"Aye Insaan! Tu jitna chahe gunah kar. Agar Allah ta'ala isee zindagi ko jahannum na bana de to dekh lena."
Translation:
"O Man! Commit as many sins as you wish and then see whether Allah turns this life of yours into a living Hell or not!" Mufti Muhammad Shafi (rah)
I might read a hundred interpretations of one verse, but would still ask Allaah's guidance in its comprehension saying, 'Oh teacher of Aadam and lbraaheem teach me!' I would also go to the deserted masjids and ask Allah, 'Oh teacher of lbraaheem! Make me comprehend.'
When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow, I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness, as an opening and an escape. My sins seemed very great to me, but when I compared them to Your forgiveness My Lord, I found Your forgiveness to be greater.”
"O son of Adam, how is your heart ever going to be softened by the recitation of Qur'an when all you read for is to reach the end of the surah"
Al Hassan Al Basri

Profound words... We should recite the Qur'an just as it deserves to be recited by reciting in a clear, beautiful tone and pondering over its meanings.
When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow, I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness, as an opening and an escape. My sins seemed very great to me, but when I compared them to Your forgiveness My Lord, I found Your forgiveness to be greater.”
[Imam ash Shafi’ee, rahimahuAllah]

Agarche but hain jamaat ki aasteenon mein,

(Even) if there be idols (hidden) in the sleeves of the people,
I have been commanded to proclaim the call to Prayer.....

For indeed, the pleasure of the wise scholars is in their intellects, and the pleasure of the ignoramuses and beasts is in their desires.
Al Harith al-Muhaasibi (rah)
"If you see that your heart is becoming hard and your body is becoming weak and your provision is decreasing, know that you are involved in that which doesn't concern you."
Malik bin Dinar
"If a man's patience is stronger than his whims and desires, then he is like an angel, but if his whims and desires are stronger than his patience, then he is like a devil. If his desire for food, drink and sex is stronger than his patience, then he is no better than an animal"
Ibn Qayyim Al Jawziyyah
To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.
William Blake.
