslim]
And this one was in my Sig a while back, from a Khutbah by Sheikh Su'ud Shuraim[HA]:
All going towards one lord, All dressed in one cloth all chanting the same slogan, labyk Allah huma labayk labaya laa shareeka laka labayk...
That sounds awesome in arabic :wub:

Khalid bin Waleed: -
"I bring men who seek death more then your men seek life"
and also...
Upon the Roman and Muslim army meeting: -
Roman General: "We know that it is hunger and poverty that have driven you out of your lands. Go back, and we will give each of your men 10 dinars and a cloth, and send a similar amount every year".
Khalid bin Waleed: "Actually, we are a people who drink blood...and it has reached us that there is no tastier blood then Roman blood"

Mm, I've also heard a saying that Abu Bakr said that if his right leg was in Jannah, and his left leg not yet in - he still wouldnt be sure of his salvation.

Put aside your pride,
Set down your arrogance,
and remember your grave.
-Ali bin Abu Talib (radiallahu anhu)
You possess only whatever will not be lost in a ship wreck.
-Imam Ghazali
Fear more the sin when you are out of sight, it is where your witness is also your judge. - Imam 'Ali
Love for God envelopes the heart, it rules the heart and it even spreads over everything.
- Imam Ghazzali
Acquire knowledge, and for acquiring knowledge learn to be calm and clement.
- Caliph Umar
( Insha'allah )
Know that patience, if viewed against one's affairs is like the head to the body. If the head leaves the body the whole body will be spoiled, likewise, if patience leaves, all affairs will be spoiled.
- Caliph Ali
Patience is of two halves, one half is patience, the other half is thanking God.
- Ibn Masud
The person I like most is the one who points out my defects.
- Caliph Umar
Once upon a time,a man came to Imam Shafi'i and asked him "How do you manage to have such perfect character all the time?"
Imam shafi'i replied "i take my critics seriously"
This life is not real. I conquered the world and it did not bring me satisfaction.
-Muhammad Ali
When a man committeth adultery, Iman (Faith) leaveth him; but when he leaveth such evil ways, Iman wil return to him.
Your smiling in your brother's face is charity; and your exhorting man to virtuous deeds is charity; and your prohibiting the forbidden is charity; and your showing men the road, in the land in which they lose it, is charity; and your assisting the blind is charity.
- Prophet Muhammed S.A.W
The eye of the heart, though closed in fallen man, is able to take in a glimmering of light and this is faith. But anway of living causes a covering like rust to accumulate over the heart so that it cannot sense the Divine origin of God's message.
- Martin Lings (Abu Bakr Sirajuddin)
A man cannot be a Muslim till his heart and tongue are so.
- Prophet Muhammed s.a.w
(which reminds me of something Imam Abu Hanifa once said,..that a person needs to accept islam with 2 vital organs inorder to be a muslim,..the first being his tongue,and the 2nd being his heart..)
(..not his exact words,but something along the lines of that)
Does money upset the hearts of learned men?
He answered, "men whose hearts are changed by money are not learned"
- Abu Hamid Al Ghazali
The Righteous Salaf were as fearful of their good deeds being squandered, or not being accepted, as the present generation is certain that their neglect would be forgiven.
-Hasan alBasri
Has not the Prophet of Islam, peace and blessings be upon him, warned us to : “Beware of the supplication of the oppressed, even if he is a disbeliever, for there is no veil (separating his supplication from God)”
- Tariq Ramadan (Quoting Prophet Muhammed pbuh)
Lie to a liar, for lies are his coin; Steal from a thief, for that is easy; lay a trap for a trickster and catch him at first attempt; but beware of an honest man.
-Arabian proverb
He is not of me who, when he speaketh, speaketh falsely; who, when he promiseth, breaketh his promises; and who, when trust is reposed in him, faileth in his trust. - Prophet Muhammed s.a.w
(Btw, Iqqypoo, no prob's ;) )
Can anyone walk through water without wetting his feet? The companions replied, "No;" Muhammad said, "Such is the condition of those of the world; they are not safe from sins."
A sincere repenter of faults is like him who hath committed none.
"There is no place in my religon for a man who has had mercy removed from his heart" - Prophet Muhammed S.A.W
Now THAT is something we should all keep in mind.
Subhan'allah, looking around this forum today, i can point out dozens of people whom Muhammed s.a.w has described in that saying.
Aud'billah.
May God bless the man who says less and does more.
-Omar ibn Khattab (r.a.)
If God brings you to it,
He will bring you through it.
In Happy moments, praise God.
In Difficult moments, seek God.
In Quiet moments, worship God.
In Painful moments, trust God.
In Every moment, thank God.

My son, when you pray do it like a person who is bidding farewell to this world, and don't assume you will have another chance to pray again.
My son, know that a beliver dies in between two deeds, one he offers for today, where he will gain immidiate blessings, and the second deed is what he offers towards the day of resurrection, and that is where he will gain the ultimate benefits.

Meet people in shuch a manner that if you die,
they should weep for you,
and if you live,
they should long for you.

I think that really is a very good piece of advice to take to heart!!
You say you are just a body, but inside of you is something greater than the Universe.
- Imam Shaf'
True devotion is for itself:
not to desire heaven
nor to fear hell.
- Rabia al-Adawyyia
I hope you liked them. :)

Some Islamic Quotations
Whoever proposes to the world, then the world would not be satisfied until he gave up his Deen as dowry. [Malik bin Dinar]
Death---the last sleep? No, it is the final awakening.
Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.
The best of which that gives life to the heart is the recitation of the Quran when accompanied with deep reflection. [Shaykh Fadl]
Remembrance of the people is a disease, and the remembrance of Allah is the cure. Yet how strange it is that we hasten to the disease and not to the cure!
Know that it is with ilm (knowledge) that you must speak, and that it is with hilm (forbearance) that you must remain silent. [Ali radi Allah anhu]
Every drop of sweat and every breath we take in life, if not taken for the sake of Allah, will lead to regret and sorrow on the Day of Judgment.
If you want to talk to Allah, perform Salah. If you want Allah to talk to you, read Qur'an.
"How good is life in this world for a believer because he uses it to prepare his provisions for Paradise. And how evil it is for a disbeliever who uses it to prepare his provisions for Hell."
"What you love to have with you in the Hereafter you should advance today, and what you hate to have with you, you should abandon today."
Knowledge is my Principal Possession
Reason is the root of my Fate
Longing is my Mentor
Remembrance of Allah is my Weapon
Patience is my Attire
Contentment is my Prize
Poverty is my Honor
Abstinence is my Calling
Obedience is my Measure
Striving is my Character
Prayer is my Pleasure
:wasalamex
P.S. Feel free to add more to the list :D
