I'm not sure if there's a place here to share beautiful quotes. But there are so many of them. I'd like to add in a quote or saying on a daily basis.
Here's my first:
A man slips more by his tongue than by his foot!

You only have 2 friends in this Dunya:
1. Allaah
2. Those who remind you of Allaah
"It's only after victory that those who call themselves resistants count in millions. But before, there was only a handful of people ready to sacrifice their lives."
Dieudonné
"The one who is (truly) imprisoned is... the one whose heart is imprisoned from Allah
and the captivated one is... the one whose desires have enslaved him."
[Ibn Taymiyyah]
"Be patient at all times and in all places....
for patience leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise."
"Do not become angry and furious....
for those two emotions lead to wickedness, and wickedness leads to the Hellfire."
-- Sufyan al-Thawri --
"Surely the people nearest to me are al-Muttaqun (those who fear Allah the way He deserves to be feared), whoever and wherever they are."
The Prophet(saw) in a hadith in Musnad Ahmed.
Expecting the world to treat you kindly because you're a good person is like expecting a bull not to charge at you because you're a vegetarian.
One of the Salaf said •► 'If this world does not cry for you (upon departing it), then the Hereafter will not smile for you.'
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّمَاءُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا مُنظَرِينَ
"And the heaven and earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved."
[Surah Ad Dukhan, 44:29]
“Every type of pleasure is enjoyed only once, except for acts of worship, which are enjoyed three times:
✓when you do it,
✓when you remember it, and
✓when you are given the reward for it.” ♥
~‘Abd-Allaah ibn Wahhab
——— Mother Theresa.“People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
… Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
… Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
… Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
… Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
… Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
… Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
… Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
… Give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.”
——— Prophet Muhammad (s) as reported in Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 1325."Do not be people without minds of your own, saying that if others treat you well you will treat them well and that if they do wrong you will do wrong. But (instead) accustom yourselves to do good if people do good and not to do wrong if they do evil.”
——— Prophet Muhammad (s) as reported in Sahih Al-Bukhari, Volume 3, Hadith 857.“He who makes peace between people by inventing good information or saying good things, is not a liar.”
من نمّ لك نمّ عليك,
ومن نقل اليك نقل عنك
Whoever slanders to you about others, will slander about you
And whoever reports to you, will soon report about you
- Imam al-Shafi’ee
