Beautiful Quotes, Proverbs, Sayings

This being human is a guest house.
Every morning a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meaness,
some momentary awareness comes
as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain all!
Even if they're a crowd of sorrows,
who violently sweep your house
empty of its furniture,
still, treat each guest honorably.
He may be clearing you out
for some new delight.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing,
and invite them in.
Be grateful for whomever comes,
because each has been sent
as a guide from beyond.

Jalal ad-Din Rumi

“An act of sadaqah (charity) is like perfume;
It benefits the user, the buyer, and the seller.”

-Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni

Every day the sun rises it calls upon us, O people! I am a new day; I am an observer of your actions. Take advantage of me for I will not return until the Day of Judgment. O son of Adam, you are nothing but a few breaths. Once one breath goes out, part of you goes with it. In the same way that part of you has gone, soon all of you will go."

[Hasan Al-Basri (may Allah have mercy on him)]

If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people happy?

"The best form of speech is that in which a little removes the need to say more, and the meaning is self evident in the words."

Men must have corrupted nature a little, for they are not born wolves, and they have become wolves.
Voltaire.

What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?

Sins need to be burnt!...


Either with the pain of regret in this world

or....


With the fire of hell in the hereafter."

[Ibn. Al-Qayyim]

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
