“The believer in this world is like a stranger: he does not become upset when it puts him down, and he does not compete for it to make him honorable. The people are in a certain state, and he is in another state: the people are relieved of him, and he is exhausted of himself.” - al-Hasan al-Basri
"You may spend your whole life trying to attain someone else's love only to realize that you became stronger and a better person without it. However, when it comes to the love of Allah you will only become stronger and a better person with it." Navaid Aziz
Imam al-Shafi' in his final sickness said:
When my heart was hardened
and my courses constrained
I made my hope a stairway
to Your forgiveness
My sin burdened me heavily,
but when I measured it
by Your forgiveness
Lord,
Your forgiveness was the greater.
Ali ibn abi Talib (radiAllahu anhu) in his letter to malik e Ashtar, when
sending him to a town which was half muslim and half non muslim:
"O Malik, remember they are either your brothers in faith or your equals
in humanity"
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.
Whenever I face an opponent in debate I silently pray -
O Lord, help him 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, I may follow him. - Imam Al-Shafi (rahimullah)

Subhanallah!!
This is sooooooo beautiful.
Jazakallah khair for sharing. I'll try to remember this always.
"The word "shams" (sun) is feminine, and "qamar" (moon) is masculine.
The sun burns itself out to give light and life to everything around, and
the moon is muneer, meaning it reflects the light. Within itself it has no
light; it radiates the brilliance of the sun. So when we shine as men, the
implication is that we are reflecting the glorious light of our women. May
Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'aala be pleased with them."

Wow! How true it is, the role that women play in the lives of men! :smile:
It is pointless to watch other people's houses crumbling when our own house is in need of repair and attention.
