"In your greatest darkness, you have more light in you than you can possibly realize.
When you feel hated, you have more love in you than you can possibly imagine.
When you feel stupid, you have more wisdom in you than you would ever know what to do with.
When you are in doubt, you have more clarity in you than you could ever fathom."
Prem Rawat
"Look in you. Look in your heart.
And you will find the truest essence of your existence.
The holiest of all scriptures that ever will be,
will be in the temple of your heart."
Prem Rawat
"Man's fear of Allah is equal to his knowledge of Him and his renunciation of worldly pleasures is equal to his desire in the Hereafter." - Fudayl bin `Iyyad (Rahimahullah)
It is pointless to watch other people's houses crumbling when our own house is in need of repair and attention.
Said one of the zuhhåd: "I can never imagine that someone could hear about Paradise and Hellfire and can still waste an hour without performing any act of obedience to Allaah; neither remembrance, prayer, reciting Quraan nor an act of charity or kindness.”
Someone said to him: "I weep profusely."
He replied: “That you laugh while confessing your sin is better than weeping yet being puffed-up with pride because of your deeds. For the deeds of a conceited person will never rise above his head.”
The person then requested: "Please counsel me."
So he replied: “Leave the world to those who hanker after it, as they leave the Afterlife to its seekers. And be in this world as the bee: it eats only good, produces only good, and when it rests upon anything it neither ruins it nor deflowers it.”
Al Fawaa-id, Ibn al Qayyim al Jawziyyah (rahimahullaah), Pg.187

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.
Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness
cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that"
- Martin Luther King Jr.
If you begin to live life relating to the God who is all around you, every moment becomes a prayer.
I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy.

cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that"

Beautiful quote. Jazakallah khair.

“I never saw a better admonisher than the grave, or anything more satisfying than a book, or anything safer than lack of socialization.” - ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abd al-’Aziz bin ‘Umar bin ‘Abd al-’Aziz

Never do i argue with a man with a desire to hear him say what is wrong, or to expose him and win victory over him. When ever i face an opponent in debate I silently pray :-
"O Lord, help me so that truth may flow from his heart and on his tongue and so that if truth is on my side, he may follow me; and if truth be on his side may I follow him."
- Imam Ash-Shafi (Rahimullah)

Some people worship Allah for the purpose of gaining His gifts: this is the worship of the merchants.
Some worship Him for the purpose of avoiding His punishment: this is the worship of the slaves.
Some worship Him to show gratitude to Him: this is the worship of the genuine ones - it is the best worship.
Hussain ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (ra)
