The heart will rest and feel relief if it is settled with Allah and it will worry and be anxious if it is settled with people. - Ibn Qayyim

"Mans way lead to a hopeless end...
Allahs way leads to an endless hope..."

"My servants, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Merciful." (Surat az-Zumar: 53)

“For instance, if a man ceases to take any concern in worldly matters, conceives a distaste for common pleaures, and appears sunk in depression, the doctor will say, “This is a case of melancholy, and requires such and such prescription. The physicist will say, “This is a dryness of the brain caused by hot weather and cannot be relieved till the air becomes moist.” The astrologer will attribute it to some particular conjunction or opposition of plantes. “Thus far their wisdom reaches,” says the Koran. It does not occur to them that what has really happened is this: that the Almighty has a concern for the welfare of that man, and has therefore commanded His servants, the planets or the elements, to produce such a condition in him that he may turn away from the world to his Maker.The knowledge of this fact is a lustrous pearl from the ocean of inspirational knowledge, to which all other forms of knowldge are as islands in the sea.”

-The Alchemy of Happiness, Imam Al-Ghazali

While you are reading this sentence, thousands of chemicals react in your eyes. Each of them, much more complex then you can imagine.More complex then the screen you are gazing at. Of course a Hi-Tech company built your screen, then who built your eyes?

“The servant exists between the Hands of Allah at two times- while standing during performing prayer, and while standing on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever fulfills the rights of the first standing, will in fact be facilitating the second one. And whoever considers this easy and does not pay due attention to it, he will be making the other one difficult for himself.” 'Ibn Al Qayyim

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow.The shadow is what we think of it, but the tree is the real thing.

This saying just blew me away...... I'm therefore hastening to share it with you. Here it is:

"Indeed mankind, all of them, are destroyed except those with knowledge and all those with knowledge are destroyed except those who act upon it and all those who act are destroyed except those who are sincere in their action and all those who are sincere are in great danger (of associating other than Allaah in their actions)."
[Mukhtasir Minhaaj il- Qaasideen of Ibn Qudaamah al-Maqdisee] :scared:

-----------------
This reminded me of the hadith of the Prophet (saws) who said if we knew what he knew we would weep much and laugh little.

May Allah make us among the sincere and dedicate all of our actions solely and only for Him alone, with no partner. Ameen.

"If a man seeks knowledge, it will appear in his face, hands an tongue and in his humility to Allah." - Hassan Al-Basri

Arguement gives confusion, Discussion gives solution.

--Yours truely

“Do not resent the calamities that come and the disasters that occur; perhaps in something that you dislike will be your salvation, and perhaps in something that you prefer will be your doom.”- Hassan al Basri

If we were to wake up some morning and find that

everyone was the same race, creed and color,

we would find some other cause for prejudice by noon.

Not to drown us, but to cleanse us.”
