And verily for everything that a slave loses there is a substitute, but the one who loses Allah will never find anything to replace Him.” [Related by Ibn al-Qayyim in ad-Dâ' wad-Dawâ Fasl 49]
Bukhari Volumn 007, Book 071, Hadith Number 606.
-----------------------------------------
Narated By Ibn 'Abbas : Allah's Apostle said, 'Nations were displayed before me; one or two prophets would pass by along with a few followers. A prophet would pass by accompanied by nobody. Then a big crowd of people passed in front of me and I asked, Who are they Are they my followers?" It was said, 'No. It is Moses and his followers It was said to me, 'Look at the horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people filling the horizon.
Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about the stretching sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the horizon,' It was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom seventy thousand shall enter Paradise without reckoning.' "Then the Prophet entered his house without telling his companions who they (the 70,000) were.
So the people started talking about the issue and said, "It is we who have believed in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those people are either ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance.'' When the Prophet heard of that, he came out and said. "Those people are those who do not ask to be treated with Ruqya[*], nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds etc.) nor do they get themselves branded (Cauterised). but they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that 'Ukasha bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of them, O Allah's Apostle?' The Prophet said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am I one of them?" The Prophet said, 'Ukasha has anticipated you."

[*] Ruqya is to treat/protect ourselves against illness and evils with dhikr from Quran and sunnah. It's recommanded that one should learn to make ruqya by himself and address Allah directly, and not ask others to make ruqya for him, although it's permissible.

"O you who believe! Fear ALLAH as He should be feared" [aal 'Imraan, 102]
"If [a person going through a calamity] looks at what has befallen him, he will find that what his Lord has left for him is similar to it or better than it; and if he is patient and accepts it, He has stored up for him something that is many times greater than what he has lost through this calamity; and if He willed, He could have made the calamity even greater.— Ibn al-Qayyim
“I heard you say that if you commit sins, then Allāh prevents you from things. I do all the sins that you can think of and don’t do many good deeds. I have a beautiful wife and beautiful kids and a lot of money and land and am successful. Allāh did not prevent me from anything. How is it that you say that because of sins Allāh prevents you?”
He said:
“Do you pray qiyām’l-layl? Do you enjoy your du’ā’? Do you enjoy your ṣalāh? That is enough prevention that He prevented you from communicating with Him.”
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her. :sunny: George Washington.
"Never Make Permanent Decisions Based On Temporary Feelings."

"A Powerful Person Is Not He Who Outwrestles Others. A Powerful Person Is He Who Controls Himself When Angry."
[The Messenger Muhammad Sallallaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam]
'''Allah's generosity is connected to gratitude, and gratitude is linked to increase in His generosity. The generosity of Allah will not stop increasing unless the gratitude of the servant ceases.'''
