I heard Shaykhul-Islaam ibn Taymiyyah (may Allaah have mercy on him) say,
"Allaah revealed to Ibraaheem (alayhissalam), "Do you know why I took you as a close friend?" He said, "No." So Allaah said, "It is because I see that giving is more beloved to you than receiving."
(Ibn al-Qayyim الوابل الصيب pg. 35)

"When Allah granted Prophet Yoosuf (`alayhis-Salaam) physical beauty it caused him to be locked up in the prison; but when Allah granted him knowledge (when he interpreted the dream of the king) it not only took him out of prison, but elevated his rank in society, clearly showing us the virtue of knowledge and that physical beauty does not mean anything."
Ibn al Qayyim [Al-‘Ilm wa Fadhluhu wa Sharafuhu p. 32].
Taqwa is to obey Allah, so that He is not disobeyed, to remember Allah, so that He is not forgotten, and to thank Allah, so that no ingratitude is shown to Him - Abdullah bin Mas’ud

Four people I could not repay back:
1. A man that greeted me first with Salam;
2. A man who made space for me in the Majlis [to sit];
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.
- Ibn Abbas (Wafiyaat al-A'yaan 3/63)

It was narrated from Thabit that Anas said:
"We were with Abu Moosa on a journey, and the people were talking and mentioning worldly matters. Abu Moosa said:
'0 Anas, these people are talking too much. Come, let us remember our Lord for a while.' Then he said: 'What slowed the people down (in pursuing matters of the hereafter)?' I said: 'Worldly matters, Satan and whims and desires.' He said:
'No, it is the fact that this world is close, and they can see it, while the hereafter is hidden from them. By Allah, if they could see it with their own eyes, they would not drift or turn away from it."'
- Tafseer al Qurtubi under the tafseer of verse 16 of Surat Al-'A'la
Christians very rarely talk about the Fear of Allah ta'ala, but the Old testament does make one very Important point concerning it,
Proverbs 9:10

"The Fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding."

To get what you love, you must first be patient with what you hate. [Imam Al-Ghazali]
Umar ibn al-Khattab :ra: said:Hasibu anfusakum Qabla antuhasabu “Bring yourself to account before you are taken to account.” And ‘Umar added: Wazinu anfusakum Qabla antuzanu “Weigh your deeds before your deeds are weighed.”
Subhanallah, if we only implemented this!
